Maui's latest addition to the CT, Eli Hanneman, took over his Opening Round battle with three-time World Champ Gabriel Medina and South Africa's Matthew McGillvray. Despite McGillvray's excellent 8.33, Hanneman found a Sunset Beach gem for tube time and took over the heat win with just moments remaining. Now, Hanneman and McGillvray enjoy the day off while Medina must overcome the Elimination Round.
