Makuakai Rothman earns an 6.67 in Heat 1 of the Semis.
It may have taken half the day to finally get started, but Day 1 of the 2017 Pe'ahi Challenge was more than worth the wait.
The Maui local brought out a much shorter board than his opponents, and rode it straight to the Semis.
Chianca and Jamie Mitchell find heat-leading scores, while Nathan Florence and more take off in Round One, Heat 4.
