Tofino was served up a massive dish of good times yet again at Cox Bay, as the Rip Curl Stew rolled in for the 4th annual competition and celebrations.

With a packed beach, amazing music under the Monster tent and a surprise VIP cameo by T.J. Schiller the Rip Curl Stew reached new heights. Something was in the air for Noah Cohen, Keegan Varney and Simon Bauer, as these athletes were feeling the wrath of some sort of virus (Noah & Keegan had just gotten back from a trip to Indo with no time to recover before the Stew) which put them out of the finals.

Despite their results, these phenoms earned high-scale kudos for putting forth strong effort through the turmoil and still surfing.
