Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, Event #1 of the Men's World Championship Tour, runs March 1st - 12th based at Snapper Rocks. Adam Melling will be hoping to improve on his great result from last year when he finished 9th. Mello surfs in Ht6 vs Mick and Dane. Good luck mate.
Update March 2nd
Mello was ripping today but a couple of stumbles relegated him to round 2 vs Wilko.
Update March 4th
A great heat for Mello today starting with a 8.17 backed up by a 4.77 and enough to hold on for the win. He surfs next in Ht4 vs CJ in round 3.

Update March 10th
Sometimes a heat has plenty of sets and sometimes not. Unfortunately Mello had a heat when the ocean went quiet today. It turned into a low scoring affair and C.J was genuinely suprised that he had won it. Adam finished 13th and now looks ahead to W.A and the restored CT event at Margs.
