Rip Curl: And so it begins... Day 1 of the Rip Curl Pro 2013
Rip Curl: There are few sights in surfing more memorable than sunrise at the Bells carpark
Rip Curl: Bells, still beautiful, but too small to start competition on Day 1 of the waiting period
Rip Curl: Winki sunrise
Rip Curl: With plenty of swell and good conditions forecasted for this weekend, calling a lay day on Day 1 was a no-brainer.
Rip Curl: The Bells locals.
Rip Curl: Ruler edged conditions at Winki
Rip Curl: Jack Freestone, Alana Blanchard and Matt Wilkinson surfers made the 3-hour drive south to Johanna to surf some juice.
Rip Curl: Jack Freestone.
Rip Curl: When it's small at Bells, just take a drive down the Great Ocean Road and you'll likely find a quality wave like this.
Rip Curl: Waves like this make the 3-hour drive to Johanna worth it.
Rip Curl: Where's Wilko?
