Pros in the Water

Jasmina and I took the day off on Tuesday and headed to Bells Beach to watch some of the Rip Curl Pro. The swell at Bells when we arrived.
The Board. We watched some great surfing from Jeremy Flores and Adriano DeSouza in their respective heats. We just missed an exciting heat with Kelly Slater (9 time World Surfing Title Holder) in the water... ....but we saw Mick Fanning signing autographs in the car park! We got there in time to watch the competition move to WinkiPop, the break next to Bells. The crowds were out! The weather was gorgeous! We climbed over a fence and sat on the cliffs (illegally!) to watch a couple heats. Here are the security guards making the rounds and giving everyone the first warning. The surf was going off, and conditions were pretty perfect for some epic surfing.
A grainy shot of a "sick cutty"....and then we went surfing ourselves!
