Simpson, current No. 15 on the ASP WQS, earned the day's top honors of highest single-wave score with a near-flawless 9.87 out of 10 contributing to the day's highest heat total of 18.87 out of a possible 20 for a stunning come-from-behind victory in the latter half of the heat.

"I had such a slow start and it was really frustrating so I just took it out on the waves," Simpson said. "I got next to the pier and nobody was there and that wave came and I got the 9.87."

Moments after clawing his way into the top position with his 9.87, Simpson solidified his advancement with an unbelievable aerial to post a 9.00 out of a possible 10.

"I just thought I had a good section and I knew I should go for it," Simpson said. "I know that they are scoring good on high-risk maneuvers. I'm trying to just relax and keep doing what I'm doing and when you get a solid score it allows you to do a bigger move on your next wave."
Simpo charged all day defending his home break, he was even equipped with his own Cheer squad dawned with "GO BRETT" Hurley hats.
