Bells Beach Boil Over

Submitted by MD on Fri, 05/04/2013 - 1:31pm

Talk about exciting the brazillians and rookies stepped up this year at bells to push out the big guns early. It kept us on th eedge of our seats the whole event. Stoked to see Nat Young shredding on his backhand, but De Souza tore through to take out the final. With waves from big and stormy to nice and clean, it was epic out there. The Girls were tearing it up with some of the best surfing we have ever seen, Carissa Moore taking it out.

Quin who had recently retired from competing full time to start a family seems to be in career best form.. and was unlucky to loose to WCT top surfer Josh Kerr in the Quarters. Go kiwi!!

Slater the King of Kirra

Submitted by MD on Thu, 14/03/2013 - 1:21pm

The Quiky Pro Gold Coast, produced some isane barrells and performances from the worlds top WCT surfers. In Idealic conditions of clean 4-5ft waves, the finals showcased Kirra back to its best. Kelly pulled out the standout wave of the final with a deep long barrel, then a ridiculous huge full-velocity forehand gaff, which left the wave destroyed.. incredable!! Parko and Fanning were both showing the goods early season too so cant wait for the next stop Bells Beach.. Bring in on!

Ricardo Christie was a standout at the event racing into the Semi Finals of The Breaka Burleigh Pro, ending up finishing the event in equal third place. Despite his blistering form throughout the early rounds of the event, Christie was unable to replicate the same high scores he'd found earlier in the event, while surfing against Adam Melling in the first Semifinal who had a 18+ score in the semi..

Everyone knows young Mr Florence is an absolute charger in the big stuff, especially Hawaii and hes proved it once again! For a lot of people this event just snuck under the radar, but for those pipe frothers like us, the footage from this years Volcom pro was amazing. With a four man heat format, it makes for some good old husslin, and rampant wave action. Be sure to check out the footage...
