Hawaii surfers move on in Roxy Jam UK

Hawaii surfers Rochelle Ballard and Keala Kennelly won their heats to advance to the third round of the Roxy Jam UK yesterday in St. Agnes, Cornwall, England. Megan Abubo also moved on to the next round.

Ballard earned 11.65 points in her heat to place first. Kennelly edged second-place Abubo 11.50-11.35 to win her heat.

Kennelly was third with 30 seconds left when she caught a wave that gave her 7.15 points to jump into first. Kennelly, still feeling the effects of a gash on her head suffered in Tahiti, avoided having to surf in the second round by winning the heat.

"When that cold water hit where I had my injury, it felt like somebody was taking a nail and a hammer and just pounding it into the back of my skull," Kennelly said. "That was really my motivation going into round one, I was thinking, 'If I make it through this heat, I won't have to surf again.' "
