Compatriots clash alongside premier duals to set up the first Finals Day for the world's best longboarders. Declan Wyton and Kai Ellice-Flint put on an absolute showcase despite deteriorating conditions in an all-Australian bout that Wyton was able to claim after watching a bout of Hawaii's talents, Kelis Kaleopa'a and Natalia Wunderlich. Kaleopa'a joins former World Champs Kai Sallas, Rachael Tilly, Soleil Errico, and Honolua Blomfield into Finals Day. Emerging threat John Michael Van Hohenstein returned to the spotlight once more as he looks for a major victory alongside perennial World Title threats Kaniela Stewart, Ben Skinner, and more starting in the Quarterfinals. But, the Round of 16 await its conclusion to ignite Finals Day magic when competition resumes.
