I’ve spent a lot of time surfing in the South of France, and the waves have been pretty big every time I’ve been there, almost this big, but not quite. This new entry for the BillabongXXL award is just incredible looking.

Winners will be announced April 11, 2008.

Final Day of the Monster Energy Pro

With today being the final day of the waiting period, all remaining heats will run in less than ideal conditions. It’s been raining like crazy in Hawaii, so the conditions have been crap, but regardless, it’s still worth watching everyone completely rip the shit out of the waves they do get.

Quiksilver Revolution 2.0

Sunway Lagoon, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. 26 January, 2008.

Malaysia’s land-locked city of Kuala Lumpur is about to get a blast of boarding culture with the upcoming Quiksilver Revolution 2.0 bringing an international line-up of surfers and skaters to its chlorinated shores.

At a huge 18,000 square feet (1,672 square metres), the man-made surf pool at Sunway Lagoon resort theme-park in the heart of city, is the largest in the world and the perfectly shaped waves it produces has attracted five of the world’s most talented surfers to take part in a surfing display.

On January 26, aerial specialist Ry Craike (Kalbarri, West Australia), top-ranked professionals Troy Brooks (Bells Beach, Victoria, Australia) and Josh Kerr (Snapper Rocks, Queensland, Australia) will be joined by Peurto Rican hotshot Dylan Graves and Indonesian star Wayan ‘Betet’ Merta (Bali, Indonesia) as they give a futuristic surfing demonstration to an expected 30,000 curious landlocked fans.
