Volcom Pipeline Pro
Going into the event my only goal was to get one wave that I was pleased with… I did it! Somehow I also made it out of the trials and into the main event. In the main event I also made a few heats. Going in with no expectations to make it, I was really […]
Behind the Scenes @ Pipeline
Pipeline came alive! It started pumping yesterday morning. There was some really good waves made and some even better wipeouts. You always see the guy who gets the good waves photos and clips but I wanted to show what happens out at Pipe to “non pipeline specialist.” Tweet
Hurley 2012 Phantom Series
Hurley Phantom boardies. Best in the business! I honestly can’t imagine surfing in anything besides them. Really been diggin the Bloc Party models. Working on some new color ways with the boys too… Black and Red, and a few other ideas! Tweet
Lay Day: Byron Bay Glide
The day after my round 1 heat I had a day off (I’ve ended up having 3 days off). Our good friend Beren Hall lives down in Byron Bay and we decided to go for a quick drive south of the Goldy to go visit him. We surfed a super peaky rippable bank on a […]
Hawaiiiiii
Well, the contest finished at Sunset yesterday in fun Sunset! I made the semi’s and had a super close heat. There weren’t too many waves in our semi and I got knocked out of advancing in the last minute. It was a tough loss but a keeper result in the ratings to qualify for world […]
Burleigh World Juniors: Day 1
Burleigh is kinda like Rincon. Perfect little reeling rights along a rock point. So it’s been a pleasure to surf Rincon for two weeks before coming over here for this contest. The water is so clean and crystal clear here that it is nearly hard to concentrate on turning while your going down the line. […]
Goldy Arrival
Gerr and I arrived at our humble abode here on the point at Burleigh yesterday and let me tell you, the life down under is the good life. We made our way out from Brisbane by way of Chase Wilson and his ozzie friend Anthony. They are legends and we thank them greatly because if […]
The Queen Awakes
Well, it wasn’t how the forecasters claimed it was gonna be, but there was still a lot of fun waves. It was crowded beyond belief but both Conner and I managed to get a few fun waves. Check out the new vid: Tweet

Hawaii
Perry, Oda, and I arrived about three days ago to the lovely island of Oahu. Conner couldn’t come because he is going to Oz for a run of events so I’m the solo Coffin on the island. I was sad to leave Conner for a month, but really excited to be here. It’s pretty weird not […]
Coming Soon: Rincon Vid…
It was good. It was Clean. It was sunny. It was crowded, but with the right people. It was a perfect day at Rincon. Here’s some screen grabs from Perry’s edit. We’ll be posting the vid on Monday….. Tweet
Tail of The Week: Catrin Claeson
Catrin Claeson. This Tail of The Week has more photos than normal. There were just so many, it was hard to narrow it down. So, we just left them all hoping to satisfy everyone’s likings. Tweet

Hyped Swell With Jimmicane
Jimmy Wilson, AKA Jimmicane, AKA Jaguar Jimmy, is a classic human. Opinionated, straight forward, honest, patriotic, passionate, hilarious. Jimmy has made a name for himself photographing surfing, most notably for his Jimmicangle, as well as writing/photo editing for Surfing Magazine. He patented the term “whitewater rafting” within the world of surf, and has taught us […]

Chocolate Dipped
You know those strawberries that you dip in chocolate? That taste realllyyy good? That’s what our necks look like. It’s a good thing though, because it means we’ve been surfing a LOT. Parker took a picture of mine tonight, but it doesn’t even do it justice. Damn. Tweet

California Gold
The past few weeks at home have been amazing. We’ve been cruising at home with good friends just driving up and down the coast in search of waves. It’s been ridable everyday and we have been taking advantage of it! Life doesn’t get much better than these past few weeks. Gotta love it! Tweet
shaping?
Shaping…? Well, I tried. I was bored this afternoon so I went into Channel Islands and met with Mike Walters and Blake Howard. They instructed me how to shape my first ever shortboard. I had a lot of fun, but realized how hard it is. I definitely will never say a board looks horrible again […]
Hawaii Seen Through a Holga
Hawaii is so much fun in the late season. It mellows out, the sand is blasted away, and the waves tend to pump. Last year I was there for 2 weeks at the end of March. The waves were firing, I got stitches and a staff infection. I ended up spending long days staring at […]
Ev Valiere
Ev Valiere. He’s our new favorite goofy footer at pipe. He put on a clinic last week in the pipeline masters. Tail poke to two paddles into 10 footers on the first reef. He made it look so easy, that it was nearly dangerous to watch. Oh yeah, not to mention Evan is the nicest […]
Camera Test: Super 8
Perry just threw together a little lifestyle edit of our trip to Mexico in May with Dusty Payne and Matt Wilkinson. Pretty cool stuff shot on his new Super 8 camera. Shenanigans including cowboy hats and airports. Check it out! Tweet
