The third and final event of the Hawaiian QS triple-header is finally here — the Florence Pipe Pro.

“It’s crazy because on paper, the Hawaiian QS’ are small-scale events with no broadcast, modest points and prize money,” said Finn McGill, who currently leads the unofficial Triple Crown leaderboard with wins at both Sunset and Haleiwa.

“But at the same time, they’re at heavy-water waves that are culturally important to surfing and you’re competing against a world-class field. It sounds kind of petty, but I’ve got a bit of a chip on my shoulder because a lot of people were saying the last Vans Triple Crown, the digital version, came with an asterisk, and it pissed me the fuck off.”

Kaipo is on the mic, Betonline is on the odds, and a few thousand QS points are on the line.

Finn McGill — 4,000
