Full of confidence, Julian was throwing everything at the first section every time he took off. Nose picked, mid-rotation, one foot on the board... all control. Photo Trevor Moran
From dominating at Teahupo'o on Forget Me Nots, to throwing down some of the performances of the event so far at Trestles on his Air 17s, Jules' mid-year momentum looks unstoppable. Some of his go-to Air 17s in this new Lowers quiver are 6'0" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8" x 28.2, geared with his signature FCS template in large. Photo Ryan Miller

Same Jezza, same board, but twice the size of yesterday. It pays to have a good all-rounder! Monsta 6, 5'9 1/2" x 18 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 24.6L (he's 5'9" / 68kg). Photo Ryan Miller

While Fred rode a 6'2" Forget Me Not in almost everything at solid JBay, the range of conditions so far at Lowers have him reaching for the same Monsta 6 in his slightly thicker/wider shortboard dims - 6'0 1/2" x 19" x 2 7/16" x 28.7L (he's 6'1" / 81kg). Photo Ryan Miller
