Boys Still On Hold At Bells

It's been a long slog for the men at the Rip Curl Pro, and pumping swell hasn't exactly been the norm. But coming off of a big win at the Cold Water Classic in Tasmania, it would appear that Jordy Smith is definitely eager to continue the roll. And then there's Mr. Mick Fanning, who has yet to surf a heat, but given his record at Bells, won't have much of an issue firing the engine up once things get started again. Michel Bourez will be tested in his Round 2 heat as he goes up against Joel Parkinson, Tim Boal's matched up against Bobby Martinez, and Adriano De Souza should make short work out of rookie Drew Courtney. There's a week left in the waiting period and it's looking like there's definitely some signs of swell on the horizon. Stay tuned...
