Bells Beach began with a healthy surge of swell on Day 1 of action as we saw the men and women's Opening Round matchups, followed by the men's Elimination Round. Kelly Slater put it on rail to best John John Florence, reigning event champ Tyler Wright looked in-form, Gabriel Medina continues his tempo into stop No. 4 as he locks in the Round of 32, and the local wildcard Ellie Harrison upsets World No. 1 Molly Picklum in the Opening Round.
