One of the many beautiful things about surfing as a professional sport is that even the best in the world can't completely steal the show. Unlike any other sport, every stop on the tour is the real main attraction itself. Just like the most die hard baseball fan has a visit to Wrigley field on their bucket list, the World Tour 11-month itinerary reads the same to just about every surfer worldwide. And Bells seems like the perfect time to start spotlighting the weird, the great, and sometimes just flat out random tidbits that make it worthy of a visit from the WSL year in and year out. Mark Richards once called the right breaking reef the most overrated wave in the world, especially with nearby Winkipop spitting out barrel after barrel just down the road. But culture and tradition can add their own intrigue to the top 34's visit, so here are five random facts to brush up on Bells before the first round:

1. Bells Beach is home to the longest running surf contest.
Since 1961, fans and surfers have gathered here, originally for the Bells Beach Surf Classic. Then in 1973, Rip Curl put up the prize money the make it Australia's first ever professional competition, evolving into what we know now as the Rip Curl Pro Surf & Music Festival.

2. Somebody hired a bulldozer to clear a road so surfers could have easier access to the wave.
That someone was named Joe Sweeney, along with other Torquay surfers who wanted to cut down on their pain in the ass trek down the steep cliffs surrounding the beach. Once the road was established and surfers started showing up in droves, Sweeney's entrepreneurial savvy kicked in and he charged one pound to each surfer so he could recover his expenses.

3. The same guy also designed surfing's most famous trophy.
Sweeney created our sport's version of Lord Stanley's Cup, with the winner of each year's contest ringing The Bell while also adding their name to trophy. It's a list that reads like a Surf History AP textbook itself: Kelly, Occy, Sunny Garcia, Tom Curren, Tom Carroll, Mark Richards, and Simon Anderson...just to name a few.

4. Goofy footers don't have a chance.
There are currently only five surfers on tour with wins at Bells: Kelly Slater (4), Mick Fanning (3), Joel Parkinson (3), Adriano De Souza (1) and Taj Burrow (1). What do they all have in common? Their stance. Regular-foot surfers are so dominant at Bells that no goofy footer has won the contest since Occy rang The Bell in '98. In fact, since Occy's win, only two goofy footers have even made a final: Falvio Padaratz in 2000 and Nat Young in 2013. Young's appearance wasn't so much a Hail Mary as you'd think though, considering his home break Steamer Lane has put Nat on his backside his entire life. So basically, put your money on another regular-foot this year.

5. Point Break's 50-year-storm didn't actually take place at Bells Beach.
It's how we're all supposed to go down, right? Just like Bodhi, you're finally cornered by the feds. Johnny Utah's been hot on your trail. He came across an unclaimed piece of meat in Baja that turned out to be Rosie. Guess he picked a knife fight with somebody better. He missed you by about a week in Fiji. Now, with the 50 year storm puking waves onto the shores of Bells, you're stuck in cuffs and a spring suit, looking to face life in a cage. No! So you plead for one last wave before the endless summer is over. Only you're never coming back... yeah, that was actually filmed in Oregon.

As early as 1939 surfers from the Torquay SLSC were travelling to Bells Beach because of its excellent waves.It is named after John Cavert Bell of the family that first took up a pastoral run there in the 1840s.

Surfing- they want to come to surf and they have surf competitions such as Ripcurl Pro and many others. Bells is a world class sight when above 1.5meters. When smaller, the waves break close in to the headland and produce a right called Rincon. Further around the head are two more reef breaks which work below 2meters , called Centre Side (a right) and Southside (a left).

Tourist- they find out the spot is famous and they come to relax and see surfing and also relives stress. One of the meccas of surfing and well worth a visit, if only to view the beach and surf from the car park.

Fishers-  there are many species of fish to catch. The water is deep right off the beach, while at low tide you can fish from the reefs at each end.
