Wednesday was a massive day at the Jeep World Junior Championship with officials powering through 28 heats in order to crown the 2017 men's and women's junior champs. That translated into 13 hours of intense action at Bombo Beach, where Hawaii's Finn McGill and Tahiti's Vahine Fierro rose above the rest of the best 18-and-under surfers from around the globe. They walked away with precious World Title trophies and crucial head-start seeds for their 2018 Qualifying Series campaigns.
