Surf Movie Reveiws : Archy Built For Speed - Surf Movie

 Archy Built for SpeedArchy Built for Speed

Archy Built for Speed
A great movie, showing the life of one of surfing true legends. A lot of younger people won't remember Archy when he was on the circuit, but this is a movie that will suit any age.
The good times and the bad, Archy had them all, but always pulled through with his 'I don't care what people think' approach. One thing Archy says about pro surfing in the movie is that in pro surfing you had to pump the board at the end and ride the whitewash....Archy's comment was "why would you do that?" |

BANZAI PIPELINE, Oahu/Hawaii (Saturday, December 10, 2011) – Kieren Perrow (AUS), 34, has won his inaugural ASP World Tour event, taking out the Billabong Pipe Masters in Memory of Andy Irons over fellow countrymen Joel Parkinson (AUS), 30, in four-to-six foot waves. John John Florence (HAW), 19, also found his way to the podium as the overall winner of the 2011 Vans Triple Crown.
Perrow, who finished runner-up to Jeremy Flores (FRA), 23, in last year’s Billabong Pipe Masters, returned to form again this year and charged the massive Pipeline conditions on the opening two days of competition to solidify his position on the 2012 ASP World Tour. The Australian was equally deadly in the smaller conditions on the final day and commanded the Final against Parkinson in a backdoor shootout to secure his maiden ASP World Tour victory.

I thought I would reach out to you and share our new Infographic that we have been working really hard on called The Toxicity of Surfing.
The importance of keeping beaches clean cannot be stressed enough. Hidden in plain sight, the surf industry is wasteful and toxic. It is our goal to educate Surfers and help them make smarter decisions with what they ride. We hope that you would be willing to help us spread the word!

The International Surfing Association is proud to announce the first edition of the ISA World Bodyboarding Championship. The event is confirmed to take place at the waves of El Frontón and la Guancha (Galdar City) in the Canary Islands, Spain from November 30 until December 4, 2011.
The ISA World Bodyboarding Championship was conceived to give all the bodyboarders in the world their own event to demonstrate their excellence. After two years of evaluating venues, the Executive Committee of the ISA decided that the "European Hawaii" was the right place to make this happen.
"We're proud to launch this new ISA signature event," said ISA President, Fernando Aguerre. "Just like in 2003 when the ISA launched our Juniors-only event and it was a huge success, we're confident the WBC will have a great turnout. We are excited to go back to Europe to host a World Championship event."

 Sharks suddenly more conspicuous at Hawaii's beaches There's no clear reason for increased sightings and attack, experts say
 Photo: Shark attack survivor - Todd Murashige shows the size of the shark's head, which he says was between 18 inches and 2 feet wide.
Advertiser Staff Writer
Sharks seem to be coming close to shore a lot lately.
For the past week, up to 15 large tiger sharks have lingered along five miles of the Big Island's Kohala Coast, near the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, coming within 20 yards of shore.
Several beaches have been closed on O'ahu in the past two weeks because of sightings.
And a shark attacked a surfer Tuesday at a popular Ka'a'awa surf spot called Crouching Lion.
