Olympic Bronze Medalist Amuro Tsuzuki (JPN) was the headline act on Day 1 at Omaezaki and her performance showed why. The former Championship Tour competitor utilised lefts and rights to post the second highest heat total of the opening day and progress into the Round of 16.
"The waves were tricky out there today but I felt like I was ready for it," Tsuzuki said. "I've been practising for challenging conditions like this and I felt that in my performance. I'm hoping to keep this sort of form going. I want to enjoy my surfing and do my best for the rest of the event."

Tuzuki might have been the highest profile competitor on Day 1 but Kana Nakashio (JPN) was the standout performer, posting the highest score in the Qualifying Series and the Pro Junior event. Nakashio posted a 15.00 point two-wave combination in her pro junior heat and looks to be the woman to beat in both divisions at Omaezaki Long Beach this week.
