For Immediate Release:


Bells Beach, VIC/AUS (Tuesday 20th March 2018): This weekend will see the top Victorian Surfers battle it out for a spot in the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach as part of the Visit Victoria Trials.
 
As part of the Victorian Government’s commitment to Victorian surfers, the Visit Victoria Trials offers a wildcard into the main event for one male surfer with a combined Victoria and Rip Curl Trials for the women.
 
“The Visit Victoria trials is an integral part of our development pathway” said Surfing Victoria CEO, Adam Robertson.
 
“It ensures that our junior surfers get a chance to surf at Bells Beach but also provides a platform for our more experienced competitors to get a shot in the main draw.”
 
“Having a dedicated Victorian wildcard is something we are all very proud of and I can’t wait to see who gets the chance to compete against the worlds best this year.”
 
The singular female wildcard is determined by a heat including 2x Rip Curl surfers and 1x Victorian surfer.
 
The two male wildcards are allocated to Rip Curl and the Visit Victoria Trials.
 
Notable Victorian surfers competing across the two days includes former trials winners Tim Stevenson (Jan Juc), Jack Perry (Jan Juc), Cahill Bell-Warren (Bells Beach), Glyndyn Ringrose (Phillip Island) and Zoe Clarke (Jan Juc) along with Qualifying Series competitors Billy Harrison (Barwon Heads), Xavier Huxtable (Jan Juc), India Robinson (Jan Juc) and Sophie Fletcher (Phillip Island).
 
Competition will begin on Sunday at Bells Beach with a call to be made at 7:30am.
 
Heat Draws and live scores will be available at www.liveheats.com/surfingvictorialater in the week.
 
The Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach can be watched online at www.worldsurfleague.com
 
The Visit Victoria Trials is presented by the Victorian Government and supported by the World Surf League, Surfing Victoria and Rip Curl.
