Primers brawl Sunset at Vans World Cup (day one highlights)

Today, primers brawled bumpy Sunset beach for round one of the Vans World Cup. Thanks to 24 hours of howling onshores, the unpredictability of the waves were reflected in the heat scores. Sunset is a muscle of a wave at the best of times and it was on its power game today. But that didn’t stop some of the best low seeds having a good old fashioned swing. Catch the best moments above, as if you need telling – at this point of the year we’re all so horny for webcasts that we’ll watch whatever we can get, and it just so happens that Sunset is real good viewing.

And, here’s a little update to the ever-changing qualifying shuffle at this point (aka after round one of the year’s last qualifying event):
