Hanneman places third in Indonesia

Maui’s Eli Hanneman placed third at the Hello Pacitan Pro in Indonesia on Saturday. The World Surf League Qualifying Series 1,000-rated event was held in 3- to 6-foot waves at Watu Karung in East Java.

Hanneman needed two scores to edge 15-year-old Kian Martin in the semifinal. However, the 14-year-old suffered a major wipeout, which resulted in minor facial injuries. He was forced to leave the water halfway through the heat.

Martin was bested by Indonesia’s Rio Waida in the final.
