Morgan Just Wins 2010 World Championships of Skimboarding

By: Teddy Parker

Congratulations to Morgan Just for winning the 2010 World Championships of Skimboarding hosted this past weekend at Aliso Beach. Morgan has been killing it for so long and with the absence of injuries nothing held him back from taking the world title this year.

Another congrats is extended to Anna Prophet, winner of the first official professional division for women. May I be so cliche as to say there's something you can tell your grandchildren...

Here's a video of Morgan Just, in case you were wondering what it takes to win such a contest:

"Record" for Largest Wave Ever Ridden Trivializes Big-Wave Surfing

A return to old-school measuring techniques is in order

Consider two representations of two very big waves, below. The first is a photograph of Mike Parsons at Cortes Bank. The second is a video of Garrett McNamara near Nazare, Portugal. Now take out some measuring tape and make the distance of one foot between your hands. That's the amount, according to the Billabong XXL committee, that McNamara's wave is bigger than Parsons's wave.
