The first day of the Billabong Pro went off today in pretty amazing surf, but before we get lost in contest minutiae, a little free surfing montage courtesy of video man Chris Steblay. Earlier in the year he was down in Western Australia for the better part of a month, and as you'll see, he captured some pretty amazing moments with Yadin Nicol, Sea Bass, Dylan Graves, Austin Ware, and a host of others. Enjoy the ride.
