There's no way Bells would be dropped so which of the other two makes more, or in this case less commercial sense?

It has too be margs which is a shame coz it's the only one that I like watching. Fat bells walls are boring and they rarely seem to score the goldy any good for the comp. Would love to see more action at the box don't know why they didn't at least hold it there on Friday arvo last week coz the footage on surfline of it was pretty insane

Man, they should drop Rio or move it to a better spot. Snapper has been average at best for the last three years, they wont drop Bells. good thing re MR it is the most constant swell wise

Interesting. I reckon they should give the surfers in the CT the option.

Drop Rio which is glorified close out at best and move the Bells and Margs contests around so they get more chance of swell...more days at Winki will make it better for the web cast as well

I'd like to see the WSl run similar to the Big Wave Tour. Longer waiting periods to guarantee running on a decent swell.

No doubt that since going commercial, sponsors like Samsung will be demanding growth every year. They don't give a **** about surfing, its all about expanding their market, reaching a larger target audience and subsequently increasing sales. Given the huge growth in popularity in Brazil, i wouldn't be surprised to see a second South American leg added to the tour in the near future.

Margies by far the most consistent wave but unfortunately commercial interests will dictate and they'll keep Bells and the Goldy
