Hawaii's John John Florence, who will represent Team USA at the Olympics in two months' time, was a standout on the men's draw, but was looking ahead to even bigger, better waves forecast for a few days' time. Kelly Slater, the 11-time world champion who was granted a wildcard after missing the mid-year cut, was another standout. The 52-year-old sent reigning Tahiti Pro champion Jack Robinson and Morocco's Ramzi Boukhiam to the elimination round with the men's second-highest heat score of the day.
