In addition to the points race for WCT qualification and rankings points for the Vans Triple Crown, Hawaiian Airlines added another contest to the stakes this season in Hawaii: The Best-in-Class competition, which awards 250,000 air miles to the surfer with the best two-wave total at the end of Triple Crown. With a 19.64 in the Reef Hawaiian Pro Final, Dusty Payne (HAW) has claimed the prize.

The Reef Pro, which opened the Triple Crown at Haleiwa, saw an incredible number of high-scoring rides -- 49 nine-pointers and a Perfect 10.
