Joe Engel's win at the 1983 Rip Curl Bells Beach Pro

8 Jun 2017 by Amy Fennell

1983 saw Joe Engel take out the Rip Curl Bells Beach Pro over USA’s Wes Laine.

Surfing his way through all the trials & main event, this was a moment only rivalled by a small handful.

Joe’s only sponsor at the time was Dick Van Straalen, his shaper. It was an amazing time in surfing history.

And of course we all look forward to seeing everyone at Burleigh Point on Sunday for the Joe Engel Junior Cup – named in his honour.

Come down and support those groms chosen to represent their clubs from North End, Burleigh, MNM and Kirra.
