Mark Occhilupo vs Tom Curren | Heritage Heat - Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach

The Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach was blessed with a Heritage Heat between legendary World Champs and rivals Mark Occhilupo and Tom Curren. Watch how the latest chapter played out.
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.

Curren and Occy have always been my surfing heroes since the 80s 🌊🤙🏽

[@artsurfliteratura]

Mine too

[@rubberducky9925]

I named my first cat Occy🤙🌊👍💯💪🦆💜

[@FromTheMosh]

Regardless of who won, the surfing done here was more entertaining than any of the heats of the actual event. Hopefully we see more of this in future 🙂

[@CENCAL491]

Regarding who won ,it was Curren .

[@FromTheMosh]

@@CENCAL491 Yep I agree haha

[@wcc1212]

Would be great to see a surf Senior Tour big champions competition 😊

[@Strik9]

Yeah, it'd be awesome! A Senior Legends surf competition fund raiser with more people ,in better waves, while there still able!

[@dennismull147]

All these men are still championship tour ready,not old men!

[@laurentpk]

Love these guys. Such a joy to see these 2 together yet again... ❤😊👍

[@markbaker42]

So grateful to get to watch this event!! Such legends and to me these blokes are STILL the best goofy and natural surfers of all time!!!!! Wouldn't have mattered who 'Won', just so great to see these frothers ripping like ever! I was lucky enough to see the 81 Bells with Simon on the original board in Mammoth Bells, and to win this replica board would be so frgn great. Being a natural footer and watching countless video of Tom Curren, man what a style master, and such a super humble guy. Love you both even if you were just posters on my wall and surfers to try and emaulate. So stoked for everyone who loves surfing!! Ring that Bell. Yeeewwwwh

[@Strik9]

Saw this happening and most agreed in the chat it was a flashback treat seeing these two icons, and with Rabbit commenting, doesn't get much better than this! The Bull & The Carver, legends of the 80s !!

[@rubberducky9925]

Cheers🍻🤙🌊💯💪

[@jamestew1463]

[@ariseaerial]

That was great. Cept the judging. Tom clearly won

[@williamhanley7031]

There is no way curren lost this heat. No way.

[@andredecaires2]

Wow! Them fellas still ripping! Great to see

[@WilliamPhelpsIII]

Occy and Pagey starred as the Aussies in the Universal film I directed, "North Shore". Only 21 at time, his huge talent and personality lit up the screen. Forever grateful, Oc. You still have the magic.

[@factsevidenceagainstmarxis4474]

North Shore will always be my favorite surf movie. I was on a waiting list when I heard it would be released on DVD with a bunch of extra features. Too bad a soundtrack was never released. The movie's music featured lots of amazing Aussie bands and other great classic tunes like Journey's Happy to Give... 🤙🏼

[@c.richardabbate742]

Just discovered it over the weekend after re-watching Matt Adler in White Water Summer. I’m not a surfer but really enjoyed how the movie created/captured the passion most surfers have for it. I work with a couple of white collar guys that surf and they are the only guys I know that can disappear from corporate life for a month long surf vacation lol.

[@rhondacoles2448]

i was sitting on the bald rock at rincon in 1985 when tom beat richard cram in 2ft surf metres away. never forget it even though it was small crappy surf i was captivated.

[@outlaw565]

Good show, congratulations to both Tom and Occy.

[@fords_nothere_100]

Excellent! Really support these specialty events/heats.

[@ZubairAkram-oy6nt]

Good to see both them again just like back in the day!!

[@bandahali5035]

[@user-tx4us7lj9m]

Great to see these two champions together...

[@beads7845]

This is the best thing I’ve seen in competitive surfing in a long time🌹🌹

[@waxhead63]

Occy in my mind has the best ever backhand bottom rail turn of all time , poetry in motion , definately classic old school surfing 👍👍🙏🙏

[@jonnyhawt8973]

I agree.

[@dangeraghty2000]

Classic surfers great to watch!

[@djizzah]

good to see the oldies, big score for one turn but it was a classic flashback to '86

[@levchefshow]

Always good to watch

[@user-se7rb2lr8b]

[@2HitWonder]

They need to do a masters event every year. The last one got more views than the WSL event at the time. If the WSL doesn’t want it, then someone else put it together.

[@johnsononey]

What !? I remember when Occy took Tom at the Op Pro back in the 1980s . I was a Curren fan but so stoked for Occy . That was a one of the best heats ever .
