Joel, 26, came from the very first round, winning all seven heats he contested. He now takes an early lead on the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing presented

Congratulations to Joel Centeio, Winner of the 2009 Reef Hawaiian Pro - the first jewel of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. We had great conditions all day, making it a great day to hold the finals in. It only makes sense that the Haleiwa local boy takes home the crown. Joel got the bomb of the day pulling into a huge barrel disappearing completely, then taking the side door exit right before it
