Chris Davidson’s public sponsor scolding
By: ASP Addict, November 20, 2008, 5:32 am
Australia's Chris Davidson, former World Tour surfer a few times over and the World Qualifying Series number two guy right now, is just months away from yet another go at the ASP World Tour. While Chris has shown absolute moments of brilliance in the water this year, with his ability to dominate the field, he's shown less than brilliance outside of the water. Following in the footsteps of other top notch surfers who like to make their sponsors look bad, Chris recently has been infected with a serious case of ... Read More to Continue Surfing
The Google Surfboard - Just when you thought surfing was safe from Google
By: Surfing HQ, November 20, 2008, 5:00 am
Google. It's everywhere. It's the tool that helps you surf the net and find great sites like DailyStoke.com (hehehe) but it also helps you find webcams and surf reports. That said, to date, Google has not invaded the surfing world. That day has come, the the first ever Google surfboard. Now, we suspect some of the folks at Google's offices in Mountain View and Newport and Santa Monica surf. In fact, we'd be that more than a few of these geeks engineers probablly shred. That said, the Google surfboard towers above ... Read More to Continue Surfing
Wow. This sucks big time. It’s like getting slammed at the Wedge
By: Surfing HQ, November 20, 2008, 5:00 am
Wow. Bodyboarding can be really, really cool, and there's even The Wedge, a surf break made especially for spongers. This guy, however, really gets it. And it's just a really, really shitty situation. Check out the vid. It also reminds me of this sponger taking it for the team. Courtesy of Surf Nation. Read More to Continue Surfing
Curren vs. Occy - flashback to 1986
By: ASP Addict, November 20, 2008, 5:00 am
The year was 1986. Pro surfing was at its peak, having survived the wild 70's. Surf competitions had evolved into major entertainment venues, where the world's best would face off against one another in mostly city beach settings. The setting was Bells Beach, Australia. Tom Curren was the reigning World Champ, having taken the title in 1985, the first of his three world titles. Mark Occhilupo was a brash young upstart, from the Sydney suburb of Cronulla who was just a few years on ... Read More to Continue Surfing
Reef Hawaiian Pro - live on Thursday!
By: ASP Addict, November 19, 2008, 6:15 pm
After a few days of playing the waiting game, the Reef Hawaiian Pro is expected to go live on Thursday morning. The new northwest groundswell should be showing by daybreak, meaning we're likely to see the first heat in the water at 8:00 am local time. Some sizable waves should pump through throughout the day, making a perfect venue for the later heats of this first event of the 2008 Van's Triple Crown of Surfing.
I'm betting on the men's event getting the go ahead, as the conditions will fluctuate very ... Read More to Continue Surfing
Chris Davidson - back on tour after all these years
By: ASP Addict, November 19, 2008, 5:01 am
Chris Davidson will be celebrating his 10th anniversary of his rookie year on the World Tour when he starts out as a highly ranked WQS transfer in 2009. Chris's rookie year on the World Tour was back in 1999, the year his fellow countryman and mate, Mark Occhilupo, took the World Title in one of professional sport's most amazing comeback stories ever. In 1999, Chris finished in 43rd place, falling off tour after his freshman effort. He won his way back on tour again in 2001, only to finish at number ... Read More to Continue Surfing
Home Depot Surfboard Shaping Project - Part 3
By: Garage Shaper, November 19, 2008, 5:00 am
After wondering the aisles of Home Depot aimlessly, I finally thought of a solution for the structural weakness of my blank. I bought a thin sheet of mahogany luan (fancy plywood). I went home and traced the shape of the board onto the plywood; I followed this step by minimizing the entire perimeter of the plywood outline by 1 1/4”. I then cut out the shape with a jig saw and faired the rough edges with some sand paper.
The wood deck pad fit like a dream, leaving a ... Read More to Continue Surfing
Women’s Pants!
By: Surfing HQ, November 19, 2008, 4:59 am
I was graciously informed today that Becker Surf is selling Women's Pants! At 20% Off! Now, I may be a bit kooky, but I sure don't need women's pants! I know - I know - you're wondering how I got on Becker's mailing list for women's pants. Seems to me they might be lacking some precision in their marketing, ya know? That said, I think it worked anyway, because I forwarded the email to Hot Wahine and Julia is Stoked... :) Read More to Continue Surfing
Montreal River Surfing - or - a few good reasons to move north
By: ASP Addict, November 18, 2008, 5:33 am
When we think of Montreal, we think of a little bit of France in Canada. You have the European flair, the Canadian politics, the French cuisine, the Euro discotechs, the old world architecture, the French snootiness... What we don't think of when thinking of Montreal is river waves that rival some of the contest waves one would see on the World Qualifying Series. Oh... and chicks in bikinis, surfing said river waves. It's not always about surfing perfect waves in tropical locations. Sometimes it's just dealing with what ... Read More to Continue Surfing
Reef Hawaiian Pro - Monday lay day
By: ASP Addict, November 18, 2008, 5:12 am
The WQS 6 Star Prime Reef Hawaiian Pro and the women's WQS 6 Star Reef Hawaiian Pro contests went on hold again Monday as another lay day was called. Small surf continued throughout the day on Monday as the contestants sit in waiting for the swell that is expected in the latter part of this week. Forcasts are calling for the swell to continue to diminish over the next couple of days, then rapidly fill in with a new NNW groundswell showing on Thursday. Friday may see an even bigger ...
