Empty Perfection amongst the madness! (Photo: Dunbar)

Its a dredging sandbank in the heart of the chaos that is the Gold Coast. It's bred multiple world champions and countless super stars. The day after the Quiksilver Pro it turned on for the many that had been waiting and what a show it was...

Danny MacAskill vs. San Francisco

The man has an ethereal talent for making the simple act of riding a bicycle look magical. He has made trial biking a highly watched internet sensation and continues to blow us away every video release. Danny Macaskill is definitely a legend!

Commentating Billabong SA Champs over the weekend.

The show this week was all about surfing and the Billabong SA Champs that went down over the weekend in Cape Town. I was joined by finalists Dan Redman, Open Mens and Tarryn Chudleigh, Open Woman, as well as Under 20 Boys Winner, Mikey February. Big Wave surfer, Frank Solomon, joined us just to add some "drama", in the form of his chirping with Dan. Great music, good talk and awesome times...

Billabong XXL Awards 2012 - The Winners

The 2012 XXL Awards went down last week (Due to my holiday, I am reporting late on this) and the ultimate prize went to Nathan Fletcher for his mind boggling wave at Teahupoo last year. I am still struggling to figure out how a wave not ridden out won, but hell it was crazy! Fletcher won the "Ride of the Year" and the "Monster Tube" awards with this wave. He also took the overall Men's Performance Award. So a good night for Nathan.

The 2012 "Monster Paddle Award" went to Hawaiian, Dave Wassel, for a huge wave earlier in the year at Jaws in Maui.There were stacks of entries from December and January from Jaws, as the world's big wave surfers descended on the previous Tow Surf Spot.

"Biggest Wave Champion" went to Hawaiian, Garrett MacNamara, for his "90"ft ride off the coast of Portugal in 2011. Many thought this wave looked very soft, but the size judges cleared it as the biggest wave caught. Garrett also took the "Verizon Wipeout of the Year" award for a horrible bail at massive Jaws. He was trying to surf the "JetBoard" and went over the falls backwards on a monster of a wave.

Joining them were two of SA's top young wake champs, Dylan Mitchell and Dale Nieuwstad, looking forward to the SA Wake Champs this weekend in Cape Town. Dale recently won the European and African Champs Wakeskate Title and Dylan is looking to beat his friend in this weekend's comp. Twig and Kate gave us the lowdown on their travels the last year and we all took a little inspiration from Twig - the wake kids were stoked to meet him.

Shaun White rides a perfect 100 point ride gets the X Games Five Peats

The flying tomato, Shaun White, proves that he is the best Pipe rider in the world at X Games 2012, with a perfect 100 point ride. This took the gold for Shaun which also meant he took the first ever X Games Winter Five Peats. (Meaning he has won the Superpipe Gold 5 times now.) Those not clued up on Snowboarding may wonder why he got a perfect score for this run. Its simple, huge elevation (Take a look how far out the Pipe he is on his first setup air.), two perfect double corks (Meaning he is rotating off axis) and an absolutely flawless run, with no wobbles or sketches. The man is the king! For more X Games madness check out their YouTube.

Jordy Smith's Top 10 waves in 2010

Number 1 in 2010?

Ok, so we are fast approaching the start of the ASP World Tour at Snapper Rocks and I thought it would be nice to look at our very own Mr Smith's top 10 waves of 2010. He came in at number 2 last year, but after watching him surf the last month in the Cape area, I am feeling good about a SA World Champion in 2010.
