Gentil defeated Japan’s Kanoa Igarashi 10.67-5.40 in the round of 32 before topping California’s Griffin Colapinto 9.17-6.60 to set up an all-Maui quarterfinal with Imaikalani deVault. The two Valley Isle surfers advanced at the same time, with their round-of-16 heats being contested concurrently. Two other Maui surfers, Eli Hanneman and Jackson Bunch, were eliminated in the round of 32 earlier in the day.
