Rip Curl Pro @ Bells Beach Update




So far, Taylor has had a pretty good run at Bells. If you can call 1 heat win a good "run" that is. So far, he's won his Round 1 heat and now faces Brazilian Neco Padaratz in Round 3. Taylor has a pretty good record against Padaratz in his career, but if the surf drops below 3 feet, Neco could be in his element. Luckily, there is a pretty good swell forecast for the rest of the event.

Looking ahead after Round 3, there is the possibility that Taylor could come up against Joel Parkinson again in Round 4. If you remember - Joel Beat Taylor at event #1 at Snapper Rocks.

But beyond Round 4, Taylor would definitely have his work cut out for him. He could potentially face Joel Parkinson in Round 4, Bede Durbidge in the Quarterfinals, and Mick Fanning in the Semifinals before taking on whatever superstar makes it through from the other half of the draw.

It's going to be a tough road, but you know Taylor's down for the job.
