'Stand Up World Tour
The Trials were completed in epic fashion with Tahiti's David Dorrence taking 1st, Hawaii's Pomai Hoapili taking 2nd, Australia's Justin Holland taking third and Atamu Coti rounding out the last spot for the Main Event tomorrow.'

Justin Holland is a 'Breezer' and did well winning all 3 of his heats to go through to the final where he placed 3, enough to get him through to the main event which starts tomorrow.
The photo below was from one of his heats today and they are expecting the swell to pick up tomorrow.

GOOD LUCK Justin !
