Billabong Pro J-Bay - 7:15am start...
Or so it says on the website. That’s 10:15pm in Cali y’all, so get ready for a late night of some hot man-on-man action. This swell has been hyped since last week, so hopefully all the predictions will be right, and it will be firing.
Stay tuned…

Billabong Pro J-Bay - Resumes Tonight?
Hope so. Early reports is that the swell hadn’t started filling in yet by dark, so we’ll see…

Billabong Pro J-Bay
The Billabong Pro at J-Bay starts this Thursday the 10th, so make sure to get your Fantasy Surfer team locked-in. The heat draw is now up right here. The wildcards aren’t set yet, that will be decided by the results of the Von Zipper Trials right before the event.
Unfortunately for us in California, this is the contest that doesn’t start until around 11p.m. PST, and since I’m old and usually in bed by then, it makes it kind of a bummer. Hopefully they will have the “Heats on Demand” system working.

Done Searching?
Well judging by the message board chatter, it seems like it is all but publicly announced that The Rip Curl Pro Search contest is landing at Uluwatu this year.
If that is the case, who do you think that favorites are?
If Rizal gets a wildcard, is there any reason he should lose? He owns that place.
Is Uluwatu really “searching”? It’s not exactly an unknown location.
Thoughts?

Nike 6.0 Lowers
The Nike 6.0 Lowers contest is on again today. There was some great action yesterday, and the swell is a little bit bigger today (sets look like SO much fun!), so there should be a lot of shredding going on.
Check it out live right now:

Jamie O Wins Teahupoo Trials
Apparently Jamie O just totally dominated the the Air Tahiti Nui Von Zipper Trials. After going over the falls while trying to duckdive through the thick wall on day 1, he was smashed in the face by his board, splitting his lip and eye, but that didn’t slow him down at all.
He went up against Bruno Santos in the final, needed a high score in the dying minutes, and managed to score a perfect 10 on his last wave.

Dorian Wins XXL & $50k
Well Shane Dorian won the XXL Ride of the Year award last night for his wave at Teahupoo. Apparently the judges thought that because his wave wasn’t perfect, he was able to adjust 3 times (including a layback) and not eat shit, he deserved to win.
I don’t know, my pick is still Manoa’s wave. It’s just immense, beautiful, blue and perfect. And he makes it instead of cartwheeling out of the end of it.

Volcom is still trying to give you $10,000
There is still no winner for Volcom’s $10,000 kickflip-off. What are you waiting for?
If you haven’t heard about the contest, Volcom is giving $10,000 to the first person to produce video of themselves cleanly pulling off a “proper, above-the-lip” kickflip on a surfboard.
The contest began on November 21 and will run until a winner is produced. Volcom has set up a YouTube channel for people to upload their videos, and you can view everyone’s failed attemps.
Check out this Volcom page for more rules and details.
P.S. – watch out for those fins!
