The second day on the Gold Coast and the crew prepares for an amazing day with future world champion Joel Parkinson.

After, the crew headed to Duranbah for what has been hailed as one of the greatest surf contests in history; The Occy Challenge. Consisting of two waves on the famous board Occy won the OP Pro on in the 80's, the winner would receive a case of Corona's. Tune-in to see who won and who got drunk...
