Chopes

There had been some movement amongst the big wave movement on Twitter the last few days with people like Laird Hamilton and Maya Gabeira tweeting from airports. The results have been slowly coming through on the net.

This video is ten minutes of pretty raw footage which shows the swell build and the crowd drop. The others are shorter

Big waves

Not here though ! I just got out from a twilight handboard in 6" wind chop. There is a rumour of a spike tomorrow but it looks short and really south. The winds don't look great either but it will be worth keeping an eye on.

Meanwhile in Portugal Garrett McNamara has caught some of the biggest waves anywhere ever. It was here that he claimed the world record and this looks much bigger.

Bit of video with very wanky music !

Surf Movie Sunday

Not much to pick from this week either

Some big waves on the east



Yanks in WA and NZ



Josh Kerr in Indo

Code Red online

Billabong has release the HD version of its Code Red Tahiti video on YouTube. Amazing quality footage of one of the biggest days surfed at Chopes. Worth spending the 15 minutes watching.

Night Surfing

This video has been every where the last couple of days including the nightly news. Obviously Jaws isn't scary enough by its self.
