THIS WEEK IN SURFING and... A Bellringer

Arranged by Mike Jennings

Can you feel that? That air? That familar fresh feeling Autumn brings to us all. Temperature cooling, crowds thinning, the surf perhaps starting to pump a little more but the sun still shinging all the same? Great isn't it. The Australian leg of the World Tour is over, and with its departure the glits and glamour of surfing in Australia falls away and is replaced by the romance of it all: cold mornings, winter camping trips, and much much better waves (in some parts of the country anyway). What's that got to do with the week just past? Dunno, but let's take a look at the top 10 things that surfing brought to the internet regardless.



1. Bells!

Yes. Bells Happened. The Rip Curl Pro at Bells happened and for the third year in a row it ran exclusively at Bells (rather than Winki or Johanna or...) which guaranteed it's awesomeness. Adriano won the Men's. Carissa the Girl's. Next stop Brazi, but before then here are some things from the Rip Curl Pro, like a flip-book, a gallery, some videos. Enjoy.
