John John 3x Volcom Pipe Pro Champ!

Submitted by MD on Mon, 04/02/2013 - 5:33pm

Everyone knows young Mr Florence is an absolute charger in the big stuff, especially Hawaii and hes proved it once again! For a lot of people this event just snuck under the radar, but for those pipe frothers like us, the footage from this years Volcom pro was amazing. With a four man heat format, it makes for some good old husslin, and rampant wave action. Be sure to check out the footage...

A sweet watch from the crew at quicky. Sometimes having No Agenda is a good thing. Global riders, local groms, 1 foot slop, 40 foot chaos, old clips, new clips and everything in between this video has something for everyone...

Rip Curl Pro brings all the Bells and Whistles

Submitted by MD on Tue, 10/04/2012 - 10:15pm

We were stoked Sarah Mason made the quarter finals, even though unfortunately it meant Paige Hareb missed out. Sarah bet her in a very tight round 5 heat, it trying conditions in the womans draw at the Rip Curl Bro Bells Beach. She then went on to challenge Tyler Wright narrowly going down in a tricky heat, so congratulations Sarah on a great result. The eventual winner in the womans was Sally Fitzgibbons over Ratings leader Stephanie Gilmore.

With his frenetic, explosive iconic style, Michael Peterson became the stuff of legends during the 70's, winning every professional contest in Australia between 73 and ’75. His success was a blend of insane talent, pure determination and rat cunning. In the Stubbies event at Burleigh in '77, with the newly introduced setup of man-on-man surfing in front of 20,000 people, MP and dusted a young Mark Richards, took the five grand... and disappeared.
