Surfing Victoria CEO and former pro surfer Adam Robertson joins the podcast to talk about the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach being held at his home break. He dives into the different parts and peaks of the iconic spot, lists his favorite Bells surfers, and makes his predictions for standout performers in the event. He breaks down his own competitive career, his amazing 2nd place finish as a wildcard at Bells in 2009, surfing for Australia in the ISA World Junior Championships, and his memorable time on the Qualifying Series. He talks in depth about Surfing Victoria, the positive power of surfing, and how their programs work to get more women into the sport, support equality in the lineup, teach surfers ocean safety, and promote surfing and water safety to indigenous youth around Victoria. Adam also touches on surf coaching, some of the elite young local talent aiming for the Championship Tour, his favorite surf movies, and his very unique prizes for winning the O'Neill Coldwater Classic in Scotland.
