The Vans Triple Crown begins

And we’re in. The 30th Anniversary Vans Triple Crown of Surfing kicked off today with the Reef Hawaiian Pro, a $250k event that’s kinda awesome despite not being a Dream Tour event. Standouts today included Nathan Hedge (trying to re-qualify after a two-year hiatus), Cory Lopez (back after a four month ankle injury) and Mason Ho (double tuberide to aerial, thanks). Tomorrow will see men like Dane Reynolds, Tanner Gudauskas, Nat Young, Jack Freestone and Occy in the water, so, probably don’t miss it if you can help it. Round of 128 H1: Shaun Joubert (ZAF) 10.83pts; Torrey Meister (HAW) 10.17pts; Makai NcNamara (HAW) 7.17pts; Eala Stewart (HAW) 5.17pts H2: Gony Zubizarreta (ESP) 13.26pts; Aritz Aranburu (EUK) 11.50pts; Kiron Jabour (HAW) 9.03pts; Derek Ho (HAW) 5.77pts H3: Stu Kennedy (AUS) 12.10pts ; O’Connell Dege (HAW) 8.80pts ; Nakamura Gregg (HAW) 4.54pts ; Dale Staples (ZAF) H4: Alain Riou (PYF) 12.60pts ; Tanner Hendrickson (HAW) 11.93pts ; Nic Muscroft (AUS) 10.93pts ; Kaimana Jaquias (HAW) 10.60pts H5: Billy Kemper (HAW) 11.20pts ; Cory Lopez (USA) 10.33pts ; Ian Gentil (HAW) 8.90pts ; Blake Thornton 6.73pts H6: Hank Gaskell (HAW) 14.67pts ; Lincoln Taylor (AUS) 10.27pts ; Marcus Hickman (HAW) 7.50pts ; Kai Barger (HAW) 5.73pts H7: Marc Lacomare (FRA) 13.37pts ; Davey Cathels (AUS) 11.50pts ; Heath Joske (AUS) 8.50pts ; Myles Padaca (HAW) 6.37pts H8: Alex Smith (HAW) 8.07pts ; Peterson Crisanto (BRA) 7.50pts ; Tim Reyes (USA) 7.10pts ; Joel Centeio (HAW) 1.53pts H9: Nathan Hedge (AUS) 13.63pts; Koa Smith (HAW) 12.43pts; Jano Belo (BRA) 12.24pts; Roy Powers (HAW) 11.20pts H10: Maxime Huscenot (FRA) 13.57pts; Tom Whitaker (AUS) 13.33pts; Flavio Nakagima (BRA) 11.57pts; Pancho Sullivan (HAW) 4.50pts H11: Garrett Parkes (AUS) 13.10pts; Billy Stairmand (NZL) 11.93pts; Ian Walsh (HAW) 10.57pts; Nic Von Rupp (DEU) 9.00pts H12: Mason Ho (HAW) 15.53pts ; Kekoa Bacalso (HAW) 10.67pts ; Ramzi Boukhiam (MAR) 7.70pts ; Flynn Novak (HAW) 5.73pts
