After over 20 years, Bondi welcomes the world's best surfers again, notably ninefold world champion Kelly Slater, who teams up in the first event with has-been Kerrbox, whose board is soaped up by an anonymous prankster. Whippet fails to qualify by bad luck, Kobi gets in. Others remain on rescue duty during the events, next being an 'airial', surf jumps.
