On this particular Sunset spot, Huscenot experienced a particularly bizarre round 2. He took an entry wave with a good move, leaving a 4.50. But afterwards, he was never able to find a back up, his 4.50 thus remaining his only score in the series…
Meanwhile, Nat Young (11.40) and Matthew McGillivray (9.63) gave the judges work. Kai Lenny, Connor O’Leary and Ezekiel Lau, author of an interference, also disappeared from the table after this repechage round.
In the 16th round, Kelly Slater will face Jake Marshall while Gabriel Medina and John John Florence will face Rio Wanda and Ian Gentil respectively.
