ASP confuses us!

ASPiada

Esta semana a ASP publicou em seu site uma nova mudança no sistema de entrada ao WT, o Conselho de Administração da ASP, que já havia anunciado no começo do ano que em 2012 não mais haveria rotação no meio do ano. Voltou a anunciar mudanças. Em 2013 irão se classificar os Top 22 do ASP World Title Ranking + os Top 10 do ASP World Rankings (aqueles que já não têm qualificação no anterior). Além de os surfistas terem todos seus pontos ZERADOS.
O que eu vejo é que a ASP vem fazendo burradas atrás de burradas nesses últimos 3 anos, e nem me refiro ao fato do título premeditado do Kelly, afinal aquele foi um erro do programa que calculava os seedings. Me refiro as constantes mudanças, que trazem muitas incertezas aos surfistas, e causa desgosto e abandono dos mesmos as competições (este ano dois brasileiros da nova geração assumiram que não vão buscar a vaga em 2012, devido as incertezas do tour, são eles Ricardo dos Santos e Marco Giorgi).
Isso é ruim para a imagem da ASP e principalmente ruim para a imagem do surf competição, fica difícil até para nós entendermos o sistema, quanto mais para o publico em geral.
Quando o Bobby Martinez esculachou a ASP na etapa de NY, eu mesmo achei grosseira e desnecessária a sua atitude, porém o tempo veio a confirmar que ele estava certo.
A ASP voltou atrás em suas duas principais mudanças no ano passado, a rotação no meio do ano e a unificação dos rankings. Sim, porque os rankings estão unificados só no site, o sistema voltou a ser o mesmo dos anos 2000, ASP World Title Rankings (WCT) e ASP World Rankings (WQS) cada um dando suas respectivas vagas, a diferença é que agora são 34 ao invés de 44 surfistas.
Kieren Perrow, representante dos surfistas perante a entidade, mais parece que busca uma vaga como CEO da ASP no futuro, por que concorda com tudo que é imposto.
A ASP alega que está sempre em um “constante aperfeiçoamento” do sistema e que vão mudar sempre que acharem necessário para melhor satisfazer os TOP’s.
Para mim aquilo mais parece um Senado, ninguém lá sabe o que esta fazendo e nem aonde isso vai dar...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week the ASP posted on its site a new change in the system input to the WT, the Board of Directors of ASP, which had already announced earlier this year that in 2012 there would be no more rotation in the middle of the year again announced changes. In 2013 will rank the Top 22 ASP World Title + Ranking the Top 10 ASP World Rankings (those who have not qualified in the previous). In addition to all the surfers have their points reset.
What I see is that the ASP has been making blunders after blunders over the past three years, and I do not refer to the fact of the premeditated title of Kelly, after all it was a program error that calculated the seedings. I mean the constant changes that bring many uncertainties to the surfers, and disgusted and abandonment of these competitions (this year two new generation of Brazilians assumed that they will not seek the post in 2012 because of the uncertainties of the tour, who are: Ricardo Santos and Marco Giorgi).
This is bad for the image of ASP and especially bad for the image of surfing competition, it is difficult for us to understand the system, even more to the general public.
When Bobby Martinez deranged the ASP in the New York event, I thought it was unnecessary and a rude attitude, but the time has came to confirm that he was right.
The ASP backed off from his two major changes last year, the rotation in the middle of the year and the unification of the rankings. Yes, the rankings are unified only in the website, the system is again the same as the years of 2000, ASP World Title Rankings (WCT) and ASP World Rankings (WQS) each giving their respective positions, the difference is that now ae 34 instead of 44 surfers.
The surfer Kieren Perrow, who represent the surfers in the entity, seems to seek more a job as CEO of ASP in the future by agreeing with everything that is imposed.
The ASP claims it is always in a "continuous improvement" and that the system will change when they see a need to satisfy the TOP's.
To me it looks more like a Senate, no one there knows what it's doing and even where this is going...

Lost Atlas

2011-09-30T17:11:00.001-03:00

Lost Atlas is the follow up to Kai Neville’s 2010 film Modern Collective. Kai Neville is surfing’s most progressive image-maker and returns with the world’s best surfers to create a new wave of futurism with his new project Lost Atlas. In “Modern Collective,” Kai Neville brought on the six most brilliant performers surfing could muster, and the academy approved. For his new collaboration, Kai rallies a dozen more surfers, including the original six for Lost Atlas, a project to defy all norms and expectations. A location based film shot in under 12 months, it takes the viewer on a candid jaunt into surfing today through the eyes of the most progressive, young surfers in the world.

Athletes in the film include Dusty Payne, Julian Wilson, Dion Agius, Owen Right, Craig Anderson, Jordy Smith, Dane Reynolds, Evan Geiselman, Connor Coffin, Kolohe Andino, Yadin Nicol, John Florence, Mitch Coleborn, Chippa Wilson, & Dillon Perillo.

Billabong Odyssey

2011-09-24T01:35:00.000-03:00

In addition to boasting one of the most astonishing opening sequences in the history of extreme-sports filmmaking, Billabong Odyssey offers a breathtaking survey of big-wave surfing at a pivotal stage in its evolution. With the advent of Jet-Ski Waverunners used for "tow-in" access to gigantic waves that paddle-surfers could never reach, this three-year, globe-trotting quest for the world's biggest waves is nothing less than spectacular. As documentaries go it's a bit cruder than 2003's other surfing movie, Step Into Liquid, and many of the same world-class surfers appear in both films (including 49-year-old Ken Bradshaw, still going strong). But Billabong is unrivaled in its abundance of jaw-dropping footage--most of it shot from helicopters hovering in close proximity--showing the sheer, terrifying scale of breaking "tubes"--some reaching 100 feet--at the most challenging big-wave locations on the planet, including Maverick's at Santa Cruz, California; Cortes Bank off the Pacific Coast; "Cyclops" in Australia; Mundaka, Spain; and the treacherous "Jaws" reef on the coast of Maui, Hawaii.

Bustin Down The Door

2011-08-12T00:19:00.003-03:00

Bustin' Down The Door is a 2008 documentary film chronicling the rise of professional surfing in the early 1970s.

Clashes with the locals, some of whom find the newcomers' bravado to be insulting to Hawaiian culture, eventually culminate in death threats against the subjects of the film.

The soundtrack includes music by David Bowie, The Stooges, Eels, Leonard Cohen and Them Terribles. The Original Score was composed by Stuart Michael Thomas.

Jordy Smith takes back-to-back at Billabong Pro J.Bay

2011-07-24T22:31:00.000-03:00

Jordy Smith (ZAF), 23, has taken out the 2011 Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay in a hard-fought Final over Mick Fanning (AUS), 30, in front of the raucous and hardy hometown crowd on the beach and hundreds of thousands watching online.

Event No. 4 of 11 on the 2011 ASP World Title season, the Billabong Pro culminated in dramatic fashion today with “victory at sea”, three-to-four foot (1 – 1.5 metre) surf and the world’s best surfers displayed their comprehensive abilities to shred anything from yesterday’s perfection to today’s challenging conditions.

Smith continuously posted impressive scores throughout his Quarterfinal, Semfinal and Final heats, but it was his local knowledge that allowed his to select the best waves in the Final to overtake an in-form Fanning. The win was met with an eruption from those in attendance braving the harsh weather, and Smith was cheered up the beach to an emotional audience.

The Kerrazy Kronicles

2011-07-09T17:26:00.001-03:00

The film is filed via country, and ridiculous waves are scored worldwide. From big Hawaii and fun Indo, to pumping Snapper and Todos Santos. All the locations you’d expect to see, captured from fresh angles and set to head nod-inducing beats. Barbados barrels haven’t seen film since Kelly Slater in Campaign 2 and the Soup Bowls footage got the crowd hooting for more. That, and the footage of 16-year-old Kerrzy and his Goldie crew, back when they all rocked homey steeze. Pure hilarity.

The film’s clearly influenced by early …Lost videos, which is a welcome change from everything that’s touched down out lately. Primarily a surf flick should stir a desire to shred, and by the time the credits roll you’ll want to paddle out.

At the conclusion of the film a chorus of “yews” and “aahs” rang out, and shot glasses were clinked. Good, old fashioned fun at a good, old fashioned film premiere.
