Lazer Breathing Dragons | Stephanie Gilmore, Mason Ho & Tom Curren on #TheSearch | Rip Curl

8x World Champ Stephanie Gilmore has just completed her first trip on The Search since gracefully moonwalking away from the Championship Tour. Along with style icon Tom Curren and tube maestro Mason Ho, Steph embarked on The Search to explore a new pace for her surfing. Lazer Breathing Dragons is the result of that trip - a barrel full of laughs and a barrel full of barrels.

“All my life I’ve surfed with primarily one major purpose. To go fast with fierceness and style. That was my purpose,” says Steph about her approach to her career. “I don’t know what is next for me. I don’t know what is next for my surfing. But I’m very excited about it. That is my Search.”

Lazer Breathing Dragons takes cues from the wild fun of the 1980s – a decade when both Steph and Mason were born, and when Curren won his first two world titles. Rather than exploring brand new places, it’s about exploring a different mindset to competition and always pushing the limits of performance. There’s laybacks, cut downs, hair flicks, and streetside soup selling. There’s rodeos and monkeys. Take 15 minutes out of your day to escape to a different headspace.

Welcome back to The Search, Steph.

This is Lazer Breathing Dragons…

HIGHLIGHTS DAY 3 // Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach presented by Bonsoy

The world's best showed their true grit with buzzer-beater heroics from World No. 1 Molly Picklum, and Tatiana Weston-Webb. In-form Carissa Moore put the event on notice alongside eight-time World Champ Stephanie Gilmore, plus João Chianca nearly got his hands on the yellow leaders jersey but Matthew McGillivray had other plans.

Bells Beach means Australian surfing heritage. As one of the sport’s longest-running events, it’s an old-school test of power and rail-to-rail surfing for today’s progressive athletes. The deep history, combined with the pressure of the fast-approaching Mid-season Cut, makes getting a win and ringing “The Bell” one of the great honors in the sport.

Out Front: Santa Barbara

Lodged between the majestic Santa Ynez hills and the mighty Pacific Ocean, Santa Barbara County is a lot more than its marquee wave, Rincon, aka the “Queen of the Coast.” It also has about a half dozen other world-class righthand pointbreaks in its corduroy pockets — as well as numerous options just south. In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch at all to call SB the most powerful surfing kingdom in the continental United States (even without the “Surf City” moniker).
