2012 Rip Curl Pro, Bells Beach – Day Two

Bells Beach can be a real tasteless bowl of soup, depending on the time of day. It can also be real peppery. For round two (and the tiniest bit of round one) at the Rip Curl Pro today, many had to bounce like they had the hiccups. Some, however, found just what they needed (especially Yadin Nicol, who’s air-rev was probs better than any Stab‘s seen at Bells).
