JACK'S SURFBOARDS PRO: FIREWORKS ON OPENING DAY

The Jack's Surfboards Pro QS 1,000 fired into opening day action with beautiful, three-to-five foot, occasional plus conditions and competitors relished in the opportunity. Big performances highlighted Round 1 despite prevailing winds bringing in fog delays toward the end of the round. Round 2 Heats 1 through 5 were able to finish with more brilliant surfing as the delays pushed competition back. But, the damage was done as another big day awaits tomorrow.

The Jack's Surfboards Pro will be broadcast live August 5 - 8 at Huntington Beach, California - see the tagged events to find links to the live stream!
