The Inertia

With the 2013 Vans World Cup of Surfing at Sunset Beach on Oahu’s North Shore set to kick off in the very near future, we’re rewinding history for you to take a look at some past winners of this prestigious event. The second jewel of the Triple Crown, after the Reef Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa and before the Billabong Pipe Masters, this event can make or break a run at a Triple Crown title. A good start at Haleiwa does not forecast success for the remainder of the three part North Shore race.
