Kolohe Andino Adds the Rip Curl Grom Search Title to His List...
Brother nabs another national title
Dana Point, Calif. -- San Clemente's Kolohe Andino added another gem to his mantle Saturday by winning the U16 division of the Rip Curl Grom Search National Final at Salt Creek. As expected "Brother" tapped his full arsenal of progressive moves, including a rash of aerial reverses and a text book shove-it to revert that won him the H20 Maneuver of the Day Award, en route to his victory over Hawaii's Nathan Carvalho. Andino pocketed $500 for the win, plus a new Nintendo Wii and and extra.. More >
Groveling on Day One of the Reef Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa
The waves are everywhere but right here
There's more swell on the North Shore right now than most of us know what do with. Trouble is, barely a lick of it is hitting Alii Beach Park, the home of the frontrunner of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, the Reef Hawaiian Pro. Aroused by a bit of west and some sweet talk, Haleiwa lay strangely dormant for the opening day of the million-dollar series today, with some meager 2- to 3-foot lumps showing themselves from time to time while triple-overhead sets donated themselves out to the..

Oceanside's Huge Surf Festival to Celebrate 50 Years of Surfer Magazine
Film and Music Festival to Include Golden Anniversary Gathering
Some of the most unique cultural experiences in surfing are those rare uniting of our various tribes.

California's surfing community has always been a.. More >

Owen Wright

Is He the World's Most Dangerous Goofyfooter?

Owen's Wright Stuff
19-year-old Owen Wright is having the year of his life. Back home in Australia, he's gone undefeated in Pro Junior competitions. While most of his fellow competitors have surfed in nine events, Wright has only surfed in six, yet that hasn't prevented him from establishing a ridiculous 2000 point lead. The only reason he hasn't won all six times is he had to rush out of a few events early to make it to his next WQS event. Wright has carried his dominance onto the WQS, where he's already secured a spot on next year's world tour. And if you're wondering how he'll do once he gets there...well, don't. Wright beat Slater twice this year in as many tries. He just finished third at the Rip Curl Pro Search in Portugal, too, and might have gone all the way had he not blown out his eardrum in his quarterfinal heat. This guy will be feared next year...and rightfully so.
