Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach: Mens Layday photos

Fri 29 March 12:00am

While the eyes of the webcast world were on Bells and the opening round of the Women's, arguably the better action was happening at Winki with the Pop's long running walls favouring the small swell and high tide.

Ed Sloane picked a possie and parked his arse on the rocks - this is what he saw.

Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach: Pre-event photos

Ed Sloane
Tue 26 March 12:00am

"It was a weird in-between-size kinda day at Bells," said photographer Ed Sloane, "clean early then light onshore for the rest of the day. Oney Anwar (shot 1) was looking good as was Michel and Taj."

"Michel's turn in the black and white image (shot 3) was pretty insane but he didn't make it. It's hard to grasp the speed at which he was moving across that face."

Pro surfing punters should also note Gabs Medina getting his ankle treated in shot 4, but also the backhand blast by Medina in the next image.

Around the Grounds: Part 6 Victoria

Ed Sloane
Thu 12 April 12:00am

And on to the last state in the Around the Grounds series - Victoria.

Like every other region Vicco got its share of Easter swell, and not just what was seen for the Finals of the Rip Curl Pro. Victorian photographer, Ed Sloane, caught a few of the pros - amongst them Jeremy Flores, Kolohe, Michel, Alejo and Adam Melling - ripping apart the back up site to the comp.

As you can see it was a good Easter all around.

Bells & Winki Warm Up

Ed Sloane
Mon 2 April 12:00am

With Bells beginning tomorrow the pros spent the weekend fine-tuning their boards and dialling in their rail game on the long walls of Bells and Winkipop. With few ramps and even less barrels Bells and Winki are unlike the rest of the venues on the World Tour. Down here it's all about keeping speed and flow, and, when the wave allows, striking with full rail blows.

Ed Sloane caught Adriano Desouza, Gabriel Medina, Mick Fanning, Michel Bourez and Alejo Muniz adjusting their game to the winding Torquay walls.

In flight entertainment with Gabs Medina

Ed Sloane
Mon 2 April 12:00am

It's not often you see airs pulled at Bells Beach, a lack of ramps usually limit the takeoff opportunities. Yet during a warm up session yesterday Gabs Medina flew where many would've floated.

Hitting the oncoming section like a pommel horse, Medina twists off the lip before vaulting into a backside air rev and riding out cleanly.

Here's hoping we see plenty more in the days to come. Sequence by Ed Sloane.
