Rivals

Rivals is back for a third season. Eight of Australia's surfing all-stars battle it out in a unique contest. Each returns to their hometown where they make the rules and the call on when to start the clock.

Will Jacob Willcox score in the West?

Can Reef punt his way to a Rivals win?

Snapper Rocks is an iconic Gold Coast surf spot. It's famous for its throaty, sand-bottom barrels, back-chat and drop-ins. Does Sheldon Simkus have the grit and timing to navigate both conditions and crowd to lock in a super Snapper session and out-perform his Rivals? 

The OG Byron Bae, Soli Bailey is known for his competitive fire. But can he handle the heat when the call of the day is left to him? Can he curate the perfect combo of conditions to out surf his Rivals?

Injury has plagued Matt Banting's competitive surfing career but his power moves and patience could be the secret weapon for the Port Macquarie local this season in Rivals.

Looking more at home on the footy field or a viking set, Wade Carmichael puts the pedal to the metal in this season of Rivals. Avoca beach has produced multiple world-class surfers and Wade wants his name on that list of legends.

North Narrabeen is known for its world-class waves and competitive surfing mongrel. With a long line of surfing greats Jordy Lawler is hungry to create his own legacy. Could it be set with a Rivals crown?  

Hailing from Stanwell Park, NSW Kalani Ball has a unique combination of beach and reef breaks in his local area. The Rivals format will put his formidable forecasting to the test. When he pulls the trigger will it all come together in his favour?
