THE finals of the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach have been set, and it’s an all-Australian affair in both the men’s and women’s field.

Australian powerhouse Ethan Ewing and goofy-footed dynamo Ryan Callinan are set to take to the water in chasing their first Bell on the men’s side of the draw.

Ewing booked his spot in the final by dismantling 2022 event winner Filipe Toledo in his sem-ifinal matchup, while Callinan defeated 2019 Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach winner John John Florence to make his first Championship Tour final since the Quiksilver Pro France in 2018.

On the women’s side, world no. 1 Molly Picklum punched her ticket to the final with a clutch win over fellow Australian Isabella Nichols, while defending champion Tyler Wright was victorious over eight-time world titleholder Stephanie Gilmore in the second semi-final.
