Parko Flips Kelly the Bird
By now everyone has seen either the highlights or the photo (below) of Joel Parkinson flipping a mid-barrel bird to Kelly Slater who, using priority, is about to drop-in on Parko and prevent him from getting the high score he needed. Surfing Life caught up with both surfers right after the final heat and got their thoughts of what went down. All in all both surfers took it in stride and had a laugh about it. That’s exactly the kind of sportsmanship I love to see. More »
Kelly Slater Wins 2013 Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast
If you happened to miss finals day at the 2013 Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, you should be kicking yourself. Following a series of uneventful lay days at Snapper Rocks, the contest moved down to Kirra for its abundant, near-perfect, spitting barrels and a series of finals that kept everyone on the edge of their seat. It was in Kirra’s classically hollow tubes that Kelly Slater ousted Joel Parkinson and snatched the first victory of the season. More »
The 2013 ASP World Tour Preview
Last year proved to be an insane time for surfing. It was the first time Joel Parkinson ever won a world title, beating out 11x World Champion super-athlete Kelly Slater. On the women’s side, Carissa Moore fell off the grid and Stephanie Gilmore took advantage of the absence by winning her fifth world title. The 2012 tour marked a shift in the surf industry. The world inhaled as the ASP announced it would be selling media rights for the 2014 tour. In November, Nike announced that it would be transferring its surfers to Hurley, and in an inevitable tragedy, Billabong also declared bankruptcy. But 2012 is done and this year’s tour is going to be a wild ride. Take a look at some of the factors that could make the 2013 ASP World Tour one for the books. More »
Kelly Slater’s Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast Quiver
The buzz around whether or not Kelly Slater would be retiring dropped off not long after the 2012 tour ended. The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast is just around the corner and with Kelly’s name listed in the heat match-ups and the quiver preview by Channel Islands it’s safe to say that Kelly will be competing this year. Check out what he’ll be riding at Snapper Rocks. More »
Real Surf Added To XGames 2013 Lineup
Before you all go crazy, Real Surf is not exactly a surfing competition. Instead, it’s more about the art that goes into creating highly sharable, and infinitely watchable, surf videos. The X Games “Real Series” are video competitions for action sports. After the astonishing success of the Real Snow and Real Skate versions, surfing was added to the mix. More »

Mavericks Invitational 2013 Big Wave Contest
For the first time in three years, surfers will be able to compete at the legendary big wave break, Mavericks. The Mavericks Invitational is a one-day-only contest running on Sunday, Jan. 20 at 8 a.m. at Pillar Point in Half Moon Bay, Calif. There has not been a contest at Mavericks in quite some time due to a lack of “contest-worthy” conditions. However, in a press release, competitor Shawn Dollar said the incoming swell looks insane!

Kelly Slater And Angus Stone Collaborate On “Here And Now” Soundtrack
If Kelly Slater decides to forego a 12th world title in 2013, he might have a promising music career–that is when he’s not busy with his wave pool project. I always imagined Kelly strumming along with a little ukelele watching the sets roll in, but I was unaware of his advanced music talents. Kelly teamed up with Australian folk singer, and fellow surfer, Angus Stone to lay tracks for Taylor Steele’s “Here And Now.” More »
