COACH

HERE IS COACH ON A BOMB AT PIPE. THIS DAY WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND THICK!
IT WAS 10-12′ WITH BACK WASH, WARBLE AND WINDY! COACH GOT THIS ONE AND IT’S AMAZING THAT IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GLASSY AND SMOOTH. IF YOU LOOK GOOD IT REALLY THICK ALMOST LIKE TEAHUPOO. HE MADE THIS WAVE AND WAS HAPPY TO MAKE BACK TO SHORE IN ONE PIECE. COACH AND I ARE GOOD FRIENDS AND WHEN I WAS GROWING UP I LOOKED UP TO HIM AND HIS SURFING. THANKS COACH FOR TEACHING ME ALL THE SECRETS! ESPECIALLY YOUR SIGNATURE MOVE. THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN BY SEAN DAVEY PLEASE CHECK OUT HIS WEBSITE

MR.THOM


ALOHA
THIS IS MR THOM HE REALLY HELPS WITH MY BACK WHEN I HAVE PAIN. HE USES SOME SORT OF ANCIENT CHINESE MASSAGE AND MANIPULATES THE SPINE IN PLACE. HE OPENS UP THE MERIDIANS OR SOMETHING. ALL I KNOW THAT IT WORKS!

BULLY PULLING IN!





ALOHA IT’S SUMMER TIME FUN IN THE ISLANDS. THIS IS TEAM RIDER BULLY GETTING BARRELED AT A UNKNOWN SPOT ON THE SOUTH SIDE. HE IS ONE OF THE BEST TUBE RIDERS I KNOW, HE WOULD BE RANKED UP THERE WITH THE TOP PROS. BULLY HAS BEEN A REALLY GOOD FRIEND FOR MANY YEARS AND WE HAD MANY CLASSIC SESSIONS TOGETHER! PEOPLE THINK THAT THE SOUTH SWELLS ARE NOT POWERFUL, BUT CHECK OUT THE SPIT! THANKS BULLY FOR ALL THE EPICAL CLASSICAL SAGA TIMES!

MICK IN THE LEAD

MICK FANNING HAD A GREAT RUN YESTERDAY WINNING THE FINAL TILL THE LAST 30 SECONDS. ABOUT MID WAY THROUGH THE FINAL HE BROKE HIS BOARD AND THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE TURNING POINT. DAMIEN HOBGOOD BEAT MICK BY LESS THAN HALF A POINT. WE WERE STOKED THAT MICK DID SO WELL AND HE IS IN THE LEAD IN THE RATINGS. GO MICK!!!

AUSTRALIAN SHAPERS

GDAY MATES
THIS WAS TAKEN AT KIRRA POINT AT FARLEY’S. WE HAD BREAKFAST WITH THE LEGENDS. FROM LEFT IS JOHN CROSS WHO IS THE MAIN MAN BEHIND THE SCENES. NEXT MURRAY BURTON WHO SHAPED PIPE DREAMS FOR YEARS, DARREN HANDLEY WHO SHAPES DHD AND SIMON ANDERSON WHO INVENTED THE THRUSTER. THESE ARE REALLY GREAT GUYS AND IT WAS AN HONOR TO MEET THEM AND TO TALK STORY. THEY HAVE MADE BOARDS FOR MANY OF THE TOP PROS AND THEY HAVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE. I AM INSPIRED BY THESE GUYS! CHEERS!

SUNNY GARCIA

HELLO
I’M SO HAPPY FOR SUNNY THAT HE’S A FREEMAN AND SEEMS TO HAVE A NEW ZEST FOR LIFE. HE CALLED ME A FEW DAYS AFTER HE GOT OUT AND HE SOUNDED IN GOOD SPIRITS! I WAS REALLY HAPPY TO HEAR HIS VOICE AND THAT HE MADE IT THROUGH THAT TOUGH JOURNEY.

I HAVE KNOWN SUNNY FOR YEARS AND PEOPLE MAY KNOW HIM AS A TOUGH GUY AND HE IS, BUT PEOPLE DON’T SEE THE OTHER SIDE OF SUNNY. HE IS A FAMILY MAN FULL OF ALOHA. I CAN SEE HIS LOVE FOR HIS CHILDREN, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HE WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE TO STAND UP FOR HIS OHANA.

AS A SURFER HE HAS DONE A LOT IN HIS CAREER, WORLD CHAMP, 6 TIME TRIPLE CROWN CHAMP. HE IS THE GREATEST SURFER TO COME OUT OF HAWAII AND WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF THE HAWAIIAN! I WISH HIM THE BEST AND GOD’S BLESSINGS IN HIS LIFE!

MICK FANNING

GDAY MATE
THIS IS MICK AT TEAHUPOO GETTING READY FOR THE MAIN EVENT. HE IS LEADING THE RATINGS AT THE MOMENT AND THIS COULD BE HIS YEAR! WE HAVE BEEN MAKING HIS BOARDS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW AND HE HAS BEEN EXTREMELY VALUABLE FOR FEEDBACK. HE REALLY KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS AND IS DETAILED ON EVERY ASPECT OF BOARD DESIGN. THIS IS GREAT FOR ME AS A SHAPER TO IMPROVE ON BOARD DESIGN. I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THAT MICK HAS DONE!
RECENTLY REDBULL AND MICK LAUNCHED HIS WEBSITE. THE SITE HAS THINGS LIKE HIS JOURNAL THAT IS PRETTY COOL. CHECK OUT HIS GEAR AND HIT ON HIS SURFBOARD AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE IS RIDING. CHEERS
