Sitting in third place with the clock ticking down in his Round Three heat, it seemed Griffin Colapinto's impressive run at the Hawaiian Pro was coming to a close. But with a few seconds left, Haleiwa granted him one more wave, and the Californian took full advantage. The 18-year-old hucked his board above the lip of a mean closeout section, and spun his way to the best maneuver of the event. His near-perfect 9.97 on this wave rocketed him into first place, and through to Round Four.
