The best big wave surf spots in the world


Surf News 27 Jan 2012, 7:23 pm CET

Big wave surf spots: is this big enough for

The best big wave surf spots in the world have a few things in common. They're only suited for experienced surfers, they only break once in a while and they can kill a rider in seconds.

Let's put things in perspective. A 50-foot wave (15 meters) carries about 1.7 MW of power across each meter of wave front, in a 15-second period scenario.

If you've decided to surf the biggest wave of your life, there are few things you should know. Get the right surf gear, ask for jet ski and boat support. And pray. Then, decide whether you're paddling into the wave or if being towed-in is the best option.

The biggest waves in the world are located in almost all continents. With the right swell and wind conditions you'll be lucky to ride four or five really monstrous waves.

The best big wave spots are dangerous and, in some cases, almost inaccessible without a boat or even helicopter. Carefully selecting which wave will open its face and the right moment for the take-off is compulsory. A mistake will probably cost you life.

Your Weekend Should Sound Like This, With Parker Coffin

Danzig “Devil’s Plaything” Well Danzig is just all time. It gets me psyched but it has those slow moments as well. I think it’s perfect music.

The Arcade Fire “Rebellion (Lies) This is about as mellow of music that I will listen to. I don’t like relaxing music. If I want to fall asleep I will take a Ambien. It’s just different and has a catchy sound to it.

 

Year Long Disaster “Show me Your Teeth” Well this song was used in a video of Bruce Irons at Pipe. The whole video is of Bruce getting so barreled and it just goes fast but isn’t too fast. It’s a good one to come on the iPod for sure.

 

Goons Of Doom “She Wore Rat Skin Boots” Yet another song that went with Bruce’s surfing. In The Bruce Movie, this is the song during the France section. It has a really unique sound to it and it’s by the Goons of Doom. I love that band.

 

Cyndi Lauper “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” Oh man, this song is just all time. A never ending hit in my mind. I just wish girls just did wanna have fun all the time.

 

This is what I listen to. I don’t like the techno or rap stuff really so I guess my playlist is a little different. I like fast music, stuff that gets you going. But then you got to throw in some mellow vibes with stuff like Arcade Fire and Cyndi Lauper. You can’t really psyche all the time so those are my mellow ones. Hope you like them.

Dennis Wilson: the only surfer in The Beach Boys

Dennis Wilson: the only surfer in Beach Boys

Dennis Wilson was the only member of The Beach Boys who actually surfed. The surfing spirit of the famous US band was in the heart of Dennis Wilson.

The founding drummer of The Beach had a troubled life, but lived it until the end with waves in his mind. "Hey, surfing's getting really big. You guys ought to write a song about it", Dennis once told his brother Brian and Mike Love, back in 1961.

Almost all Beach Boys' tunes had something to do with warm weather, sand, beach, waves, ocean, girls and parties. Dennis Wilson made sure the band kept in the track of the California surf lifestyle.

Dennis Wilson was born on the 4th December 1944, a few months before the end of the World War II. He hardly knew how to play drums, but his brother Brian bought him a few lessons until he did OK.

Gold Coast prepares to crown world junior surfing champions


Surf News 27 Jan 2012, 1:09 pm CET

Felipe Toledo: from Brazil, not Toledo in Spain

The Billabong World Junior Championships Gold Coast are reaching an exciting finish. All Quarterfinalists have been decided in both men's and women's draws, in 2-3 foot (1-1.5 meter) surf, at the world famous Burleigh Heads.

Joanne Defay, Leila Hurst and Philippa Anderson are still in the running after winning their heats and advancing to the Quarterfinals.

"I'm trying so hard not to put pressure on myself," Hurst said. "Of course there's a little bit of pressure, everyone's talking about the World Title, but I'm just trying to have fun."

The Men's ASP World Junior Title race has also seen a mix up with Connor Coffin bowing out of the race after losing to Ian Gouveia. There's still quite a few scenarios that could play out with only Caio Ibelli, Garrett Parkes, Jack Freestone, Filipe Toledo and Ian Gouveia still in the running.

"“I wanted to show the different beaches that Panama has to offer,” says Pucha Garcia. All calendar pages feature the surfer and model Pucha posing in beautiful swimwear.
