Volcom Pipeline Pro


Good morning crew! How is everybody feeling today? I'm feeling good, saw a great sunrise this morning as I cruised around with the pup checking out the wave situation. There is definitely a little bump lapping on our shore. Steve got a session in and came in with a huge grin on his face. There is potential for the waves to get a little bigger and cleaner as the day goes on. Keep an eye on it because I think there will be some fun LB waves later on this afternoon.


Steve and I are stoked to get our live webcast fix filled as the Volcom Pipeline Pro waiting period starts today. This should be an awesome contest as there are over 110 competitors from 13 different countries ready to rock as soon as the waves are. Check the trailer below and check the Pipeline Blog HERE for lots of little videos and weirdness...


I also found this article on the Surfers Village that has the topic of surfer etiquette in the courtroom. A basic summary of what I read is as follows: Crowe catches a wave and begins to shred while Adams paddles out to the lineup trough the impact zone right in front of Crowe. Crowe collides with Adams. Crowe says no worries just pay for the repairs to which Adams replies "suck it". Instead of fighting Crowe took Adams to court and the judge decided that while etiquette is not law, Adams acted improperly. Adams was ordered to pay $750 for a new board plus the $90 court fee. I found this interesting... You can read the full article HERE. On the one hand it like one big middle finger to everyone who has gotten in your way and screwed up that perfect wave. On the other hand we have all been that guy or gal in the wrong spot at some point. So I agree not to sue any of you if you agree not to sue me. Do we have a deal???

Waves later and waves early this week. Skate sessions always!
