Owen Wright Surfs Cold Bells Beach to “Warm Up” For J-Bay

Aussie surfer Owen Wright had to switch major gears from the warm tropics of Fiji, where he won last month’s Fiji Pro, with two 20-point heats, to tackle the foreboding winter cold of Bells Beach in South Australia, which is gripped in mid-winter cold.

Like Bells, South Africa’s Jeffrey’s Bay is a long right-hand point break, blessed with cold water and lots of sharks, so it’s the perfect spot to do some wetsuit testing for Rip Curl and practice his backhand attack.

Onya mate!
