George Pittar just ate three Brazilian world champions for breakfast and Lakey Peterson reminded everyone she’s still got it — and most importantly Tbekr went absolutely nuclear.
The Event Winner: Tbekr
Dead last after Bells to the top of the leaderboard for this event with a strongn 576.72 points. Tbekr’s smart power surfers were the difference maker as Gabe and Caity led all the other popular picks.
New World Number One: Zeeback
Zeeback not so quietly took the overall lead amassing 1,112.94 season points and looking good to take the Aussie Treble. STELLATO dropped to second after a quieter Margaret River. The yellow jersey has changed hands. Zeeback, enjoy it while it lasts.
Biggest Movers
King of Kookdom had the move of the event, climbing from #36 to #14 overall — a 22-spot swing. Ol Shreddy wasn’t far behind, jumping 20 spots from #40 to #20. CaptainBanks came in swinging too, up 13 spots to #25. These three were clearly loading heavy hitters for West Oz and it paid off.
GoodLuck Update
The show ranked #13 for the event and climbed from #25 to #13 overall with help from a 2x Carissa Moore.
The Bottom
Sticks, FloriDuhMan, thecaboose — y’all need to do some serious reflection before the Gold Coast. Snapper Rocks rewards very different surfers from the Margaret River mush so an opportunity for us all to reshuffle.
Next stop: Gold Coast Pro at Snapper Rocks, May 1–11. Fast, punchy, and built for aerial mayhem. Fantasy preview dropping this week. 🤙
