Bells Beach plays a big role in surfing’s story. As the longest-running event on tour, the air is thick with history. “It is a proving ground,” the World Surf League wrote. “An unforgiving lineup that tests the endurance, power, and fundamental rail-to-rail surfing of today’s progressive athletes.”
