Following a successful dawn session at one of Australia's original slab waves, Nathan Florence quickly jumped coasts, hitting the Margaret River region just as a large swell hit its peak.

Teaming up with his brother for a session in heaving 6ft pits, with plenty of makes and no-makes. Special mention goes to Caity Simmers chipping in from deep at 4:40s.

The 'Slab Tour' continues.

I like it that JJ is surf stoked enough to squeeze a surf in at the box before his heat.

No psycho babble heat preparation for John. But plenty of psycho tubes!

So I take it there’s no chance they will run the comp at the box again?
Seemed to have multiple opportunities this week and they didn’t do it?
Would have made great viewing
Was mesmerising last time it ran there when Owen got that bomb

Was it Steve or Ben in the live chat who said as long as 'the cut' exists, it will never run at The Box again. Unfortunately, I think they're correct.
If that's the case, the WSL should remove any reference/cock tease to the chance of it running there.

When is Sierra Kerr going on tour? She will be a multiple title contender for sure.

This to me is why i hardly watch the WSL anymore. Everyone still remembers how good the last time they run the comp at the box. Italo/Owen and Jack killed it.
It seems that because some pro's struggle in the slabby waves, the powers that be don't see it as a level playing field and don't want to disadvantage anyone.
As mentioned earlier, it's false advertising to display the box in there marketing.
Can't understand it
