Vans Chukka Lows @ Pioneers in NH

The final day of the Billabong Rio Pro is LIVE right HERE in two-to-four foot (1 metre) waves at Barra da Tijuca and today’s action will begin with Round 5 and eventually crown a champion by day’s end. After some massive upsets in round 3 and 4 the boys remaining are onto the quarters. Slater, Jordy, and Mick all went down early leaving the door open for some changes on the leader board. I'm thinking we'll see a Taj v.s. Adriano fianl today even though Adriano just took out Owen Wright in a not so clear cut win. Adriano received an excellent score for a one maneuver wave and Owen surfed a great wave right at the buzzer falling a tenth of a point shy of Adriano. Owen was very gracious in his defeat but clearly stated his point in the after heat interview. It was really close but have a look at the heat highlights HERE and make your own opinion.

Pioneers is VERY WELL STOCKED with VANS CHUKKA LOWS!!!! Get after em'.

The Pro-Tec Pool Party is pretty much the most prestigious skateboard contest going. Win here and your pretty much a legend FOREVER!!! Our boy NOLAN MONROE placed 5th last year and we have high hopes for a top 3 finish for the young gun this year! There is some big news just out, Bucky Lasek is out with a serious ankle break but stepping in to fill the void.... legendary Tony Hawk.

Tony has never competed at the bowl and it will be cool to see the birdman back at it. The big question will be does Tony have what it takes to keep up with the young guns of skateboarding??? "I've been wanting to skate the Pro-tec event for a while, but I was either out of town or hurt over the last few years. To me, the Pool Party event symbolizes how far skating has come, where legends and modern skaters ride together in an iconic pool. Just hoping I can still do my Upland lines..." Live webcast of the whole contest tomorrow right HERE starting at 6pm.

Don't forget!!!! Tuesday, Flatbread Pizza Company in Amesbury from 5-10!!!!

SUPPORT!!!!!

I'm not sure how much longer I can take this weather!!!! At least we got some little messy waves in the water today and some cleaner knee high ones for tomorrow, fingers crossed.
