Here is the second episode in Red Bull's Who is J.O.B. 2.0, which follows Jamie O'brien's 2011/2012 North Shore season.

The first episode covered Haleiwa and Sunset, and now we have a look at the event of Jamie's season, the Pipe Masters.

Despite being considered the favorite out at pipe by many people, including himself, Jamie fell short of hoisting another Pipe Masters trophy this season.

Body Glove wanted to reinforce the Smoothies brand in the minds of consumers and felt that a new, creative ad campaign was the lynch pin in achieving that goal.

The ads depict a series of scenes in which a model wears a Smoothies bikini in an unexpected context such as a kitchen or living room. The objects that surround her are all the exact same color as her swimsuit, painting a surreal yet playful picture of a young woman experiencing her world for that brief moment in her favorite Smoothies hue.



"We wanted to communicate the feeling a woman gets when she buys a new piece of clothing that she loves. She brings it home, takes it out of the shopping bag, and tries it on. Whether she is anywhere near the beach at the time is secondary. For that short moment, she is experiencing her new purchase and making it her own. There's an element of imagination and excitement there that we wanted to reinforce with this campaign" said Noah Gellis, Vice President of Body Glove Sales and Marketing for swimwear and apparel.

The new Body Glove Smoothies campaign will appear in surf publications and fashion magazines beginning in January 2012.

For more than four decades, legendary ocean explorer Jean-Michel Cousteau has dedicated himself and his vast experience to communicate to people of all nations and generations his love and concern for our water planet. He founded Ocean Futures Society in 1999 to carry on the pioneering work of his family. Ocean Futures Society is a non-profit marine conservation and education organization designed to serve as a "Voice for the Ocean" by communicating in all media the critical bond between people and the sea and the importance of wise environmental policy.

Recently Cousteau and Body Glove launched a new line of wetsuits, rash guards, skins and other active lifestyle products that unite the distinctive designs and colors made famous by Cousteau with a percentage of the sales of each Cousteau Body Glove wetsuit to go to preserving and protecting the oceans through the vital work of Ocean Futures Society.

Body Glove recently released a video with Cousteau shedding light to why he decided to form a relationship with the brand Body Glove.



Cousteau has always been one who understand the use of the media. If he wants to get a message out to the masses, what better way than to use the people who spend the most time in the water as ambassadors such as Surfers.

The best way to preserve the quality of our oceans is through the people who care about the Ocean the most. It's not an easy fight solo but with the help from us all the fight becomes less of a battle.

Hopefully with Cousteau on board as a member of the Body Glove team one of his first assignments will be to educate surfer Jamie O'Brien the correct way to treat sea turtles.

Here's a sneak peak at the 2012 collaboration.

Our comrades over at Body Glove just sat down with rider Alex Gray to discuss his summer exploits. Turns out the guy had a real hum-dinger, scoring standout performances during the two biggest swells of the season in Tahiti and Fiji, swells which will be talked about for a long time to come. The fiji swell was enough to keep Kelly Slater out J-Bay, and the Tahiti swell so big they had to call off the contest.

Easily the biggest Cloudbreak and Teahupoo ever surfed, and Alex nabbed bombs on both days. Respect.
