No Contest Heads to J-Bay

Jacob Wooden stays on the No Contest trail and takes us inside the J-Bay Pro

The hype machine was smoking. Mick returned to J-Bay, despite being attacked here by a great white last year. The surf media had never really stopped talking about it, and the mainstream media was eager to dredge up the terrifying memories once again. As to be expected, Mick, Julian, Jordy and the rest of the boys paddled out and commenced their usual ripping.
Though they made it seem like an easy return, we knew better. There were nerves just under the surface, and there was no way Jacob Wooden wasn't going to be there to capture it all for No Contest
Go behind-the-scenes at the year's most anticipated event here in Episode 1.
Mick discusses his return to the now infamous South African righthander, and, of course, the very best surfing on the planet goes down. Don't miss it!
