Haleiwa’s Joel Centeio won the Local Motion Surf Into Summer Pro on Sunday in 5-foot waves at Ala Moana Bowls.

Centeio won the four-man final with a two-wave score of 13.25. Haleiwa’s Sunny Garcia was second with a 12.9, Hana’s Hank Gaskell finished third with an 11.5 and Lihue’s Kaimana Jaquias finished fourth with a 6.15.

Centeio also posted the highest scores in the quarterfinals (17.05) and semifinals (16.6).

"This is by far the best Bowls I’ve ever surfed," Centeio was quoted as saying in a World Surfing League media release. "The waves were insane the whole time."
