The Billabong Pro Rio starts today.....

The 3rd stop of the world tour starts today in Rio, forcast is looking good for waves and judging by the way the brazilians were surfing at the lowers pro, i think it could be very exciting. If you haven't got your Fantasy Surfer team sorted......then its a bit late now. Kelly Slater has withdrawn from the comp, he sustained a heel injury in Java, which re-opened itself in Cloudbreak and became infected ( tough life ), he has tried surfing on it but can only go straight, sounds like my best day in the water! Anyway, watch it all go down live at http://wctbrasil.com/rio12/live-gb the time difference means it will kick off our time around 11am everyday till the 15th.......

Jonty Green Killing it......

One of my favorite riders in the UK, Jonty Green, seen here killing it at box end park on the O'brien Funbox. Seems only yesterday we were sat in Trigs boat at his parents place and we used Jonty Green and Marc Rossiter as ballast for his boat, both grommits at the time and if i remember rightly, jonty had a broken leg and Rossi had a broken arm, it was raining, but they were stoked just to get in the boat and watch Trig, Hitch, Nott and Craig O'mera ride..........those were the days, going back to my pipe and slippers now............

Customised suit for Llywelyn..........

Well its finally here, Llywelyn has ben waiting for this suit for a month or so now, the first prototype from o'neill had a slight correction to be made, they had done the wrong leg!! But thanks to O'neill and in particular Mr Craig, we now have the first modified suit for Llywelyn. So combined with his new board (the woods 5'0"), he will now be back in the lineup on a regular basis!!

JS launch another amazing looking board......the Pier Pony

JS has developed another small wave wonder board, this time for the real small mushy weak waves, basically what we surf most of the time! you can read about it on the js website here http://www.jsindustries.com/surfboards-v2/pier-pony#lowdown-tab

made to be ridden really short, it is a super wide plan shape, plenty of clever concaves and a load of volume, should be available here just in time for the summer time, perfect!

Life is better in boardshorts.........i agree

Life is definatly better in boardshorts......warmer, easier to move around, and quicker to get changed into before a surf.
Unlike here and now, where we have to get into a tonne of rubber and surf like robots with rusty joints, roll on the spring i say!

British Wave Garden? ............. initial plans revealed....

This is the prliminary plan for the Wave Garden near Bristol. The whole project still relies heavily on massive investment and also the local councils passing the plans, but fingers crossed they may be an artificail wave in the UK soon (other than the flowriders).

The people behind the wave garden concept are based in the basque country and have already begun to make a newer version of what they built, bigger, longer and also open to the public, so watch the latest clip below, and the future of surfing starts at about 1:14 in the clip, amazing

Board eats board......?

This has got to be one of the craziest things i have seen for a while, as it has been said, Machado could probably surf a door better than most people can surf a normal board. Either way i like the concept.....

Ever wondered what the different tail shapes on boards are for?.......

Here are some words from a legendary shaper......Wade Tokoro:

Although tail shapes are an important part of surfboard design, many surfers remain oblivious to the effects that tail shape has on how a board rides. Were you riding a round pin at 1-foot Creek? A swallow at 6-foot Haleiwa, perhaps? Repent! To give us the 101 on how your tail works, we rang up the esteemed Wade Tokoro: a man with more than 25 years of experience behind the planer for some insight.
Because pin tails have less surface area than other types of tails, they’re going to be fitting into the wave tighter and giving you more control over your board. True pin tails are typically used in really hollow, barreling surf—think Pipeline or Teahupoo—because at the end of the day, you really don’t want to be sliding around too much out there, you want to be in the tube. As a basic rule of thumb: the wider the tail, the looser the board.
Most of the rounded pins that I make are shaped for step-up boards. It makes a lot of sense if you look at the design of the tail. You’re taking the same approach that you have for a pin tail—you want something that will grip the wave a bit—but you’re adding a touch more surface area, which loosens up the feel of the board a little. A good example of a place you’d ride a round pin would be Sunset on a pretty solid, but not totally maxed-out day. You still want to be able to hold yourself into the wave, but you also want to have the option of drawing some lines and doing some turns.
Squash tails are usually a safe choice and they make up the bulk of the boards that I shape. Because of their outline, they’re really user friendly and versatile in a lot of conditions. It’s a design that suits the type of waves that most of us spend our time surfing. Because of the way the tail sits in the water—being stubby and wide—you’re able to get a lot more out of your turns and the board feels a lot looser because it’s not gripping the wave as much. It’ll also carry you through the flats pretty well and should be your go-to choice for small to medium-sized surf.
I mostly cut swallow tails when I’m shaping a fish and other playful types of boards I’m making. Because the design is so wide and there’s so much surface area, you can really sink it when you’re riding it. The design’s mostly conducive to small, playful types of conditions when you want to slide the tail around a lot.
