First eliminations were dealt while other World Title hopes are salvaged for now with Bells Beach's iconic lineup providing the arena. An excellent showing from Avalon Gall, elimination evasion from perennial World Title hopeful Chloe Calmon, and more led the women's charge into the Round of 16. Veterans staked their claim in the men's Elimination duals with Tony Silvagni leading the way alongside WSL Longboard Champion Steven Sawyer, fellow perennial threat Kevin Skvarna, and also newcomer Rogelio JR Esquievel continues to make his statements into the Round of 16.
