https://www.hurley.com/collections/hurley-pro-at-sunset-beach-collection
Since it hosted the first Championship Tour event ever in 1976, Sunset Beach has long stood as an old-school test of power surfing. And while timeless rail-to-rail surfing still dominates, a new school of surfers is beginning to redefine the wave with a more modern approach. Who will win out, and who heads to colder waters on a hot streak?

Mark it on your calendar but today opening day at the hurle pro Sunset Beach opening round Heat number 11 Jordy Smith a former winner out here against a Brother’s Duo Big Brother Miguel poopo and little brother Samuel poopo that we have on the championship tour but we’re starting off right here with Jordy

Smith and the Big South African is able to power through turns here at Sunset Beach and we’ll be waiting for the opening number for Jordy Smith in this matchup where he took his first win and he might be up and right here he goes the backand here

For the goofy foot out of the Poo Clan up into the lip and look at this hangs on what a turn for Miguel poopo that was all commitment high risk and Jesse what did we just see to do when you make things look easier um but as you see right here it’s completely

The opposite just bottom turning and hitting as hard as you can and getting some extra pop on that lip line right there just so much pressure throughout the turn that he got some right there right there he pushed the back foot and gets just a lift from the lip and it’s

Was just a beautiful turn with so much spray as well not to mention that is very hard to do um to get spray once you hitting the lip it’s and that’s all because he started early that turn started a little bit before the lip and

As the lip came down he started to hit the lip line sideways almost felt right there but regrouped and we’ve seen some big scores already with one turns and this is going to look good for him yeah that this wave this wave just gets you

Stuck on the phone but we see um Sammy here Samuel poo younger brother here on the attack big layback hack for Samuel so nice exchange between the two brothers at this point 5 .5 locks in for Miguel’s wave we’ll be waiting for score for Sammy poopo looks like migy up and ring again

Migy up again one backhand hook there looking for a little bit more open face cannot find that but he’s going to ride this one all the way in for the White Water Patrol and you see migi here on the other side just a cleaner wave smart for

Him to get something on the board just what we expect from migi very clean raos never really catch any um dig any R pick up there in the tube Jordy Smith and coming out for Jordy Smith disappearing act for the South African former champ out here and he’s bringing his aame in

This opening round that was such you can see the smile on his face such an impressive Barrel ride see here is the score that he got for this yes and this is what we have been talking about all day you want this waves that actually look small but they’re growing down the

Line and hit the NBO better right here getting lipped but then just slowing himself down just enough to get the best barrel of the day by far like that was one two three sections and going through that fumo in the end right there he has a temporary lead over the field because

There’s going to be a giant number that will populate for Jordy Smith and there it goes highest score of the day a 9.33 for jity well earned there’s all the judges numbers and quick up and out by Samuel poopo but how impressive was that Jesse you saw that coming side by side with

His brother as Sammy was able to re-qualify for the championship tour at the last Challenger Series stop here we go replay Jordy Smith with the backup here yeah just kind of a flat section in the beginning back to live action here with Miguel poopo on the backand

Beautiful snap for Miggy lines up this trench of a bottom turn one more vertical snap he gets two in that time Miguel poopo the six-point ride will take him into the lead over Jordy Smith Jordy Smith with a 9.33 searching for a backup score at the moment 12 minutes 30

Seconds remaining um he’s 2.17 and being the wave behind getting rewarded and you can’t denied excellent surfing just backto back massive turns air dropping right there so on that second turn he literally lost all fields of touch with the water that’s so hard to do it and so

Hard to um regroup from that and as you see right here just a beautiful bottom turn stomping on the back foot bringing the board all around and that’s a big board to move it’s not easy and just as I mentioned a little bit ago disengaging from the water so

It’s basically like your air dropping well done for Miguel poopo finding that wave giving him room for two backand snaps and it’s very hard to find today and Sammy up and riding just in and out pretty quick but super hard to find that clean of a wall and able to

Actually perform two big turns Miguel getting to knot a little bit probably because of how critical those turns were um obviously a different heat a little bit of a different scale but yeah surfing was amazing from both of them here comes Jordy smaller wave here keeps

That Smith shaped surf for clean on the rails lip line Glide and a beautiful finish there looking to improve upon a three-point ride he said no problem it’s on his leash foot that Booty’s well sealed and he’s used to surfing with it at this point yes and right here just very

Critical turn um the gallery on the beach continues to grow Miguel poopo going vert on the backand carve for a second turn before exiting in the channel looking to best a 5.5 for poo so we’ll be waiting for those scores and see how they affect the situation out on

The water score owed to us by the judges for Smith as well as Miguel poo a cut back before that turn and migi also another fining another like smaller kind of underneath very clean wave unfortunately for him it was just a one big turn I’m not I don’t think it’s

Going to better his 5.5 2 minutes remaining four-point ride last of Miguel the need for Samuel at a 9.44 here he goes and uses his priority wave growing down the line beautiful slash there to begin needs more on this wave back up in the lip layback hack catches the outside rail unfortunate Circle

For the younger poo wow that’s a big Miss opportunity very good wave very tall in size amazing speed he carried throughout the wave which is hard to do when you’re having so much ocean power pushing you side ra caught a little bit but as you see it right here just nice

Tall wave right there probably the tallest wave of the heat so far and beautiful first layback slash and going into that second turn right here a not great turn but just actually caught the the outside so Samuel likely going to be sent to that elimination round here we go with

Jordy H just some Lazy S turns looking down the line he’s just going to take this wave in with a Heat win in heat 11 of the opening round yeah what a performance um that was oh someone’s in the barrel oh in the barrel Sammy poopo

Finds that Barrel on the paddle back out we’re just catching up with him under priority needs a huge number however needs a 9.44 but at least he goes down swinging we’ll take another look at that one as you see right here underneath taking off Stalin very deep section deep Barr right

There well read for him very hard to do it definitely not getting at a 9.44 range but a well served wave there for Sammy and if he had that first score 9.33 a 6.17 and Smith with the Heat win
