While most of the high-scoring rides during the Pipe Trials came from rights at Backdoor, Hawaiian Josh Moniz mixed things up when a set swung west. The North Shore local threaded the needle on this critical Pipe wave to earn a massive 9.07, solidifying his Semifinal win. Josh advanced to the Final of the Pipe Trials with fellow North Shore local Finn McGill.
