Bell-Warren surfed four to five foot swell to a heat total of 15 (out of 20) narrowly ousting Torquay’s Harry Mann on 14.90 points.
“It feels special to go back to back at Phillip Island in fun conditions and get the chance to surf the final with a some of my best mates,” he said.
Bell-Warren will compete for the state title at his home break of Bells Beach to win a seven-day boat trip to the Maldives.
“I have won the Bells Beach round five times now, so I feel comfortable competing there and am hoping to get another win to claim that trip to the Maldives.”
Jan Juc’s Jack Perry placed fourth on 13.16 point. Jan Juc junior Bella Wilson placed second in the women’s open division on 8.36 points.
The final round of the Victorian Open Series will come to Bells Beach on 2 September.
