Stephanie Gilmore said, "It's the worst feeling, ever. You are trying so hard and there's so much pressure. Look I'm emotional, but that just shows how much I care about it. It stings and it hurts, but now it's all about Maui."
Lakey Peterson said, "I felt like the chips were falling into place, but honestly I am just disappointed with my surfing. I let a couple of things get in my head too much and that affected the control of the heat."
She continued, "On the positive side I'm still in the race and the race is going to Hawaii, so I still have a chance. I'll go home, get a breather. I'll rest up, get healthy. I'll keep training and keep surfing and be as good as I can possibly be at Maui." - WQ3CXPBSZmg
