At 8am this morning we kicked off the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing. On the beach, spectators got a good mix of some world class surfing as men's heats 1-8 ran, and then switching gears into the women's Gidget Pro. We thought maybe a couple competitors would be moving a little slow today, after stuffing their faces yesterday post Thanksgiving meal. But that wasn't the case, there was major shredding going down in the water. Hawaiian's; Ola Eleogram, Torrey Meister, Joel Centeio, Alana Blanchard, Carissa Moore and Megan Abubo all won their heats today creating a strong Hawaiian presence early in the contest.
