Team captain Laurie McGregor and Chantelle Coote finished third in their respective heats on Saturday before ending their repêchage outside the top two. Their appearances acted as a debut for CI at an International Surfing Association event after their acceptance as a 'nation' onto the global stage in March.
The men – Jez Browning, Josh Evans, Alex Vibert and Matt Chapman – were due to begin their competition today alongside 164 other competitors from around the world.
