Mick Fanning and Carissa Moore ring the bell at the Rip Curl Pro

Wednesday, 23 April 2014

A thrilling Finals day at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach saw Mick Fanning and Carissa Moore ring the Bell and claim victory at the historic event. The day started with the Women’s competition where Moore came out on top at Bells Bowl. The competition then moved to Winkipop for the Men’s Semifinals and Finals where Fanning reigned supreme.

Last Friday Tim Bonython parked himself in the channel at The Right as a wild session went down. The heaviest thing he saw was a double tow in featuring Sandy Ryan and Chris Ross whipping in off the same rope.

Sharing, as the old saying goes, is caring.
