Watch: Big Session At The Box
Following a successful dawn session at one of Australia's original slab waves, Nathan Florence quickly jumped coasts, hitting the Margaret River region just as a large swell hit its peak.
Teaming up with his brother for a session in heaving 6ft pits, with plenty of makes and no-makes. Special mention goes to Caity Simmers chipping in from deep at 4:40s.
The 'Slab Tour' continues.

How's that mental one Filipe got - oh, wait. Go Caity though
I like it that JJ is surf stoked enough to squeeze a surf in at the box before his heat.
No psycho babble heat preparation for John. But plenty of psycho tubes!
Margaret River 2023, the greatest comp that never was.
Mental! Photog credits?
Oops, right you are, Lance Morgan and Jack O’Grady, here.
So I take it there’s no chance they will run the comp at the box again?
Seemed to have multiple opportunities this week and they didn’t do it?
Would have made great viewing
Was mesmerising last time it ran there when Owen got that bomb
Was it Steve or Ben in the live chat who said as long as 'the cut' exists, it will never run at The Box again. Unfortunately, I think they're correct.
If that's the case, the WSL should remove any reference/cock tease to the chance of it running there.
Sierra Kerr also out there having a dig
See the first photo.
When is Sierra Kerr going on tour? She will be a multiple title contender for sure.
This to me is why i hardly watch the WSL anymore. Everyone still remembers how good the last time they run the comp at the box. Italo/Owen and Jack killed it.
It seems that because some pro's struggle in the slabby waves, the powers that be don't see it as a level playing field and don't want to disadvantage anyone.
As mentioned earlier, it's false advertising to display the box in there marketing.
Can't understand it
Weird seeing surfers go, been in bewg vids forever. Is that Brad Stone charging? Mad man. Nate's crazy too haha.
What a prick of a wave.
'Sore neck, sore back, you know the rest...ha ha'
Yeah no wonder Nate. Sheez.
