A battle of Huntington Beach and San Clemente unfolded between World Title contender Kanoa Igarashi and Crosby Colapinto. Igarashi's early control of the heat gave way to last-second drama. Colapinto found a wave deep up the point and got to his feet before the horn sounded, but Igarashi was not as fortunate and stood up after the horn - rendering his priority useless and was penalized an interference to face elimination.
