noreply@blogger.com (Ricardo D.) — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 00:36:00 +0000

Tahiti's Teahupoo (pronounced cho-pu) is essentially a glorified closeout - a hideous, deadly barrel promising a heap of trouble for even the most capable of surfers.

In recent years, professional contests and high-profile tow-ins have bombarded us with images of her seemingly flawless barrels, but no other surf spot extracts a higher toll than Teahupoo, the heaviest wave in the world.

Legends of The Surf

noreply@blogger.com (Ricardo D.) — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 22:45:00 +0000

Surfers, shapers, photographers, filmmakers and scribes. If they've had a significant impact on surfing you'll find them in this new series, "Legends of The Surf". Each episode reveals what their contribution to surfing was, where they are now and what they think about surfing, life and the universe.

Alby Falzon is a filmmaker, photographer, publisher and surfer who lives on the mid-north coast of NSW.

His inaugural feature film, Morning of the Earth, went through the roof when it was released in 1972, crossing over to mainstream audiences who had never even surfed. Thirty-three years later, this film came in at No.2 in Tracks Magazine’s Top 100 surf films of all time.

The new documentary, Into the Light of The Morning of The Earth, is a biographical account of the life and films of Albert Falzon, revealing the story behind the making of Morning of the Earth, Crystal Voyager and other Falzon documentaries on cultures and festivals around the world.

Eddie Aikau Big Wave Surfing Contest in Hawaii

noreply@blogger.com (Ricardo D.) — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 20:53:00 +0000

Honoring revered big wave surfer and lifeguard Eddie Aikau, the
Quiksilver Big Wave In Memory of Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational can only be held when the surf measures at least 20 feet (Hawaiian scale) for a full day of competition. The event came close to meeting the height requirements on several occasions this winter, however adverse wind and storm conditions ruled each opportunity out.

Surfing legend Eddie Aikau was the North Shore's first full-time
lifeguard, and earned the permanent guard chair at Waimea with a sterling reputation for his life-saving work. He was also a dedicated soul for Hawaii's indigenous people and the perpetuation of their culture. In 1978, during an historic voyage from Hawaii to Tahiti, the voyaging canoe he was on capsized, leaving him and nine other crew members stranded 12 miles east of Lanai. Aikau swam off in a heroic attempt to find assistance but, tragically, was never heard from again, despite the most intensive air-sea search in Hawaiian maritime history.

Laird Hamilton Giant Surf

noreply@blogger.com (Ricardo D.) — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 22:22:00 +0000

God Damn, it's Laird Hamilton, he is my hero!! Laird Hamilton is known as the guiding genius of crossover board sports, and he is truly amazing in the water. His size - six-foot-three, 215 pounds - makes him seem indestructible. 'Laird is the elder son of 60's surfing legend Bill Hamilton, and is a throw back to that time when surfers prided themselves on being all-around waterman. He is a great sailboarder and in my eyes the greatest all round water sportsman of all time. Cheers from little old Me.

He can be seen on the cover of magazines such as National Geographic, Outside, The Surfer's Journal, Men's Journal, Surfer, Surfing, and in Sports Illustrated, People, GQ, Interview, etc. In 1996, People magazine named him 'one of the 50 most beautiful people.' Surfer Poll Awards,'00 'Breakout Performance of the Year' and in France,'00 (M6) honored him with overall 'Rider of the Year'. In '01, ESPN's, Action Sports & Music Awards, awarded Laird 'Feat of the Year' award.

Surf Feeling

noreply@blogger.com (Ricardo D.) — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 22:36:00 +0000

Surfers say they feel it’s the only place to be. Many travel around the world searching for the perfect wave, moving from one surf festival to another and checking weather forecasts to see where really exciting waves are expected next. Some even carry pagers which beep when there’re weather reports of perfect conditions. A surfer’s greatest disappointment would be missing the opportunity to surf in the best weather conditions.

Hawaii is where the sport began- the place which most surfers feel their “true home”. They love nature and the excitement they get from the deep waters. Enormous waves crash along beautiful sand, and every surfer dreams of experiencing surfing in Maui or Oahu. Other great surfing locations include Australia, the west coast of the U.S., the Caribbean, Brazil, Japan, Hong Kong, South Africa, the Canary Islands, and Cornwall. Experienced surfers are always in search of the best waves in some totally unspoilt paradise that hardly anyone has heard of.

It takes time for a beginner to learn the technique, but during a long hot summer, who minds practicing? The professionals, of course, are in the sea every day, then come back onto the beach to do some exercises with weights. You need to be a strong swimmer with good balance and plenty of courage to be an expert surfer. You can surf almost everywhere in any weather if you are wearing a wet suit. All you need to do is to choose a surfboard and you’re ready to go – hopefully into big waves that are warm, with an experienced teacher to lead you. You don’t need to wear a wet suit in summer, but many surfers keep them on all the time since they can protect them from the hot sun and cold water.

It can take a few weeks or a whole summer for you to learn to catch a wave at the right moment, stand up on your board and stay there. It’s an amazing feeling when you look down and see your feet on the board and realize you’re finally standing up on the sea, even if you aren’t very steady. Professional surfers look as if they learned to surf since they could walk. For example, Shane Powell, an Australian professional, watched videos of Australian surfing heroes like Peter Townsend, Barton Lynch and Tom Carroll as he was growing up. He says, “As a boy I’d watch those surfers and just imagine myself riding the waves.” Powell seems to move over the sea without any difficulty. He first practiced on small waves, but clearly had talent. By the age of 17 he was touring with the world’s best surfers, and now, at 23, he practices every day and even younger generation of surfers study videos of him in action.

Simply watching great surfers will make you want to try the sport. If you do try it, you’ll find muscles you never knew you had; you may begin to think you might never get it right, but you’ll have a lot of fun.

Giant Swell at Jaws Maui

noreply@blogger.com (Ricardo D.) — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 22:15:00 +0000

Extreme surf video where two surfers are riding a giant wave in Jaws - Maui - Hawaii. When the waves are going off here there's always lots of helicopters in the air. One of the surfers almost touch one of them when he flies out the back off the wave, but i think he's most likely a 100 yards or more away.
And yes, he's attached with foot straps on tow-in boards.
