The second ASP World Tour contest is here! This is one of the most prestigious events in professional surfing, and this year is the 50th anniversary of the event running, which should have everyone on tour pushing their limits to win this thing. This event should be the clash of titans with the likes of Kelly Slater coming back to defend and possibly try to break another record by winning a fifth Bell’s Beach trophy. Others in this years mix include Mick Fanning, who is ready to take down anyone who gets in the way. Two other Australians to watch are Joel Parkinson and Taj Burrow, both with great finishes at Snapper. Some young guns in the mix are Jordy Smith, Matt Wilkinson, Tiago Pires, Alejo Muniz and Brett Simpson with great performances at Snapper. There will also be two wildcards in the event, which are unknown as of now. So, who do you think will ring the Bell? Will it be the old and wise or the young and fearless? I know I will be watching everyday to see what goes down at Bells Beach. The contest will run from April 19 through April 30. Fun Fact: this is the only sporting event in Australia that is allowed to run on Easter Friday. How would you like it if the national sport in the USA were surfing?
