The 15-25 ft Tow Session today was incredible, check out the highlights from a very special day in surfing's history

breakdown on the live session... http://billabongpro.com/tahiti11/heat-analyzer-gb

or a 3 minute preview




big bad & heavy...

hoooly shit, huge but pretty messy/untidy too, that's probably why so many people were eating shit. Chopes just blows my mind every time I see it..

comp back on, live action here

yeah watchin' live now on Fuel TV
Towner insane yesterday
when you think how a 1 foot thick lip can bury you into a reef
imagine what an 8 foot thick lip can do!!

did you see that growler andy irons caught on the tow in day !?

ho damn !!



them tow in chargers ave' got an extra nut, no question...

not the ones here that use it to drop in at 3 ft
reckon Owen Wright earned the second 10 but I shouldn't care...fuck competition surfing.

Caught the end of this before, fucking monstrous....

Straight up, takes all the fun away

Just saw on your blog your a fellow bodyboarder! If your haven't, check out the IBA at chopes when Damien King wins in like 2003/2004, some real history there and some huge waves, probably the biggest IBA Tahiti event in terms of swell ever. I think it's on one of the early Tension vids from back in the day, massive stuff.

EDIT just found this pic of the riptide cover he got, barrel claim and all

hey finally some surfers on here
(ds must've really sold out )
yeah I remember that Chopes cos I ride lids too.

gotta admit Slater was having fun in the final
& even the freesurfers were giving up choice barrels

Slater rides the chopes like none other

sd5 What part of Sydney you from? what's your local wave?

grew up surfing Cronulla Point,the Island & Vooey
so crowded now I mainly surf Wanda, Windy & Wombarra.
You?

Shark Island? Jeez another terrifying slabby wave, wish I lived near some class waves like that. Good to see some more surfers/bodyboarders here!

Well I'm glad I didn't grow up surfing the North Sea finj.
What's the best wave you've ever had around your way?
(like locally, not Cornwall or France)

just a quick shout out to dean bowen, charging this thing at 19 years of age, went to school with the kid,

anyone see dean's wipeout at shipsterns? kid has some massive balls

Nice one, you surf suck rock much?

I'm up on the northern beaches, around mona vale / narrabeen area so just a few of the local reefs and beachies, nothing special but when I was super motivated I'd head up the central coast or down to the south coast for some real waves, not doing too much of that these days though.

@finji I can't begin to imagine how cold the north sea is Whats the surf like?

Yeah guys it get's stupidly cold here in winter, donning the 6mm wetsuit all year round.. Surf can be pretty good when there's a nice low pressure system and a storm near Norway. Classic waves like that are rare though really.. There's one good point break around here called Cayton Bay Point



Still Jealous of you guys up in Australia, It's not good for bodyboarding here because there's no real slabs, just kind of weak waves mostly.. That's why I want to check out western Ireland !

^nice inside suck, better than I thought you'd get conditions-wise

& I used to surf Suck Rock...
the right is a lovely tight backdoor barrel but everybody & his dog is on it nowdays
I'm happy to say I've had Little Av at 6' offshore to myself too!
Lived for a few years near Depot before the bombie got mobbed...
but I've still got a few secret spots down the coast.

LA without the locals Crowds are out of control in Sydney

That's a real nice area of coast down Bawley Point to Durras, plenty of quality in a relatively small patch of coast line
Funny how after Todd Barnes did Video with that first real big session at Depot everyone started going crazy for the wave, I only went out there once and I don't think I ever will again

It's been so long since I've been down, stinging for a quick run and gun to Mystics for some wedges

Sydney may not have dubstep but at least we have waves

next stop New York of all places !




comp starts real soon....
