Joe Turpel was joined on set by Rosy Hodge and Peter Mel for an extended Post Show to recap all the big stories from the week that was at the Vans US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, CA. The biggest story of the day was the Round Three exit of current No. 1 on the Qualifying Series rankings, Brazilian Jesse Mendes. Mendes, who still holds a commanding lead on the ratings list, was joined by a handful of Championship Tour surfers including two rookies battling for the Rookie of the Year award -- Connor O'Leary and Frederico Morais. The Men's Round of 16 begins at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, with Heats 1 -8 set to be completed. The Women's CT Semifinal and Final will run Sunday, mid-morning.
