Rip Curl Pro Bells Day 1 Highlights and Photos

Rip Curl Pro Bells Day 1 Highlights and Photos

Day 1 of Bells is in the books. In clean 3 to 4 foot surf the women were in the water first and ran through the entire first round.  The men got it started later in the day and made it all the way to the 9th heat of round one. If you’re like me and missed most of the action we’ve got highlights, heat scores, and photos below that should help you get all caught up. More

Quiksilver’s Byron Bay Holiday Apartments

Quiksilver’s cruel April Fools joke about building an underwater hotel in Torquay, Victoria, Australia was extremely disappointing (yeah I fell for it), but it’s not actually too far from the truth. No, just to clear up rumors, Quiksilver is NOT planning to construct a deep sea hotel similar to the Poseidon Undersea Resort in Fiji or even the underwater accommodations at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Islands Resort.

The Rip Curl Pro Bells contest starts up in a couple of days and the fine people over at Channel Islands Surfboards have granted us all a look at Kelly Slater’s quiver.
