The 2014 Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is on. Waves peaking at 25 feet opened the Reef Hawaiian Pro, at Haleiwa, Hawaii. The locals dominated Round 1. Ezekiel Lau, 20, was a standout surfer of the day. The Hawaiian was able to steal the highest heat score of the day – 18.53 points out of a possible 20 – with his huge drops, and a stealthy barrel. “At first I started off slow, I just wanted to feel it out. But then I was like, ‘alright, let’s do this! Let’s sit outside, get a bomb and make this happen’,” explains Lau.
