Comgrats Dusty, Coco & Pedro! – Volcom Destroys Boredom at the 2011 US Open

So yet another US Open of Surfing went down last week in Huntington Beach, CA… As expected, there were immense crowds consisting mostly of surf enthusiasts, sweaty tourists, and barely legal girls wearing nothing but bikinis and spray-paint. Spectators were treated to world class surfing in halfway decent waves, skateboarding at the Coastal Carnage bowl jam, a few concerts, some BMX, fashion shows, and a whole lot of advertising…The Volcom team was there in full force, Destroying Boredom wherever they went! Big high fives go out to Volcom surf superstars Dusty Payne and Coco Ho who both made it to the semi-finals in men’s and women’s surfing! More congratulations are in order for Volcom pro skater Pedro Barros for snagging second place overall in the Coastal Carnage bowl jam! General awesomeness was portrayed by all of our participating athletes and team members, well done! On the other side of the highway the Volcom fun continued. Our new yellow Cadillac cruised the streets and definitely turned some heads after its little “accident.” There was a march of Stone-Men mascots who stirred up all sorts of trouble to the delight of anybody nearby with a camera. Fans young and old mobbed to the Volcom tents outside of HSS and Jack’s Surfboards to get autographs from their favorite athletes who put their moniker on everything from posters, to clothing to… um, other things… We would like to thank all of you who came out and showed your support. Keep an eye out for Volcom at the next US Open of Surfing, we will be there spreading pure fun and destroying boredom for years to come…

Volcom Announces the 2012 Volcom Fiji Pro ASP World Tour Event!

CLOUDBREAK, Tavarua, Fiji (Monday, July 25, 2011) – ASP International and Volcom are pleased to announce the return of the world’s best surfers to one of the most perfect waves on the planet with the confirmation of the Volcom Fiji Pro to the 2012 ASP World Title season. The competition will mark Volcom’s first ASP World Title event and a much-desired return to the world-class breaks of Cloudbreak and Restaurants for the ASP Top 34. “We are all very excited about the opportunity to host our first ever ASP World Title event in Fiji,” Richard Woolcott, Volcom CEO, said. “Having the competition at Cloudbreak, or even Restaurants, is a perfect fit with Volcom‘s long history with Tavarua. This is a major step in our surfing program and it’s great to be able to support the tour and its athletes with an event in world class surf.” After a three-year hiatus from the ASP Dream Tour, the Volcom Fiji Pro will host the world’s best surfers from 2012 through 2014, with the potential for further extension from the current three-year license agreement. “Our partnership with Volcom has grown over the last several years from their support of our athletes to the sponsoring of the ASP 5-Star Pipe event and now as a licensee for an ASP World Title event,” Brodie Carr, ASP Intl CEO, said. “Fiji truly incorporates our mission statement of putting the world’s best surfers in the world’s best waves, and absolutely enhances our tour moving forward. I’m confident that all the guys will be rapt about this addition to the ASP World Tour.”

Jonathan Gonzalez da oggi parte del Team Nike 6.0

Nike 6.0 da il benvenuto nel suo team europeo a Jonathan Gonzalez. Conosciuto da tutti per il suo stile, il surfista spagnolo è in grado di surfare in ogni condizione con grazia e semplicità senza mai beccare alcuna critica. Jonathan, A.K.A. Black Shark, è un surfista a cui piace fare tutto: dalle grandi onde di Tenerife, isola in cui e nato e vive ancora oggi, agli infiniti tubi sui quali ha costruito il suo stile in un mix di old e new school. Tra i pochi europei in grado di affermarsi nella scena mondiale senza troppa fatica, Jonathan ha partecipato ai WQS per 7 anni, guadagnandosi una serie di scalpi lungo la strada e diverse conquiste di podi. “Jonathan Gonzalez è un vero surfista. Per me lui è il surfer più completo in Europa e sicuramente il più stiloso. Durante i contest e in buona forma è in grado di vincere contro chiunque, ma è anche un ragazzo con cui ci passi bene il tempo perché sempre sorridente e con tanta volgia di fare.” afferma Philippe Malvaux, Nike Team Manager e Coach. Jonathan fa parte ora del team Nike 6.0 Europa insieme a Michel Bourez, Nicolaus Von Rupp, Charly Martin e Naum Ildefonse.

VQS Mullet Fish Cap Ferret

Posted by Salad Days On June - 9 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

VQS Mullet Fish Cap Ferret

The VQS tour stopped last weekend on the peninsula of Cap Ferret for 1st of the three events called the Mullet Fish (Hossegor and Crozon) Series in France. Almost 100 surfers were present to spend a pleasant day with friends and try to qualify for the VQS Champs in April 2012. With a poor forecast suspected, it was decided to run the contest in one day the Saturday, but we were forced to change our schedule because of a surprise storm in the end of the afternoon. On Saturday, conditions were really fun with 3-4foot waves, light wind, sunny, warm, and a perfect day to spend on the beach… before the storm! And luckily for us, Poseidon was generous on Sunday too (despite the poor forecasts) with a 2-3 foot swell, with no rain and no wind! For the first time we had a SQUIDS category (Under 10years old) and it was a pleasure to see the little buddies ripping as the adults without any help (no parents to push them). It was not a contest, just a session/heat, and everyone returned home with a prize. We were invaded by groms (more than 35), where the level is just getting higher and higher, and as usual, Aldric God won thanks to powerful surfing with big carves and turns, just in front of the last years winner, Arthur Lassée, with Vincent Feillon in third and Pol Barets finishing the final in forth. A total of 12 Girls were on hand for the contest, and trust me the level was just amazing from the first heat to the last one. Johanne Panzini (euro VQS champs 2011 winner!) won with some good barrels and clean turns just in front of an explosive Laetitia Sudre who showed some amazing back hand surfing, Maeva Akbi placed third, and Amaia Billecock followed in fourth. In the Junior’s, it was to no surprise Pierre Rollet was on top for a easy win in front to the young local and crowd favourite, Theo Rodriguez (just 15 years old), Loyan Pons de Viers placed third and the older brother of Vincent, Boris Feillon was in fourth spot. In Open, the level was just insane this year, some favourites lost in earlier round like Hugo Palmarini, Jean Seb Estienne, Kieran Bulard, and Rudy Marechal. The first Quarter was the highlight of this VQS with an incredible surfing from the locals, Rémi brothers, where Nicolas, the young brother, landed the biggest reverse air of the contest and won the Electric Volt Thrower. The last heat of the day was the Open final where unfortunately local Nicolas Rémi had to be content in 4th just behind Thomas Chamula from Tahiti-Reunion Island in third, and the battle was between Romain Lauhlé and the famous Tahitian Steven Pierson. The results was tight, in the end Steven Pierson took the win and the 400€. Congrats Bra!!!! Many thanks to all the surfers, parents, friends who changed their planning to stay one more day at the contest! Big Thanks to NOUNOURS for the best sandwich in south west (Approved by Antoine Benetrix!), ELECTRIC, KZOB, Surf Club de la Presqu’île (especially Julien, Rémi, Yo, Loîc, Vincent), the council of Lege Cap Ferret, the surf-shop Tutti Frutti, Antoine Benetetrix from the CREEDLE CAMP, La Crapule, and Smiters.

Bonosurf launches tidal bore surf expeditions in Sumatra

In a country blessed and known for some of the best waves on the planet, there remained a hidden treasure. As perfect blue waves peeled onto the shores of Bali, Java, Nias, the Mentawais and all those other dream spots of Indonesia, another sort of wave has been secretly ridden by locals on their canoes for more than 70 years. And what a wave this is: deep in the jungle of Sumatra, 80km away from the sea, the “Bono” as it is called by the local inhabitants of the river Kampar, meanders his way along the riverbank for up to 50km! This wave is not a typical wave; it is a tidal bore, as it is only found in few rivers around the world. Other famous examples of this natural phenomenon are the ‘Pororoca’ of the Amazon, the ‘Silver Dragon’ of the Qiantang river in China, the ‘Severn Bore’ in UK or the French ‘Mascaret’.

Unlike regular ocean waves, tidal bores are created through the tidal push at the change from low to high tide. Depending on the width and depth of a river, this push propagates through the river and creates an energetic wave and water flow. As it hits shallower banks and sections, the wave is transformed into a surfable form, breaking for kilometres without end!
The now discovered Indonesian “Bono” counts among the top three tidal bores in the world. But whereas it requires a proper expedition to surf the Pororoca, the Bono is easily accessible by land or sea either via Pekanbaru (short flight from Kuala Lumpur) or Singapore. And whereas the Silver Dragon tidal bore is breaking in one of the most heavily industrialized areas of China with legally restricted access to regular surfers, the Bono is situated along one of the last remaining peat swamp forests in Indonesia. With this press release, Bonosurf announces the establishment of a tour operation to experience and surf the great natural phenomenon of the Bono. Starting its operation with the begin of the next tidal bore period (end of August 2011), any surfer that wants to experience the longest rides of his life can now book what is possibly the trip of a lifetime.

Guests are welcomed in the friendly village of Teluk Meranti, situated along the Kampar river bank. Bonosurf works together with local hotels and restaurant to provide a full all-inclusive package that includes boat rental with fuel and trained pilots, accommodation, food & drinks, daily briefings and the necessary local permits. Bonosurf uses special boats to position the surfers in front of the wave and to pick up the surfers once they fall, miss a wave or let the wave fade out due to muscle fatigue! Depending on the moon phase and tidal ranges, Bonosurf offers up to 6 consecutive days of surfing, with possible riding times around 2 hours per day. In any case, you can expect the longest waves of your life! For media houses interested in producing a story about this tidal bore in the middle of the Sumatran jungle, Bonosurf also has extensive knowledge in guiding specific trips to this truly spectacular natural wonder.

Oakley – Blade

Posted by Salad Days On April - 17 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

Oakley presenta Blade – il boardshort rivoluzionario

COSÌ NON LI HAI MAI VISTI, COSÌ NON LI HAI MAI INDOSSATI
Blade di Oakley, la rivoluzione high tech nei boardshorts

L’innovazione è la nostra linfa vitale e la passione per le prestazioni pulsa nelle nostre vene insieme alla volontà di ridefinire la sfera del possibile. Rispondiamo alle esigenze degli atleti professionisti, refrattari a ogni compromesso, armandoli di tecnologie all’avanguardia, che danno una marcia in più nel vivo della competizione: gli Oakley Blade, il non plus ultra degli short da surf, cambiano per sempre le carte in tavola!

PROFILO TECNOLOGICO

- COMPRESSIONE
il tessuto a compressione muscolare del pantaloncino interno offre la massima protezione dalle irritazioni cutanee. Maggiore resistenza, potenza muscolare e fase di recupero accelerata. Migliore equilibrio e propriocezione muscolare.

- TESSUTO ANTISTRAPPO ESTENSIBILE NELLE QUATTRO DIREZIONI E LEGGERISSIMO

- NANOTECNOLOGIA
per conferire al tessuto proprietà idrorepellenti a livello molecolare, l’acqua non si accumula sulla superficie ma si addensa in piccole goccioline che scivolano via senza essere assorbite.

- CUCITURE SALDATE
nessuna cucitura sporgente, nessun fastidio sulla pelle. La tecnica di cucitura mantiene inalterate la qualità e le prestazioni del tessuto antistrappo o stretch. Il pantaloncino interno in tessuto a compressione muscolare ad alte prestazioni contrasta l’affaticamento dei muscoli e assicura il massimo comfort durante le sessioni più estenuanti. Risultato: fase di recupero accelerata, rapida scomparsa della sensazione di bruciore e nessuna irritazione cutanea. Il pantaloncino esterno non è da meno: ultraflessibile, indeformabile, impermeabile grazie al trattamento idrofugo e per di più leggerissimo… i Blade raddoppiano i vantaggi per fare esattamente quello che fai tu in acqua: agire, reagire e tornare subito in perfetta forma.

AMBASSADOR DEI BLADE

Adam Melling

Cresciuto a cavallo delle onde che si innalzano sullo splendido fondale roccioso di Lennox Heads, Adam Melling ha perfezionato la sua tecnica lungo le coste di quel paradiso del surf che è l’Australia, per affermarsi tra i più grandi talenti della tavola fin da bambino. Una vera forza della natura, il rivale da battere nel WCT, con le sue manovre velocissime e il suo stile fluido, Melling non passa mai inosservato quando è in acqua. Il suo obiettivo per la stagione 2011? Un posto nella top 10 della classifica mondiale.

Tommy Whitaker

Tommy “whits” Whitaker è un nome temuto nel mondo del surf fin dalle sue prime vittorie conquistate a soli 13 anni. Un autentico signore delle acque, degno discendente di una stirpe di atleti e votato a una vita che ruota attorno all’oceano, è animato da un incrollabile ottimismo e affronta il mondo con il sorriso sulle labbra. Domina le onde con uno stile classico manovrando la tavola da bordo a bordo con estrema scioltezza e dando sfoggio di tutta la sua potenza e la sua eleganza. Avversario tenace, Tommy ha partecipato a numerose edizioni del WCT e aperto la strada a molti aspiranti surfisti australiani. In futuro, spera di contribuire a forgiare le nuove leve del surf insegnando la sua arte e condividendo la sua esperienza agonistica.

Sebastian Zietz

Nato a Kauai, l’isola giardino della hawaii, Sebastian “seabass” Zietz è cresciuto circondato dall’oceano. “Figlio di mezzo” di nove fratelli, Seabass era più che deciso a farsi valere, in un modo o nell’altro. Fin da piccolo, ha dimostrato di essere un surfista nato, capace di accucciarsi sui piccoli frangenti, come di partire all’attacco di imponenti close out, planando lungo la parete d’onda accanto ai veterani della tavola. Impareggiabile per stile e carisma – dentro e fuori dall’acqua – possiede quella misteriosa abilità di trasformare i momenti più scialbi in istanti memorabili e di infondere tutta la sua energia nelle sue manovre acquatiche, fatte di curve rapide e spettacolari con un approccio originale alle onde. sempre pronto a cogliere il lato buono delle cose, seabass è di sicuro quello che si diverte di più in acqua, indipendentemente dalla complicità delle onde.

VQS Catfish Surf Series – Aviones, Puerto Rico

Posted by Salad Days On March - 25 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS

VQS Catfish Surf Series – Aviones, Puerto Rico

We arrived early Saturday morning to the sound of pouring rain and howling wind. So we zipped our raincoats, had a little pep talk and got to work. As the rain passed it was time to kick-off the Catfish surf series at Aviones in beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico with fun 3-5 foot surf. The competitors mobbed the sign up tent and when it was all said and done we were left with about 150 competitors ready to battle it out for the prizes, cash, and valuable VQS Champs qualifying spots.

The first day went off without a hitch with warm weather and great surf. The kids made it rain ketchup and mayonnaise all over the beach as the competitors chewed their way through the first rounds in all divisions. Here are some of day one standouts: In the Pro-am division Nick Rupp made quick work with a couple of 8′s and some crazy man-child turns. Lief Engstrom all the way from Long Island, NY was going huge and with big frontside air reverse early and looked to be in the running for the Electric Volt Thrower Move of the event.

Brian Toth flying through the universe on his way to winning 200,000 pennies!

Day two was epic, but with conditions a little more challenging, the competitors had their work cut out for them. Here are some of the standouts from the finals. The Squids division was amazing, these little dudes were all about the fun and didn’t even care that they were competing. Jorge Martinez proved worthy of the victory getting up on his own and cruising with style and grace. The Girls division had three first round heats jam packed with talent. When the fat lady sang it was Maria Kusmovich who beat out the competition and sealed her spot at VQS champs. The Groms in PR are at another level. This was easily one of the closest finals to go down this season. Billy Mcgarry and Mauricio Diaz battled like no other and in the end Billy couldn’t find the back-up he needed and left the door open for Mauricio, who would grab first and a grip of goodies. The Juniors division was a one man show from the mini human Noah Schwiezer. He took the early lead and never looked back as he scooped up the $250.00 provided by Muscle Milk in the process. The Pro-Am division was loaded with talent from all over the East Coast, having 12 first round heats of competition. However, local hero Brian Toth stepped up in the final and left the beach $2,000.00 richer. Thanks for everyone that made this happen and we will see y’all next year!

The Squids love to be around the energy on the beach and would almost rather spend their time covered in ketchup and mustard on the beach then in the water! Weird…

The kids will always have fun when there is a huge bouncy ball you can get inside!

Volcom’s Updated Kickflip-Off Competition – $20,000 Up For Grabs!

After much debate, Volcom has awarded Zoltan Torkos $10,00 for pulling off the first kickflip on a surfboard and has upped the stakes to $20,000 for the first surfer who nails it “above and off” the lip. Check out this video below and make sure you click over to the Kickflip-Off YouTube page where you can see all of the attempts throughout the years.

OFFICIAL RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR VOLCOM STONE’S $20,000 KICKFLIP-OFF!

Volcom is giving away $20,000 to the first person that can land a “proper” kickflip while surfing! By proper we mean an “above and off the lip” kickflip where first you bottom turn, launch an air, use your front foot to flip the board, and then land on it and ride out cleanly. No chop hops, backwash, fingerflips, grabs or laybacks. Just a proper kickflip. We’re going to be strict on these following guidelines. The rules are all listed here, so get out there and put this trick in the history books. Good luck!

Rules:
1. Your entry must be on video from the start of the trick through the ride out. No photos allowed.
2. This competition is open to everyone. The competition begins today and will run until there’s a winner.
3. The kickflip must be a proper air that begins from a bottom turn, is launched off the lip and travels above the wave. No backwash, No chop hops, or anything in the flats, from the wave face, or below the lip of the wave.
4. All waves must be self caught – You must paddle into the wave. This means NO tow-ats, step-offs, jetskis, boats, dinghys, winches, canoes, oars, helicopters, dolphins or assistance of any kind.
5. No grabs of any kind. Not before, not after, not during.
6. You must completely “ride out” of the kickflip. That means if you land on the back of the wave and fail to continue surfing the wave – it’s not a make!
7. No heelflips. Or else we’d have called it the Heelflip-Off.
8. No shoes. Who surfs in shoes anyway? Regular “made for surfing” booties are acceptable.
9. You must be riding a real surfboard with at least one fin. No boogie boards, softboards, wakeboards, wakeskates, skimboards, kiteboards, trays etc.

On the road with PC episode 2

ON THE ROAD WITH PC EPISODE 2

It was a great honor to be invited by some Tahitian surfing legends for a trip to one of Polynesia’s most beautiful pearls, the Tuamotu islands. PC had a blast sharing sessions and good times with Hira Teriinatoofa, Michel Bourez, Alain Riou, Steven Pierson and Teiva Mare. A one-week intensive camp with world class waves and surfers; surfing all day, eating raw fish, and playing games of chess. Although the wind made it a challenge to ride, this long hollow right gracefully delivered its best to the most committed surfers. With a 6’5 pintail as his only option, PC had no choice but to draw longer lines, extending his bottom turns as to caress this Polynesian Queen, while the others tickled her with their 6’0′s. Back to Teahupoo…a week later; in big unruly waves, Raimana Van Bastolaer launches PC into his first ever “step-off”. Just one wave…PC gets barreled and comes out with dry hair and a big smile!
Looking forward to our Next adventure in Hawaii…

R.I.P. Sion Milosky

R.I.P. Sion Milosky

It’s with a very heavy heart that we bid farewell to Hawaiian family man and big wave surfer Sion Milosky. After a wipeout and a two wave hold down at Mavericks, Sion passed away. Words can’t begin to describe how saddened we are by this loss.
Sion‘s first passion was his wife and kids and surfing giant waves was his second. Never before had we seen such an amazing surge of coverage from any surfer in a period of less than two years. If Sion set out to do something he would do it, no questions asked. His spirit of Aloha was unmatched and whenever you were around him you couldn’t help but feel good in his presence. Our sincere condolences go out to Sion‘s family and friends.

GOD SPEED Sion!! You will be greatly missed!!
Aloha!

VQS Blowfish Surf Series – Seaside Reef, Cardiff, California

The Blowfish Surf Series has always had a huge crowd of competitors, and with this being the last event of the season, nothing could prepare us for the tornado that was coming. After postponing the event on Saturday due to crazy weather and flat surf we showed up bright and early Sunday to waves being a playful 3-4 feet and ready to get this party started. As sign-ups rolled along, we realized we were close to 200 competitors and we still haven’t signed up everyone. After some more educated planning and shuffling, we were under way with over 240 competitors. The day rolled along and before we new it was time to dive in to the finals.

Here are some recaps from the finals. The girls had their hands full with some of the best talent from all over the state. When the dust settled it was Kulia Doherty winning in dominating fashion. The Squids had a great turn out and are more concerned with covering each other in flour then getting their price bags. Dagen Stagg finally took his first victory of the year and a heap of prizes from Volcom, Electric, Globe, and much more. The Grom dudes had there work cut out for them and with Taylor Clark in the mix you better bring you’re A game. Taylor found a way to hold everyone off again and racked up his third title of the season! The Junior’s had 8 first round heats and were as pumped as the Squids all day. In the end, Ian Craine beat out the other 47 entrants and grabbed the $250.00 from Muscle Milk. The Pro-am proved to be the battle of the day with 96 competitors in the first round. We all knew we were in for a show when the finals came around. Frothing Michel Flores came to do business and it payed off as he nudging out Cory Arrambide for 1st and $500.00 cold hard cash!

With such terrible conditions on Saturday, it was a good call to postpone till Sunday. Here, the beautiful Seaside Reef overview Sunday morning before the event got under way.

Spencer Regan‘s needed a big finish at this event to qualify for the VQS World Champs. He wound up in third place which gave him the points he needed to qualify for the 2011 VQS champs.

This was Taylor‘s third 1st place finish this season. And besides the massive amount of prize he won, he also claimed the Electric Volt Thrower move of the event and $100 cash.

Ian Crane was all grins after winning the Juniors final and $250 from Muscle Milk.

Michel Flores was on a mission, and you could tell he was focused to make the VQS Champs in May.

1. Michel Flores – $500.00

Volcom’s Kickflip-Off Competition Still On – $10,000 Up For Grabs!

Last Friday, March 4th, 2011, Zoltan Torkos from Santa Cruz, CA technically pulled the first documented kickflip on a surfboard. Everyone at Volcom is thrilled to see Zoltan‘s efforts and consider him to be leading the pack in the race for the $10,000 prize. Rule #3 of the Kickflip-Off states: “The kickflip must be a real air ‘above the lip’ – No backwash, No chop hops, or anything in the flats or below the lip of the wave.” With that said, Zoltan‘s kickflip is clearly below the lip and not a real air. Zoltan has pulled the first kickflip on a surfboard, but the $10,000 still remains up for grabs. We called Zoltan with our decision and he replied, “I’m not here to argue against your decision, but I am here to revolutionize surfing.” We are stoked on Zoltan and his reaction to our call. He wants to dedicate his kickflip to the memory of his lost friend Carl Reimer, and he says the money is his and he will keep trying for the $10K. Making a kickflip on a surfboard IS possible, Zoltan proved it. We anticipate seeing the winning kickflip in the near future.
