New Zealand surfer Paige Hareb has been knocked out of the US Open, comprehensively beaten in her quarter-final by former world champion Carissa Moore at Huntington Beach in California overnight (NZT).
Moore's 15.10 was well clear of Hareb, who could only manage 8.60 after her fourth-round high 14.87 the previous day put her through to the last eight.
Hareb's finish meant she qualified for the 2013 ASP world tour for the fourth year on end.
