and surfers surfed on Friday at the Master of the Ocean. Clearing winds came from the West all night and into the am hours. Winds calmed as the surf grew. Friday had the biggest surf of the competition to date. Maui John battled heavy conditions for 10 waves to take the day and bring the SUP Cup to a tie at 1- 1 with Gordon Gannon. Thursday and Friday are the days that count so far for the SUP CUP.

Gordon “McLoven” Gannon takes commanding lead in the Master of the Ocean SUP Exhibition.

Gannon wins the first two SUP days by a narrow margin over John Holzhall (Maui John).

“…we count the best two days of surf…” said Gannon “so the first two days were small and fun, I won by percentage…they probably won’t count, but we will see”.

Large surf is predicted for the weekend.
