E’ partito subito fin dal primo giorno del waiting period il Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, secondo stop del World Tour, approfittando di una swell in crescita e portando a termine i primi due round maschili e femminili.
Le prime due giornate si sono svolte su onde di un metro e mezzo e non sono mancate le sorprese, soprattutto nei round maschili, con l’eliminazione di nomi importanti come Julian Wilson, Adrian Buchan, Kieren Perrow, Alejo Muniz e Kolohe Andino.
La mareggiata si prevede durare per tutta la settimana, con presumibile conclusione del contest prima di pasqua.
