Miguel Pupo delivered a career-defining performance, powering through a stacked field with elite backhand surfing to claim victory and move into the World No. 1 spot for the first time.
On the women’s side, Gabriella Bryan proved unstoppable. Her explosive power surfing saw her take down top contenders-including reigning World Champ Molly Picklum-to secure the Bell and reassert herself as a title threat.
With momentum building, all eyes now shift to Western Australia and the upcoming Margaret River Pro, a proving ground known for heavy water and high-performance surfing.
Can Pupo hold onto the yellow jersey?
Will Bryan continue her dominance at one of her favorite stops on tour?
