The morning kicked off with the remaining eight heats of men’s round two and then continued with women’s round two and the first two heats of round three.
Reigning WSL champion and current world number one Tyler Wright, from Culburra Beach, will have to deal with elimination round four after an incredible performance from three-time WSL Champion Carissa Moore (HAW).
The superheat witnessed former event winner Moore and Lakey Peterson (USA) trade off excellent scores, but Moore’s 8.83 and 8.40 were too much for the Californian, who could not find the 8.90 needed to take the heat.
Moore also dominated her round two heat against compatriot Malia Manuel (HAW) with a big air for a 7.33 on the single manoeuvre.
Previously, Wright took down event wildcard Macy Callaghan (AUS) in heat three of round two.
Callaghan put on a great performance with a solid 7.33, but the defending event winner got the edge with a 7.43.
The Australians then tied their back-up scores with a 5.50. Callaghan was not able to close the 0.10-point gap to advance through to the next round.
