Winki Pop Beach is next to Bells Beach in Victoria, Australia. Bells Beach is the first event of the World Surfing Tour. I spent many years growing up in this area, some 90kms from Melbourne. It takes 5 minutes by car from mum & dad's house to reach here.

Upon arriving to Jan Juc, some 90 km from Melbourne, the winds were as high as 120kmh. Two surfers found themselves caught on rocks early this morning so rescue helicopters, State Emergency Services, Police and the Fire Brigade came to their rescue. If you're in Australia you should watch chanel 7 news tonight, I will most likely appear for approximately 5 seconds :) Here are a couple of action snaps amidst the pandemonium...
