Starting the week with yet another ‘People are Awesome’ film… but believe me, it is worth watching. The clips here are better quality, more interesting angles and the music much more in line with what I’d want for a soundtrack to these insane dare devils. Most clips seem genuine too.
insane
Heaviest footage ever
I have to admit that no few seconds that I have ever seen filmed before is this heavy. Really groundbreaking footage yet again from Teahupoo. I don’t even have words for how dedicated these “hell men” are that let these monsters move em down and swallow them whole.
This is my winter
Entering the new year and summer time here in Sydney means winter to some. Found this snowboarding movie that is the sum up of the 2011 season for Xavier de le Rue. The guy is insane… give yourself half an hour and sit back and enjoy. This is my winter / Full movie.
Ten days that changed surfing…

The beast that was sleeping did wake up and come to life in a way that saw surfing change yet again.
During the Billabong Pro 2011 in Tahiti we saw some of the biggest, meanest and scariest waves ridden in competitive surfing.
ASL (Australias Surfing Life) along with Billabong are now releasing a 144 page hardbound book from this epic contest, without advertising (sweet!!!).
Even though the design/layout seem a little “unclean” in my eyes, it will definitely be a great buy for the $25 it’ll cost.
You can pre order the book now.
Giving the sport a slingshot…
When I saw this film, I instantly realized that this will make the world see some freaking insane stuff in years to come.
Like when street skateboarding came into the scene… Overnight everybody saw the potential of their own neighborhoods turning into new shreddable canvases. When will we see something similar getting invented in surfing?
