With the worlds best set to do battle at one of the Asp World Tour’s premier locations, we get psyched to see some good surfing in equally good waves. Continue reading

Surfing Magazine’s Jimmicane but together a really nice pictorial of the last significant South swell we got in Southern California. Blake Jones joined the crew and got a few awesome pics below. Continue reading

WAY OF THE OCEAN is directed by Matt Kleiner and is a five part movie series exploring the worlds oceans and the surf they provide. Australia is the first film in the series set for release early 2011 and from the look of the trailer it looks like something shot by National Geographic. The imagery is awesome. Not to mention the lineup of surfers set to star in the film: Asher Pacey, Josh Kerr, Taj Burrow, Kelly Slater, Jordy Smith, Dane Reynolds, Craig Anderson, and Adam Robertson. Adam Robertson is who we most anticipate considering he has some clips ripping on some of the Chemistrys that Jason Bennett shaped for him this past summer. Looks like it could be a good one.

Chemistry team rider Blake Jones is giving me the opportunity to go to one of the most famous skins events of all time, Quiksilver’s King of the Peak. Blake claims this event is the best event to be a part of as well as watch. I’m a little skeptical of this claim and I honestly don’t give Florida the respect it deserves a lot of times when it comes down to waves, so he put his money where his mouth is and is flying me over to prove it. I’m looking forward to a little Southern hospitality and the company of the Jones family.

First of all, a big congratulations to Kelly Slater for winning stop #2 of the ASP World Tour, The Rip Curl Pro. Bells Beach remains one of the most iconic surf spots and ringing that Bell has to be one of the best feelings ever.

About his whole injury thing, I’m calling a bluff. I give credit where credit is due and Slater was absolutely ripping harder than I’ve seen him do in a while. He looked tack sharp and was super progressive. I was thinking he had lost a step watching him at Snapper this year. My claim is this: the apparent “injury” arrived shortly before his heat against Dusty Payne, (one of the most exciting surfers in the world, young, a rookie, etc…). If Kelly lost to Dusty there would be a bunch of crap circulating how Kelly is getting old, changing of the guard, he cant keep up with “this” new school, etc… So with the injury a loss would have warranted a “but he was hurt. On the other hand he is a hero, drama included. Also in one of his interviews he claimed the doctor found no broken bones and he thought that there were some tears in ligaments. In a later interview he claimed the doctor saw a break, or fracture, something. Same doctor? Who knows.
That’s it. My rant for the day. Slater is ripping! Check the vid.
