Masterful showings from local wildcard Xavier Huxtable, CT veteran Filipe Toledo and a near-perfect heat for Jake Marshall highlighted the end of Round of 32 action. Then, Ethan Ewing showed another glimpse of his rail work wizardry to post an 18.76 heat total and take the Yellow Leaders Jersey after Huxtable's dismantling of Italo Ferreira. Jordy Smith's surging form continues to the Quarterfinals alongside fellow CT veteran Kanoa Igarashi.
