After the heat finished Kelly slotted into this wave. Everyone in the competitors area thought it was a closeout. Most people stopped watching. Even the live camera stopped filming it. However, someone on the beach filmed it. Seriously this wave made everyone's jaws drop, it left half of the tour in the comp area speechless. Watch this!

Kelly Slater Wins Billabong Pro Tahiti 2011 It was possibly the best Teahupoo event ever. The waves turned on, the swell got massive and the conditions were perfect.

Bethany Hamilton is an inspiration to many. After losing her arm due to a shark attack she stayed true to what she loved and never gave up.

  Parko wins Bells on its 50th Anniversary (Photo: Kirstin ASP) Bells is often referred to as one of the most iconic waves in Australia. It has served as one of the longest running competitive breaks in the world. Many surfers have come to the Bells cliffs and looked out upon the corduroy ocean to see perfect waves lining up to the horizon. This same bells can serve up some of the coldest,

There’s a surfer I know a little too well called Pride, he goes by the nickname Ego. Ego has an attitude that says he’s more valuable than you because he rides waves better than you. This is simply his opinion of course. But he is so loud and spreads his opinion so strongly that most agree with him. Ego won’t talk to you unless you are almost as good as him. He will paddle around you and

The Quiksilver Pro at Snapper Rocks is a unique event to say the least. It is the only place where every diehard fan, spectator, punter and un-expecting beach goer can get so close to the action they almost become a hazard. At low tide the crowd of willing viewers can stand on the sandbank and watch surfers destroy waves and make the impossible look easy from only a few meters away. Ace

I recently read the book, "Save Me From Myself," the Brian 'Head' Welch story. This book is a heavy look into the world of drugs, fame and rock & roll. Now surfers are far from the hardcore rock and roll image that you see former Korn band member, Head representing. However, the world of fame and drugs is just as tempting for any surfer as it is to rock stars and celebrities. The pressure of

After a rare flat spell the waves picked up and the surfers have been pulling into some overhead barrels at the renowned backdoor at Banzai Pipeline. It has been a great day of seeing surfers compete and hanging out with some new friends. Although it has been a huge year for the tour, with the mid year cut-off from 45 surfers

The Rip Curl Pro Search, Somewhere in Puerto Rico has been possibly the most memorable event in history. Australian surfer Stephanie Gilmore won the women's event early in the week and clinched her 4th Consecutive World Title. Then the surfing world was rocked with the news that 3 times world champion Andy Irons had passed away on his way home from the event due to illness. The contest was

After driving down the same street for the 15th time in a tropical storm I started contemplating sleeping in the car. I had just flown in to San Juan from Australia with to connecting flights in

This is the highest paying contest on the Tour with $105 000 for first place. The contest was a huge success with near perfect waves at Lowers and some of the best surfing seen with the highly anticipated 36 man format. Kelly Slater carved his way to

Story Time Under a Tahiti Sunset After two days of competition the sunsets once again on an amazing day of surfing. However, the Billabong Pro Tahiti 2010 marks the turning point for some of the Pro Surfers careers. The tour is been cut from 45 surfers to 32 after this contest. With round 3 almost over there are already 12 of the 13 surfers who have been eliminated from the world tour. As

The Billabong Pro J-Bay 2010 is over and as the scaffolding is packed down and Jeffrey's Bay goes back to the sleepy surf town it is known as. I sit and reflect on the 4 day roller coaster I have been on here in South Africa.

Lize and I will be taking off to Jeffery's Bay South Africa on the 14th July. We will be spending the duration of the contest with the local Christian Surfers (Son Surf) and staying with National Director Roy Harley and his family. This contest is highly anticipated as it is held at one of the best point breaks in the world and is going to really test the surfers and their abilities at this

Abe Andrews is enjoying his 2nd year on the Dream Tour. Considering he failed to earn any rating points in his first year, he might consider himself fortunate. He does.  It's not his ability to surf (which he does well), but his ability to serve that sees Abe in the water alongside the world's best, at some of the most iconic and consequential breaks around the globe, albeit not in heats, and
