Olamana Eleogram of Hana competes during the second round of the Vans World Cup of Surfing on Monday at Sunset Beach on Oahu’s North Shore. In clean barreling conditions, Eleogram posted a two-wave score of 12.37 to place second in his heat behind Oahu’s Pancho Sullivan (12.90) and advance to the round of 64. Also moving on to the third round were Kuau’s Ian Walsh (13.50) and Paia’s Ian Gentil (10.47), who both won their heats. Among those eliminated in the round of 96 were Valley Isle surfers Billy Kemper, Kai Barger, Tanner Hendrickson and Granger Larsen. Honolulu’s Carissa Moore, the Association of Surfing Professionals women’s world champion, placed third in her heat with a 7.83 and was eliminated. Moore had received wildcard entries into the first two events of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing but failed to advance out of a heat both at Sunset and at last week’s Reef Hawaiian Pro.
