The Other Event Nick Carroll Link copied to clipboard All photos by Swilly Yeah we all watched the heats. (Well, many of us at least.) We know who won, we know how they did it, and we know where they’ve gone — to the West, to face a totally different game.  But what happens in the water around a CT at a place like North Narrabeen? A lot of people surf brilliantly, jersey or no jersey, pro or local. It’s the event beyond the event. We asked photographer Simon Williams to record what he could of it all. Here’s some of that record, along with a few of Swilly’s thoughts:

Upsets at Rip Curl Narrabeen Classic Apr 19, 2021 World Champions Tyler Wright (AUS), Italo Ferreira (BRA, above), and John John Florence (HAW) were three of the top names eliminated from the event today as North Narrabeen provided clean, two-to-four foot waves all day. Johanne Defay (FRA) continues to impress on the Australian leg of the 2021 CT, and today it came at the expense of two-time WSL Champion Tyler Wright (AUS).

Monday, 19 April 2021 World champion Italo Ferreira of Brazil has been knocked out of the World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour event in Narrabeen in Australia after a controversial defeat to the United States' Conner Coffin. On a day with easier to read, smaller, more predictable waves, what was not predictable was Ferreira's early exit from the men's competition. Coffin's power-turns gave him the win against Ferreira's airs, leading to the Brazilian destroying his surfboard against a beach-side shower, followed by a stomp to split it in half in the athletes' locker room, in anger at th...

Champion Ferreira knocks out Fanning at World Surf League event in Narrabeen Sunday, 18 April 2021 Mick Fanning survived the elimination round only to be knocked out by Championship Tour leader Italo Ferreira later in the day as favourable conditions led to an abundance of action at the World Surf League (WSL) competition in Narrabeen. Australia' Fanning, a three-time Championship Tour winner returning as a wildcard for this leg, eased through the elimination round with more than double the two-wave score of compatriot Connor O'Leary, who was eliminated from their three-surfer heat. Brazil's...

So Day One Is Done - What Lies Ahead? Round one of the Rip Curl Newcastle Cup gives us an idea of how this thing’s going to run. You just know airs will feature here.

But for professional surfing, it was the opening day that so easily might not have happened.
