John John Florence of the United States finished first (12.77) and Rio Waida from Indonesia came second (11.53). The second round was a repechage round comprising two heats, with five surfers in each heat. The bottom two were eliminated. Stairmand admitted to feeling nervous prior to his heat, but didn’t allow that to overshadow his performance on the water.

Well, for those of you who didn’t tune into the live broadcast at around 11 p.m. PST last night, day three at the Rip Curl Narrabeen Classic had both the men’s and women’s round of 16, and it was a doozy, with plenty to break down.
Upsets happened all over the place, on both sides of the tour, sending the rankings for a spin. Johanne Defay took out Tyler Wright, stopping the two-time world champ and current World Number Two from reaching finals day for the second event in a row, only widening Carissa Moore’s lead in the rankings. Carissa had a strong performance herself, no stunning airs today, but strong surfing and level-headed thinking won her the heat against Brisa Hennessey, as she let one of the best waves of the heat roll through to hold on to her priority in the final minutes of the matchup.
