    About this Image
    Mick Fanning, who first rung the bell at Bells Beach as a wildcard in 2001, was the in-form surfer of the event, consistently notching the highest single-wave scores and heat totals from Round 1 onwards. However, White Lightning was unable to overtake his Gold Coast sparring-partner Joel Parkinson in the final.
