Former ASP World Tour surfer Ben Bourgeois stamped his authority as an event favorite at this year's Vans Pier Classic by tearing his way through the first two rounds while blasting the day's top scores. Also flaring up in the opening rounds were junior talents Dillon Perillo and Kolohe Andino, who mixed up committing airs and clean carving turns to advance through to Round 3. Tomorrow's Vans Pier Classic action will also see surfers competing in the Ezekiel Pro Junior event hit the water alongside Round 3 of the men's main event.
