Zarautz Pro Live Webcast. Get on it. After the wow factor of the Tahiti shoot out for Mick and Joel it's time for the up and coming talent to find a window to shine. If this event gets swell... and it just might, then be prepared for some ariel bombardment. San Miguel Pro Zarautz 2012 ...

The Basque country town of Zarautz plays host to the international cast that makes up an ASP 6 star event. The surf has been a bit lazy but round 1 is done and the hope of better things are on the way. Last years winner did ok... Gabriel Medina showed just how to spring board into the top flight with a clutch of wins. At the moment Glenn Hall and Filipe Toledo are the guys most likely to. Good performances ...

Nothing to say... Just watch. ...

What a final day. The waves played their part as did some of the lulls. Some got in rhythm some didn't. A big big shout out to Ricardo Dos Santos who scared the pants off everyone on his way to the quarters and demanded the highest performance out of Mick to see him off and it took a ten at the buzzer to do it. Two times trials winner Ricardo takes home the AI for ever award. You gotta say this guy stepped ...

If you are going to claim a wave it might as well be this one. Go on a regular day and see everyone make the wave of their life... Or NOT. And I guess thats the point. Not only do these guys want to get the highest scores the contest judges can offer but they want to live to fight another day. Problem is the highest scores don't come from a drop and a simple line. They come from super late takeoffs, bouncin ...

This year they lost over $275 million. The loss is a 331 per cent drop from the $119.1 million net profit the retailer and manufacturer reporte ...

Sometimes when I see Kolohe surf he really looks like his old man. But all these new moves are pushing the physical. Knees, fractures, breaks and ankles are all of a sudden a real possibility with a small slip or dodgy landing. Kolohe was being hyped by nike in a skipping film and funnily enough he's doing a whole lot of that right now trying to get his ankle in some kind of shape. Up till now his form has ...

Virginia beach has been humming all week as Vans put on a show that many will be wishing they could vibe. Everything about the contest had the crowds jumping. Except the surf... It was on shore mushed out and fickle but that didn't stop the cream rising as the names we are going to hear across tha tannoy of world championship surfing next season came busting through. Nat Curran who looked the goods early on ...

Finally the warp came to the door and the magical reef at Teahupoo started to get it's thing on. Kelly Slater up against the two time wild card winner Ricardo Dos Santos started fast and it looked like Ricardo was going to the Kelly Show like pretty much everyone else in these kinds of waves. Bit then amazingly Kelly pulled in and got clipped by the lip on the way out and fell. Cue ooohs ans aaaahs from the ...
