O'neills latest creation, now in stock in limited numbers........5212 limited edition
O'neill have launched another industry first, Techno Butter neoprene. This new material looks and feels amazing, first impressions prancing round the shop in the new suit are that it feels like a thinner suit. The 5212 suit is super light, super stretchy and feels warm too. It is definatly the next level in wetsuit material and i think we will be seeing it alot more in suits coming from O'neill.
This new 5212 suit is now in the shop and available in very limited numbers and also at a special price, RRP for this is normally £299, but they few i have in here are at an unbeatable price £200 while stocks last!!
Area 52 Designers combined O’Neill’s innovative styling with the latest in wetsuit technology to create a timeless and limited offering that caters to core surfers and watermen
Features:
The 52-12 Features O’Neill’s exclusive Techno butter material. This is the latest evolution of neoprene technology. It boasts a 17% lighter formula with 30% less water absorption therefore quicker drying, with more stretch and less weight.
70% of the core of both suits, come with the exclusive Air Insulated Techno Butter neoprene giving unparalled warmth.
It also features coloured 1X Super Seam Weld construction, another O’Neill first. The Super Seam Weld uses 60% less material than the previous fluid seam, resulting in the most super light, super strong and super durable seam ever offered.

Human Dolphin........this is pretty crazy........but looks fun
This guy has a bit too much time on his hands.....but i would still have a go. My only concern is the head first dives into the water without putting your hands out........how deep was it again?

Pipe masters kicks off in amazing conditions..........today will be even better.....
The pipe masters kicked off yesterday (last night our time) in some big and heavy conditions, one standout was Jon Jon Florence, scoring a Perfect 10, he is current leader of the Triple Crown and will be a hot favorite for the event as he grew up surfing Pipe.
With round 3 due to start today, 6pm our time, it will get very interesting as the top seeds from the ASP tour start their Hawaiian campaign.
Check out Jon Jon's fist heat here and then get logged in to watch later today:

The Pipe Masters presented by Billabong are coming...........starts thursday 8th December
The final tour stop for the 2011 season is upon us, and although the title has already been decided, the prospect of Big Pipeline and backdoor is getting me excited! The forcast at the moment is calling for a substantial swell hitting on the opening day of competition:
episode ONE from Sean Lesh on Vimeo.
The live broadcast of the event starts on the 8th December, this Thursday, but there is a time difference, 10hrs, so the live show will start from 7am their time so around 5pm our time. I think it will be well worth the watch, the worlds best competitive surfers going head to head in solid waves, also not forgetting the race for the Triple crown, which at the moment is being lead by Hawaiian son Jon Jon Florence, the wonder kid whose backyard is Pipeline!!
Here is a little clip taken on the first real swell to hit the North Shore this season.......enjoy
