GOAT Kelly Slater escapes Elimination Round behind Caio Ibelli's barrel hunting success, sending World No. 1 Barron Mamiya to face elimination. John John Florence fired into action with barrels all his all to accrue the day's highest heat total so far of a 14.83 over Jake Marshall and Keanu Asing. Plus, Ethan Ewing's style and power on full display to punch into the first excellent score of opening day at Sunset Beach.
