The local Bodyboard crew have been having one of the best summers in living memory in Cape Town.   Even with the sub zero water and large predators at hand, it is hard not to love our cold water wonderland when huge tubes are on offer weekly. The waves have been so good from Llandudno to the Tand, that the boys have put together a new 2013 video, so check out the teaser...

Meet Pro Surfer Tyler Wright - Charging P Pass

Tyler Wright has been caning the women's Pro Tour, including winning the season opener at Snapper Rocks this month. But it was the footage from this session at the infamous P Pass that really got my attention. The wave is big, super hollow and runs like a freight train. No problems for this gal, with brother Owen shouting support, she charges some monster pits!

South African Bodyboarder, Jared Houston, has been making name on the IBA World Tour and in his free surfs around the planet. They guy has the whole package. Big tubes, technical tricks and of course massive punts - don't believe me, just check out his recent trip to Mexico...

The surf session that has changed all the rules! Fiji Freight Trains 2012

They will be calling it the session and the day, that what was possible in paddle surfing, was rewritten. Sound epic and grandiose? Well it was...

Twig, Kelly and John John have called it that and they are the three surfers whose judgement on things ridiculous in surfing, I trust the most. Just watch the video from the water and understand what I am harping on about...



Then back it up with these angles. Your jaw on the ground yet?

Massive Cloubreak Free Surf on Day 6 - Volcom Pro Fiji 2012

The massive swell arrived as expected, but the contest only lasted 2 heats, with Bede and Kai Otton winning the heats and moving into Round 3. The ASP made the call to wait for today to start Round 3, which will probably go down at Restaurants. Once the tour had puled out, the hordes of big wave charges were out there, with some of the more core Tour surfers joining the fray in solid 15ft Cloudbreak. Luckily the contest left the live feed running and we got to watch a rare free surf in giant waves. Enjoy the video...

 

Who is JOB 2.0 - Episode 5, Pipeline Madness

Episode 5 of JOB 2.0, brought to you by Red Bull, and the show keeps up the madness that is Jamie O'Brian's life. From doing transfers on a longboard to short board at massive pipeline, getting owned by his cat, narrowly losing out to John John Florence at the Volcom and caning the Pipeline tube of the day switch foot, JOB is charging on his new web show.

Jamie O'Brien tries a new technique by paddling out on his longboard and then dropping in his short board to ride the wave. Later, despite despite the warnings of his feline friend he goes all the way to the finals of the Volcom Pipe Pro for an epic showdown down to the last second with John John.

Mick Fanning and thumping P-Pass

Mick Fanning warmed up for the Quik Pro with some serious tubes at P-Pass. He makes it look so easy, but believe me, those are some deadly dangerous tubes! 

Mutant Pipeline on Day 3 of the Volcom Pipe Pro 2012

Monster Pipe Tubes were the call for the day! Balram Stack from NY charging... (Photo: ASP)

 Day 3 of the Pipe Pro and it was one third carnage to two thirds mutant tubes! The Saffers woke up to monster Pipeline and the chirps were flying thick and fast on twitter and FB between the North Shore and South Africa. We had three guys in Round 3, Shaun Joubert, Brandon Jackson and Rudy Palmboom. None made it through the round, but watching their heats it was easy to see they tried their best. The waves were huge, scary and all over the show and none of the boys let team SA down. Personally, I would have been terrified just sitting on the beach, where a number of spectators got washed into the shore break! The final day will be posted as soon as the web video goes live.
