The Gold Coast switched on just after the Australian leg was switched off due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and while we didn't get to see the word's best in jerseys, an all-start cast of visiting pros and local standouts was still on hand to make the most of the swells.
Now, Red Bull has dropped a gold-plated highlight package which captures the best bits from a recent run of swell that lit up the Gold Coast's premier breaks.
We get to see the usual cast of characters ripping at Snapper and some of the nearby beach breaks, but of note is a back-in-form Mikey Wright, some monster airs from Reef Heazlewood and Mick Fanning styling after a return from a knee injury.
