dancing on water: the documentary-teaser 1

surfed oside pier today..pretty fun..over head glassy a-frames..goodtimes good waves.

im going to be moving back to texas for the summer at the beginning of may. will work at windandwave and sushibar for the next few months while not paying rent at home..that way when i come out for school next semester, i will have some cash under me. while im home, i will be filming/surfing for a movie that i am currently starting/working on. we will premiere it at an artshow before we head back out to the west coast in august..hopefully while in tx i will do a strategic strike mission to MEX!

havnt surfed in a few days..its killing me. im going out tomorrow no matter what. wind. rain. flat. or worse.

just need to get WETT.

the 2nd stop on the WCT is about to start at BELLS BEACH, OZ next week. There is going to be some CHANGE in the seating format. the top 16 are placed into ROUND 2 for the remainder of the year in any event that implements the new format. this format allows for events to be completely finished in 3 DAYS to maximize quality potential in a solid swell..there will no longer be a losers round. man on man elimination. its going to get INTERESTING. follow everything HERE


here is to claiming my fathers surf shop in TEXAS...surfed a solid run of southern energy at LOWERS last week and did some tagginggg..hopefully pictures to come if the photog sends them this way.

here is a video of BRENT ATCHLEY, pro for Element. I cant stop watching his parts..he is so fluid and makes everything look so simple and effortless...that is something i truly admire in boardsports, sports, or life for that matter.

that will teach those kooks to shred our spots

ASP World Tour-Snapper/Kirra

http://quiksilverpro.com.au/eng/Live.aspx

parko just defeated adriano in the final!! $40,000 richer and 1200 points as the he holds down the number one spot after the first contest of the year.. he usually does very well at BELLS, so lets see if he can put together a full year with this early momentum!
he just tied slater and fanning for holding 2 quiksilver pro titles..

adriano needed a combo of like 18 something points...stoked he finally made his FIRST ASP final...met and surfed with him at lowers last summer after the boost mobile, and he was really nice. humble. such a fastttt surfer!

EDIT: Parko in dying minutes of the final scored a PERFECT 10..,,he got a ten in the semi and the final.

i surfed SWAMIS this morning on my new SUPER surfboard I posted below..things is so SICKK..first of all was lucky to get swamis with 6 people out at most at any given time..at one point just four of us...waves were about thigh to chest high aand superr cleann..the board holds SPEED really well, and was very responsive..

some really good friends of mine get out here tomorrow evening for SPRING BREAK! jasongrove, rachelschuelka, and johnallen....cant waitt..

gonna make a springbreak video! keep your eyes OPEN!
