SUNSET BEACH, Hawaii - Day 1 of the 2014 Sunset Beach Pro got started yesterday in clean 5 -7 foot waves. After a slow morning with small surf, the swell slowly picked up enough for the men's trial round to get underway. 34 hopefuls came out swinging for 8 available spots in the main rounds. It was a good start to one of the most highly anticipated events on the calendar and with a bump in the swell expected later this week, it looks like the Sunset Beach Pro will finish in bigger, better waves.

BERND ROEDIGGER (HI) 12.17
