Someone Pulls a Toyna Harding on Steph Gilmore...

Just got wind of some breaking news from Australia. Surfing's first lady, Steph Gilmore, was attacked by an intruder at her home yesterday afternoon. It appears some lowlife struck her with an iron pipe in the head and then as she turned to defend herself the second blow struck her wrist and broke it. Her neighbors came to her aide and the attacker was later taken into custody. That's some crazy stuff!!! She is claiming she'll be out of the water for 6 weeks and the hope is that she'll be back in action for the Roxy Pro in February. The full article is HERE and the following video was recently posted on youtube. Smells kinda suspect... Toyna Harding anyone??????

Dane is the BEST!!!! We share similar feelings when it comes to 60 footers. If you haven't made it to his blog yet check out MarineLayerProductions HERE. He also released a free film this year called Seen/Unseen. It's Dane all the way. Check out both his film and his 2010 surfers poll acceptance speech below.

In other radical and shredtacular news it Gavin O'hara's BIRTHDAY today!!! He's got the whole family down at the Amesbury tubing park going bananas. I bet Steve has got a little Clark Grizwald spray up his sleeve and the whole family is going wicked fast!

Happy Birthday big man!
