The Vans US Open of Surfing continued at the Huntington Beach pier Monday as parts of the Southland got monsoonal moisture, leading to huge waves, flood warnings and dangerous rip currents.

The Huntington Beach event features surfing, skateboarding and BMX competitions. Monday, surfers saw eight-foot waves, which was making for a lively competition.

"With one wave, I knew my pure skill had to come into play," said Philippa Anderson, a surf competitor. She was able to advance to the next round.
