During this break, they engaged in various activities such as running errands, doing laundry, and recreational pursuits near Teahupo'o. Surfing greats like Carissa Moore and Ethan Ewing were seen enjoying their time, while Tyler Wright tried flax weaving, and Brisa Hennessy cooked traditional Costa Rican dish Gallo pinto. Competition is set to resume on August 1.
