With Hells Bells blaring from the speakers across the Bells Beach surfing reserve, all eyes were on Current ASP World No. 1 Joel Parkinson and local Victorian Wildcard Adam Robertson as they descended the famous Bells stairs and took the water for the Final. The all-Aussie matchup was an awesome battle, but Parko was just too good and rode away with the win and his second Bell trophy.
