Surfing at the best of times can prove challenging for most, but at night?
Nike 6.0 have stepped it up in approaching competition surfing with adding a huge twist. ‘Lets make it at night time!!!’
Held at England’s surf hub; Fistral beach, Newquay, this is going to be a very special event. The hottest European surfers will be there competing in a range of divisions for a share of £15,000 prize pot.
Nike 6.0 arealso going to be hosting’cash for tricks’ . A 5 star event which basically does exactly as it says; boost a big air, nail a huge reverse or rail a huge floater and your in with a chance of bagging some money for your efforts.
If your in the area on July 8th – 9th take a look. Theres going to be plenty going on and a day/night out for all.
Whilst the men on the ASP are heading over to Jeffreys Bay, SA, the women are getting ready to flock over to Biarritz, France.
The home of European surfing, Biarritz will play host to the ASP Womens Longboard event and the ASP World Title event.
With the world title race officially on, Carrisa Moore seems to be extended the gap between poll position and the rest of the field. If all the elements combine, the young Hawaiian has the chance to bag the title at this early stage in Biarritz.
Tour ripper Laura Enever has been chilling with just one week to go. Taking a little time-out from the World Tour pressures is sometimes needed. Although she has bagged herself a few sweet little waves at the same time-off course!!
Check her out here sucking helium, smashing some waves, and visiting the Nike 6.0 HQ.
Day 1 highlight
An ASP Prime event located in Ballito, South Africa. The comp kicked off on Monday with some immense conditions. Over-head, dredging barrels rifled down the point breaking boards and ego’s.
It also saw some of the worlds best surfers get slotted in some huge barrels. Stand out of the day had to be Kolohe Andino. The 17 year old got the barrel of his life and was justifiably rewarded with a perfect 10 point ride. Andino said “I’m on such high right now,” “These are some of the best waves I’ve surfed in my life!” .
Kolohe is on a roll at the minute coming off a win at the Quiksilver USA surfing championships in Cali. Everyone has big dreams for this boy, keep your eyes pealed.
The excelllent swell is set to continue. The entire surfing world will soon be setting up camp in South Africa as the ASP Billabong Pro at Jefferys bay kicks off next week. Who you got your money on, Slater, Jordy, Parko?
No more do surf magazines require writing. Why? Because thanks to people like Stuart Gibson, the photographs do the talking.
There are plenty of surfers out there with a camera strapped around their neck trying to make a quick buck. Yet there are a select few that sit far above the majority. Gibson is up there with the best, top shelf material, Mt. Everest altitude, Eifel tower high- you get the point!
Being a world-class surf photographer you clearly need two things at your disposal; Crazy waves and crazy surfers. Gibson has both only a stones throw away from his doorstep.
He hails from the wild, rugged region of Tasmania, Australia. This beautiful yet difficult region is battered by huge storms, thus producing serious waves of consequence. This is not Hawaii, the surf community is small, tight, and have to brave the elements on a regular basis to score. Also, they are no pussycats, they take huge beatings at spots you would only watch from dry land.
Anyway let’s get to the snaps. Stuart has been photographing possibly the heaviest wave in the world;Shipsterns Bluff, so watch out for those ones.
This is just a fraction of what Stuart Gibson has to offer, please check out his sites at
Oh wait, you cannot be missing the runner-up also, Tory Meister (great name I know) , who bagged 2nd place to Peter Devries with this lovely little adaptation of your traditional surf flick. Never before have I seen a guy so casually strut around in the buff and not give a damm. Respect Tory!!!!
