Es war kein einfacher erster Contesttag bei dem Vans World Cup of Surfing  2014. Bei einer ordentlichen Brise und 10-15 Fuß Sunset Beach trennte sich die Spreu vom Weizen und so waren es die North Shore Locals die den Spot beherrschten. Ganz vorne mit dabei Kai Barger. Der Gewinner von Haleiwa, Dusty Payne durfte sich noch schonen, wie auch Joel Parkinson, der erst in Runde 3 ran muss. 

Hier die Ergebnisse:
