Do you hear that noise? It's the sound of girls all over the world bookmarking Evan Geiselman's new website. And one visit to the Australian Open runner up's new site and you'll see why you should bookmark it too: lots of surf clips, photos and more to get you stoked. Check it out here.
The Stab Mag features just keep on comin'. This time, it's Pete Devries launching a frontside spinner somewhere north of, and most likely colder than, where you currently are. Head over to Stab to hear what our favorite Canadian has to say about fending off 500-pound bears (even bigger sea lions), surfing in head-to-toe rubber and exploring the untamed Canadian wilderness.
We're stoked on Suedehead's new music video, and so is Google Music.
Backed by members of SoCal bands Hepcat and The Aggrolites, Suedehead mix ska, soul, punk and a vintage brand of American rock 'n' roll into a familiar but affecting sound. Organs and horns flare, but it's the band's sturdy guitar riffs and Warsop's raspy, emotive voice that give songs like "Small Town Hero" their appeal. Watch the new video and grab the track for free right here. — Eric Grandy, Google Music
Evan's above-the-lip bag of tricks was no match for 143 of the 144 surfers at the ASP 6-Star event held at Manly Beach. Evan felt right at home in the small, New-Smyrna-like waves and ended up finishing in an impressive 2nd place spot behind Australian, Matt Banting — who also won the Pro Junior division. With the result, Evan has moved up to #12 in the ASP World Rankings — a great start to his 2012 qualification campaign! Watch the Australian Open final day highlights here. Photo: ASP/Robertson
Ever since we started having skate nights, Thursdays have become our favorite night of the week. And this last one was no exception. This time our friends from Huntington Surf & Sport were there to enjoy the facilities and take in the sounds of the Honey Badgers, who you’ve heard us talk about enough times now that you’re probably wondering why they haven’t filed a restraining order against us. But if they’re OK with it, we’re going to keep listening to them (and so can you, right here). Click through to see all the action from last week’s skate night. Photos: Derek Bahn
Rob Machado recently enjoyed a day swell and perfect conditions at home. And by enjoyed, we mean got ridiculously barreled at a certain SoCal slab. Head over to Surfline to watch the guy get more barreled in one day than most will in a year. Video: PK
Not only is the southern hemisphere in the throes of summer, but one part of it, Manly Beach, is in the throes of full on Australian Open of Surfing madness. And by madness, we mean goodness. For proof of said madness/goodness just head over to our YouTube channel to see what the boys and girls have been getting up to, down under.
Day 7 of 9 of the Australian Open of Surfing was a beaut! There was heaps of action in the water, in the beach bowl and on the sand. Mitch Crews, who's been having a hell time, along with Evan Geiselman and Ace Buchan have advanced through to the Round of 16. A win later today will put them into the quarterfinals. So tune in at australianopenofsurfing.com to cheer on our mates when things kick off this arvo at 1:00 PM PST. We'll be doing some LIVE heat commentary over at our Facebook page during Evan's first heat of the day against Kolohe Andino — should be a cracka!! Cheers! #howtospeakaustralian
For everyone aspiring to be a top-level surfer, there are two things you must do: be very good at surfing and create a blog that pumps out footage of you being very good at surfing to hoards of interweb surf junkies. And guess what? Up-and-coming Junior standout, Scott Weinhardt, has done just that. So give his new blog, Surf N Boots, a good hard look right here. And don't forget to bookmark it along with our other favorite blogs, Young Wise Tails, Don't Fear Me Gypsy, Cooper And Beau, The Goodwin Project, Captain Fin, Crude Behavior, Cycle Zombies and High Seas Film. All that blogginess should tide you over through the weekend.
