Vans team rider Andrew 'Droid' Doheny put on a solid showing at today's Vans Pier Classic to advance into the Round of 32 behind ASP World Tour surfer Damien Hobgood. The regular-footer from Newport Beach, California relied on a few powerful carves and several backside cracks to capitalize on his wildcard entry into the top seeded round of the contest while defeating New York standout Balaram Stack and Hawaiian Makai McNamara.

Droid will surf again in the Round of 32 and is still to come in the Round of 32 in the Vans Pro Junior, where Doheny will look to find his way back onto the elite ASP World Junior Tour once again for 2011.
