Watch: Woz Winki Warm-Up
Filmed three days back by Cahill Bell-Warren, this vid shows Ethan, Molly and co. limbering up at small, clean Winki.
Though the outlook ain't crash hot, some time at Winki may pay off as there's a good chance opening rounds may be held at small, clean Rincon - a wave not unlike Winki.
Then again, competitors may be sent out during a south-east swell at Bells - there's a few bouts of it in the forecast - and that direction has been known to flummox any visiting surfer.
Video filmed by Cahill Bell-Warren, who knows as much about the capricious nature of Bells as any surfer who's walked the steps.
Comments
Could watch Ethan surf all day.
and I thought my life was dull
Ha, no that's watching Italo doing a reverse.
Correct, memlasurf
While landing many airs are not always stylish, fluid or worth scoring a '10'....
the 'go for it attitude' may impress the judges, spectators.... and your partner.
Hah, style's a long forgotten thing it seems.
He surfs the way I 'think' I do sex.
O’Leary putting a lot of wapah into those lip hits.
EE is unbelievably smooth and precise.
Too smooth and precise in my opinion. He's got to find some animal looseness or he'll get overlooked. Should study AI and Dane.
Reckon it'll run Wednesday and Thursday?
Wednesday no, Tuesday more likely, Thursday possibly but 'devil windy'.
Would love to see a comp in solid SE swell Bells
Wave & wind models are all over the place on Windy
