Mick Fanning takes the title - apparently plain vanilla lightning strikes twice
With a tip of his hat to mate and co-title chaser, Joel Parkinson, Mick Fanning has securely locked in his second World Title. Protein cafes and weightrooms everywhere sung out in chorus, while I hung my head in angst. Maybe it’s because I’m not Australian, or perhaps because I’m not a fan of robots, but [...]
Pipeline pre-quarters recap - Who’s out, who’s off & who’s still going
After a few exciting days of competition at the 2009 Billabong Pipeline Masters, we’ve crowned our 2009 World Champ (Mick Fanning), closed in on our 2009 Vans Triple Crown Champ (CJ Hobgood or Joel Parkinson), finalized our rookie rankings (seeing Kekoa Bacalso at the head of the 2009 pack), and seen a huge number of [...]
Joel Parkinson wins the 2009 O’Neill World Cup of Surfing
Joel Parkinson took home the win on Sunday at Sunset Beach on the final day of the 2009 O’Neill World Cup of Surfing, the second event in the 2009 Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. Though, the win doesn’t put him any closer to winning his much deserved World Title, it does put him in a [...]
Wipeouts Anyone?
Not usually into this sort of music, but this one’s kinda catchy and really makes the vid work for me. “The Ride” at the end is my fantasy third reef Pipeline ride of all rides.

Absolutely Brutal Pipeline Beatdown Vid.
It’s hard not to laugh, but I commend these guys for having the beanbag to be out there. The pounding at about the 51 second mark gives me the chills.
-P.K.
Keep Leucadia Funky
Skimboarding is way cooler than rollerblading, but still that same kind of comparison up against surfing and skateboarding
This is George Bryan, he’s an X-Trak skim team rider, and this is a recent Banzai Pipeline type shot at The Wedge. Only his inside arm isn’t raised up gliding the roof of the barrel with his fingertips, and he’s not standing straight up with a slight arch in his back. But he is on [...]
Before & After Pipeline slam with Hank Gaskell
Getting body slammed on the reef at Pipeline is no joke. Just ask Hank! That sounded kind of funny. “Just Ask Hank” sounds like an advice column…
“Dear Hank,
What’s it like to hit the reef at Pipeline?
-Some Mainland kook”
If Hank was answering this fictional question I’m sure he would say the good out-weighs the bad. For [...]
Jamie O’Brien schools Red Bull First Person winner
This is a video of Jamie O’Brien having to follow through with sponsor obligations, and by obligations I mean hanging out with contest winning kooks. Florida State college student, Dustin Schumacher, won the Red Bull “First Person” contest earning him a free trip to Hawaii, and a couple surfing lessons with none other than Pipeline [...]
