Day 3 of the Ultimate Waterman Competition brings the athletes to the rugged coastline of Purakanui, for a stand-up paddleboarding event. As Cyclone Pam fills in, the point break lights up with the perfect right hand wave, ripe for big turns, long rides, and the occasional barrel. Kai Lenny started off with a commanding lead, but was edged out in the last few minutes by the New Zealand local, Daniel Kereopa, who snuck under the lip for some tube time to seal 1st place for the event. Check out the best action from the day.
