Kolohe said,

There was also support from the dolphins during the heats.

Unlike yesterday, he showed good surfing and I thought he would win,
My opponent's strange 720 degree spinning air without a turn resulted in an unexpected high point and a reversal loss.

Even when he loses, Kolohe still signs autographs.

You won with great enthusiasm.

Kieren also seemed to be doing well on his MAYEHM board, so it's a shame that he lost here.
This year, it's noticeable that Aussies are using MAYEHM boards!

The Australian Adam Melling is the one Nishii is paying attention to this time.

On the last ride,

It was a brilliant turnaround.
and,,,,

US Open champion Julian also made a comeback with his signature last ride to win!

The last ride point wasn't called until I got out of the water and took a shower.

When the call was made and Julian realized that he had made a comeback, he pumped his fist in excitement.

The winning trophy here is a railroad track ornament.

Tomorrow we will do our best to film and report on Round 3, so stay tuned!
