After the first day of postponement since the beginning of the window, the sea reacted this Wednesday to the conclusion of the round of 16 with simultaneous batteries of 40min, in waves of 2m high in the Main Break.

Leader of the ranking and coming from 3 consecutive finals in the season, Gabriel Medina made many mistakes in the drums against the Hawaiian Seth Moniz. Needing only a 3.84 note to turn, when he lost by 9.84 to 9.53, the leader of the ranking ended up not getting a wave in the final minutes and said goodbye to the competition with the 9th position. The early defeat leaves Italo free to regain the lead if he wins the stage.
