Get set for Bali

Last time the CT rolled into Bali, Parko was crowned King of Keramas including two 10 point rides along the way. Whatever happens this time around, you know it'll be entertaining. Photo WSL

With big turn sections and plenty of throaty tubes on offer throughout the waiting period, Joel was right in his comfort zone. Similar to the rest of the team back at Oakley's pumping 2013 event, Park rode an original Forget Me Not, while his current Bali quiver is full of the new FMNII, plus a range of fresh Monsta 8 all-rounders.

Joel's quiver, below (he's 6'0" / 83kg):

Julian stomped one of the manoeuvres of the event back in 2013, and since then, he's gone even bigger. Like Joel, Jules is riding an original FMN in his shortboard size here, and for 2018, he's got a range of new FMNIIs to go with a batch of Monsta 8s and his signature Air 17s. Photo WSL

Gearing up with possibly the best suited board for JW's mix of power and progression at Keramas - his Air 17. At 6'0" / 80kg, he rides 6'0" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8" x 28.2L. Photo Nate Lawrence

Last year's Wayward was a new high water mark for Julian and his best mate / filmer Jimmy Lees, with the Keramas section a clear centrepiece in a performance that won Jules Surfer Poll's "Best Performance" award for 2017. Several waves from the edit broke the internet thanks to ridiculously well-rounded clips everywhere from the Sunshine Coast to Cloudbreak, but none more than this giant alley-oop, landed at Bali's most rippable right hander on J-Dub's favourite Air 17.

Built specifically for the wave shape and power of Keramas, Julian's fresh batch of Monsta 8s are slightly more refined than his usual all-rounders, with less volume despite still sitting right on his regular dimensions - 6'0" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8" x 27L and 27.5L.

Like his Monsta 8s, the Forget Me Not 2s in Jules'  Bali quiver are tweaked to help with harnessing speed so he can go as big as possible whenever the right Keramas section is offered up:

6'0" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8" x 27.9L

Just like Jules, Owen's Bali quiver is more refined than the shortboards he's ridden so far this year. At 6'3" / 78kg, O's go-to Monsta 8s were 6'3" x 19" x 2 3/8" x 29.5L back at Snapper, but now with a few other adjustments along the way during the Aus leg, he's riding 6'3" x 18 3/4" x 2 5/16" x 28.5L.

One of the few goofies in the world who's not at a disadvantage on his backhand anywhere, whether he's pulling into caverns or looking for ramps. O, spinning into the wind just before opening day. Photo Trevor Moran
