Eastwood, of the Jersey Surfboard Club, eventually placed ninth overall, out of 48 entrants, being edged out by .5 of a point by Euro Junior Champion Reuben Ash.
Said Eastwood: ‘It was a very hard heat and unfortunately I fell on a crucial turn.
If I held onto the top turn snap on the end section I would have gone through to the semi finals.’ The surf was a solid 6ft and offshore on the Saturday, dropping off slightly on the Sunday.
Ben Chapman reached the second round of the Open but also fell on a critical part of his wave after performing one of the standout manoeuvres in Saturday’s opening rounds.
Johnny Carden, the former fifth world ranked masters surfer, reached the masters semi finals and was placed fifth overall.
