great pics man, killer. I'm a Kiwi and have always wondered why they nicknamed this particular wave "Aussie Pipe" when I've never seen photos of it over 6 feet. surely there are heavier left-handers in Australia that better deserve such a moniker? thoughts?

look at the size of the whitewater. madness.

hell yeah, I remember the '94 Pipe contest. Tamega's barrel roll off a 12 foot + closeout (arguably the craziest in bodyboarding history), Kainoa pulling into a 12 foot closeout with both arms spread out like wings, Brian Wise getting slayed and almost drowning... so many great moments. I was asking...

your average McDonald's tray works a treat, ala Nugget and Ballard at the Island about 15 years ago.

is it just me or does that end section look suicidally shallow?

#23 is a killer. nice work

dude, you're a dead-set farkin' legend. I'll name my first born son after you for this.

suck the snot from my f@#kstick.
nah, but seriously, there's no swell at the moment and I've been amping since March 1st to get on youriding and bust a huge ARS out of the bowl at Cloud 9.

Goddamn it, when are those lazy French wankers gonna get off their arse and re-open youriding.com for us? I'm jonesing super hard for that shit...!! Anyone heard anything?

and how sick was the Cloud Nine footage on that DVD? still gives me a woody just thinking about the perfection...

So Paulo Barcellos won the Pipe comp (he was also world champ a while back) and also in the top 8 we had Uri Valadao and Hugo Pinheiro. To most of us these guys are just names but if they are kicking this much arse, especially in the Pipe contest, why don't they feature more in videos and magazines?...

that was Tom Robinson? sick. don't think even Spencer Skipper could say he's nailed a reverse as hard as that before.

shit a brick, that looks heavy ^

damn, how shallow is the second-to-last photo in that Jules sequence (#5)? looks like about less than a foot of water over the barnacles. ouch

The best vids I've ever seen were Propaganda, The Inside, ROT 2 and Cereal Killer was pretty epic too. Haven't seen The Road or There's No I yet. Oh, and VIDEO is farkin' insane too.

about 2 years ago I was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean and we would regularly visit Central American countries like Costa Rica, Belize and Panama. As you may know, these poor-ass countries are hotbeds for drugs and a few crew members would bring cheap cocaine onboard. One day we were dock...

I was reading an article in a stand-up mag recently about some pros who travelled to Norway to have a look around for unridden lineups. They didn't find anything too special on the mainland but decided to travel out to the Faroe Islands which are north-west of Scotland, way up there in the north Atl...
