Photo: Jimmicane/SURFING Mick Fanning And Carissa Moore Win 2014 Rip Curl Pro Bells The Australian leg of the WCT, which started 53 days ago, finished off yesterday with the Rip Curl Pro Bells, as Carissa Moore and Mick Fanning were crowned women’s and men’s champions. Surfing Mag has the full report, which takes a look at the major contenders in the quarterfinals, semis, and who gave Mick and Carissa a run for their money in the finals. Brendan Buckley’s quick-witted wrap up awaits you here, plus 20+ photos from the event from Surfing’s Jimmicane. Here’s a few details to pique your interest: Round 5 — the pooor man’s quarterfinals — started us up, like the Rolling Stones said it would. And we never stopped. Not even once. Gabriel Medina: The still world number one lost to countryman Adriano de Souza and speculations that the two hate each other spiked to an all-time high. Still, must be nice holding onto that ratings lead going into your home country. Adam Melling: Melling lost to Kelly Slater. Or something like that. Jordy Smith: How fun is controversy? Not that fun, if you ask Jordy Smith. Jordy needed a 9.97 in the final breaths of his heat against Julian Wilson. He caught a wave and surfed it with the ferocity of an endangered polar bear…for a 9.93. The internet. Was. Pissed. Freddy Pataccchia: It’s a goofy eat goofy world out there and Fred got eaten by Owen Wright. And then came the real quarterfinals. Here’s who bit the dust… Adriano de Souza: Adriano had been dropping anvils all event, but he couldn’t drop one on Taj Burrow’s head — what a little roadrunner Taj is. Even though he lost, Adriano will be staying in Torquay and trying to grow his relationship with Bells so that he can be better next year. Given the mass exodus of everyone else and the fact that the next event is in Brazil, ADS deserves a standing ovation for this. Kelly Slater: John Johned him in one of the most anticipated, least delivering heats of the day…Kelly hasn’t been Kelly this year. Joel Parkinson: Julian beat Parko at Parko’s game. It was either a paradigm shift or a great day for Julian. You know, one or the other. Owen Wright: It’s a Mick Fanning eat goofy world out there and Owen got eaten
