⁠ Highlights of yesterday's Nissan Super Girl Surf Pro Powered by Celsius wrapped with fierce competition on the water, ultimately narrowing the field of 64 to 16 heading into Finals Day today⁠ ⁠ “This event is super important for our Hawaii region because we don’t get as many opportunities as the North America side,” said Sakura Johnson. “We’re really fortunate, I think we’re all super hungry to progress from the QS to the Challenger to the CT. To have younger girls look up to you as an inspiration is really cool and we all just want what’s best for the next generation.”⁠ ⁠ Fellow former 2022 CT rookie, Luana Silva (BRA), stole the show in the final heat of the day alongside Santa Cruz’s Autumn Hays for their spots into the Round of 16. Also making big noise on their way to Finals Day, 14-year-old Kylie Pulcini (USA) earned her spot in clutch fashion alongside Barbados’ former CT surfer Chelsea Tuach, two-time Super Girl victor Sage Erickson (USA), Costa Rica’s Leilani McGonagle (CRI), North America No. 3 Zoe Benedetto (USA), Tahitian teenager Kohai Fierro, and more. ⁠ ⁠ Photos by Andrew Nichols/World Surf League. ⁠ ------------
