RCP ON THE ROAD TO 13th BEACH
Due to lack of swell at Bells the Rip Curl Pro relocated to 13th Beach. The swell kicked throughout the day and conditions varied on the incoming tide.
1976 was the last time the Rip Curl Pro was moved to 13th due to lack of swell.
That year Hawaii's Jeff Hackman won the event.
The main contest bank (photo taken mid 2009) RCP day wasn't quite as good, but still bangable.
Judging was setup on the back of a semi.
Wilko punting for a win over Dingo. Would go down to Taj next day at Winki.
Photogs all trying to get the money shot.
The road to Beacon.

AC-DC AT THE 2010 RIP CURL PRO
The Rip Curl Pro event at Bells, every Easter is a major production. The site starts to go up three weeks before the event starting date.
There are around 200 people that work on, or in and around the event that keep the wheels turning.
This blog looks a the roll of sound engineer Jenny Moon of "MOON MOTHER PRODUCTIONS".
At the Rip Curl Pro, Jenny is responsible for all things sound for the Bells and Winkipop site, and also if the event goes mobile.
Jenny is no stranger to big productions and has a hands on role keeping the event live, with general communications, web and live music. Jenny's credits include, concerts for Blink 182, Iggy Pop, Pennywise, Blondie, John Butler Trio, and events the likes of, The Falls Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival and Big Day Out, just to name a few.
An interesting piece of equipment in Jenny's arsenal is a big PA used to relay information to competitors in the the water, affectionally named "ANGUS" a named given to it by Rip Curl's International Marketing Manager - Neil Ridgway.
"ANGUS" is a Altec Lansing multicell horn PA that once belonged to, none other than AC-DC!
Take my word for it this piece of equipment is capable taking your head clean off your shoulders if you tried to stand in front of it while it was operating. Now here's the thing, AC-DC used 2 of these suckers ontop of stacks each side of the stage for pub gigs! My ears are ringing just writing about it... will someone answer the bloody phone!
In what has become tradition at the Rip Curl Pro since the release of AC-DC's album "BACK IN BLACK" in '95, "HELLS BELLS" the first track on the album is blasted out from "ANGUS" each morning, to appease the Swell Gods.
Jenny Moon - at the controls.
Proud mum and Angus
