PIPE MASTERS FINALS TODAY!!!!

Yesterday was awesome for both us and for Pipe. Super fun wave here, super good waves at backdoor! The Dusty Payne vs Mick Fanning heat might have been the best heat of the whole year! With seconds on the clock Dusty posted a 9.87 which secured his place on the tour next year and advanced him to the next round! It was what you would call a nail biter. The ladies surfed the last heat of the day and in the end Steph won the heat, won the Triple Crown, and let Tyler Wright know she's ready for a battle. Check out the highlights below!

Surprisingly the waves were still super fun this morning! I had a great little session with some fun chest high drops and the best parking spot on the seacoast! Sometimes you just get lucky!

Our good friend Marc just happens to be one of our favorite reps. He's always STOKED and he's always ready for waves or whatever is in front of him. One of his major lines is RipCurl and that is a brand we're beyond stoked to have in the shop, Marc does whatever it takes to keep us out fitted in Rip Curl rubber and we appreciate it. In fact Steve is so stoked on his 4/3 Ripcurl Insulator that he's still wearing it. Marc is the best, he doesn't live in NH but he surfs here enough that you might think he's a local. I hit Marc up with a few burning question, check out his answers!!!

NAME, AGE, YEARS SURFING : Marc (Angie) Angelillo, 55 started surfing at 10 yrs old in 1965 ( before shortboards & bodyboards had even been brought to market)

YOU'RE A PROUD NEW DAD, TELL US ABOUT YOUR BOY. “CJ” my little dude is almost a year now (1/6), the size of a large oven turkey roaster and I think he is goofy footed like his dad but I’m going to show him switch stance too.

WHO SURFS BETTER, YOU IN YOUR PRIME OR STEPH GILMORE BLIND FOLDED? YES, I love watching Steph surf blind folded in a bikini!

WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOUR SELF A LEADER OF TRENDS OR A TREND FOLLOWER? A leading old school trend setter

DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT MAKE 7 FIGURES SELLING BODY GLOVE IN THE 80S? something like that and I also gave a way a lot of BG decals too, helping spread the stoke and put them on absolutely everything!

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE NAMED PIONEERS FAVORITE NEW ENGLAND REP? I’m humbled ( hey what took so long?)

HOW MANY BOARDS DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR GARAGE RIGHT NOW? It’s a sickness, I know I know, more than 50 I think between shortboards, longboards and SUP’s …

WE KNOW YOU WORE UGGS IN THE 80S, WHAT WAS YOR PREFERENCE SHORT OR TALL? I like my Uggs like my coffee light and sweet.

FROGSKINS OR RAZORBLADES? Were the frogskins first? My mind is going ( it’s the age)

HOW MANY NEON ZIPPERED BODY GLOVE BIKINIS DID YO SELL? I loved that bikini top, but more important … the number of them I saw the zipper fail on ? J

WILL KELLY BE BACK ON TOUR NEXT YEAR? I think he is going to pick his favorite events to mix the boys up throughout the 2011 season.

WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN THE ASP TITLE NEXT YEAR? Jordy, Parko, Taj, Mick or Dane its anyone’s game.

WINTER SUIT OF CHOICE? That's easy! Ripcurl F-Bomb 5/4. No doubt!

FAVORITE SHOP IN NEW ENGLAND, FAVORITE WAVE IN NEW ENGLAND AND THE BRANDS YOU LOVE AND REPRESENT? I’m just so stoked to be part of almost every surf shop in the Northeast, it’s like family to me. .
