It is impossible to tell the story of the 2014 Vans United States Open of Surfing. There is just too much that happens. At any given point in time during the Open, Matt Banting could be landing a slob-grab reverse while Greyson Fletcher is doing a hurricane grind on a gravely section of pool coping while a pro surfer is enjoying an afternoon delight in his (or her!) swanky hotel room while a guy is holding a sign and screaming about Jesus while a 14-year-old kid is rounding second base under the pier while a child is building a sand castle while Kolohe Andino gets ready for his heat while Dane Reynolds is hosting a pizza party and his party-goers are drinking red whine out of a turquoise shoe.
