  1. 8:04The opening Round of 32 lineup pairs Crawford, Roberson, Hunt and Goodwin.
  2. 11:04A countdown starts the first heat as the surfers paddle into position.
  3. 13:21KaiNehe Hunt catches the opening wave and completes several maneuvers.
  4. 14:31Steve Roberson wipes out while attempting an aggressive turn.
  5. 17:33Shion Crawford's first wave brings sharp turns before the closeout.

World Surf League clears the lineup for competition, and KaiNehe Hunt gets the opening wave. His first turns begin a finals-day broadcast that became the channel's most-watched new upload of the week, drawing nearly 100,000 views within two hours.

Despite the finals-day billing, there's plenty of surfing before the trophies: coverage starts with the men's Round of 32. Steve Roberson attacks a turn and wipes out; Hunt finds another wave for a controlled sequence, while Shion Crawford opens with sharp turns before his wave closes out. Joe DeMarco and Beau Hodge guide the action from the commentary booth.

Haleʻiwa supplied two substantial broadcasts among the week's fifteen uploads, with the longboard finals also drawing a sizable audience. Jacksonville Beach's Super Girl Surf Festival added another finals-day destination.

Away from live competition, the Portuguese-language People On Tour vlog revisits Gabriel Medina's Philippines Pro victory, joining Filipe Toledo and Yago Dora for competition and time exploring Siargao. It's the busiest upload in the channel's current daily-view selection, followed by two Dora clips. That gives the week a pleasing split: Hawaii for live heats, the Philippines for life around them.

The channel added 50,000 subscribers over the week, even though its current daily views are less than half its usual pace. Among nearby sports channels, PGA Tour and New Zealand Cricket drew much larger weekly view totals, while World Rugby's daily viewing is above its normal level. For World Surf League, subscriber growth and a busy competition calendar have arrived together, without a matching channel-wide viewing surge.
