The ASP World Junior Championship Title has been won by some of surfing’s most iconic talent including the likes of reigning ASP World Champion Joel Parkinson, Adriano de Souza, Jordy Smith , and Andy Irons.
With Bells beginning tomorrow the pros spent the weekend fine-tuning their boards and dialling in their rail game on the long walls of Bells and Winkipop. With few ramps and even less barrels Bells and Winki are unlike the rest of the venues on the World Tour. Down here it's all about keeping speed and flow, and, when the wave allows, striking with full rail blows.
Ed Sloane caught Adriano Desouza, Gabriel Medina, Mick Fanning, Michel Bourez and Alejo Muniz adjusting their game to the winding Torquay walls.

It's not often you see airs pulled at Bells Beach, a lack of ramps usually limit the takeoff opportunities. Yet during a warm up session yesterday Gabs Medina flew where many would've floated.
Hitting the oncoming section like a pommel horse, Medina twists off the lip before vaulting into a backside air rev and riding out cleanly.
Here's hoping we see plenty more in the days to come. Sequence by Ed Sloane.
