ECSC

No waves is what you can expect at the ECSC events held in the past, but this year tropical storm Danny spun its way right off the mid-Atlantic coast kicking up some fun chest high surf for this years contest.The 47th annual ECSC event had the help of Coastal Edge taking on the title sponsor making this years event better then ever! Some of the tops brands had their tents up passing out free swag, playing games and hanging out in the sun....LOST team rider Aaron Cormican was on fire all weekend long. Aaron surfs with more power and flow and can do just about any air out there. Plus with all the surf lately he's been warming up at NSB inlet. Good boards and a motivated attitude will make big things happen. The win- his 4th in the last 5 years at the ECSC, puts him as the best ever ECSC surfer. How many has Wes Laine won???Other standouts throughout the weekend was the Monster Energy/Vans vert ramp, which brought in world class BMX and skateboard demos from skaters like Bucky Lasek, Neal Hendrix, Rob Lorifice and more. ...LOST and the crew would like to give a big shout out to D, and Coastal Edge for a great weekend of fun! Check out footage and photos of what really went on in Virginia beach and at the ...LOST tent.

"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.
