All of the 173 registered surfers in the Open Men, Open Women and Longboard divisions surfed on day one with qualifying round one action. A total of 48 heats were completed full of action and emotion, in two simultaneous surfing venues, located 250 meters from each other.
Australia, Brazil, New Zealand and South Africa are the only countries that made it through the first day without losing any surfers into the repechage heats. Defending Team Champion Peru, USA and France, all of them powerhouse surfing nations, had at least one surfer that will now surf the do-or-die heats in the repechage rounds.
