The Vans World Cup of Surfing got off on the right foot this morning at Sunset Beach, with the first round of competition hitting the waves at 8am. Wave face heights are around 8 feet, with occasionally bigger sets.
The second jewel in the Triple Crown of Surfing, the Vans World Cup of Surfing is a test for any surfer–on big days, the waves at Sunset span an enormous playing field, shifting constantly and testing the mettle of every competitor. Only a few surfers have gained an outright mastery of the unruly, complicated wave. A place where power begets power, Sunset Beach is an ideal canvas for power surfers.
