US double as Cole Houshmand and Caitlin Simmers win Bells Beach surf titlesGriffin Colapinto and Johanne Defay beaten in finalsRookie Cole Houshmand and teenage sensation Caitlin Simmers have made it a southern Californian double, winning their maiden Rip Curl Pro titles on a dramatic finals day at Bells Beach.

But it was the 23-year-old Houshmand who emerged victorious on Wednesday, becoming only the third men’s goofy-footer this century to salute at the storied Bells break.“This is unreal; I honestly don’t think it’s going to sink in for a while,” Houshmand said. “I’ve been visualising this every day for the last two weeks, ringing that bell, and I guess it works. It’s been a lot of hard work. I’m speechless.

“I was thinking on my last wave that this could be it,” said Simmers, who replaces Defay at the top of the world rankings heading into the next round at Margaret River.
