Brazil's Italo Ferriera powered into semi-finals of the men's Olympic surfing competition with a superb 9.73 on his first wave, while South African outsider Bianca Buitendag set up a last-four clash with American teenager Caroline Moore.

With other sports at the Games fearing disruption from stormy conditions in Tokyo, surfers are embracing the wild and windy weather as the first Olympic medals in the sport's history are set to be decided on Tuesday.

With the rain pouring down and the rolling waves reaching over head height at times, Japanese surfer Kanoa Igarashi hit a brilliant early barrel wave en route to victory over American Kolohe Andino in the day's first quarter-final. On the other side of the draw, Moore cruised past Brazil's Silvana Lima, and she will take on Japan's Amuro Tsuzuki in the other semi.
