SkuffTV Episode 12

In this hair-lipped Skuff TV special we say "goodbye Movember, hello Beardcember!" joining the Movember Foundation at their Morning of the Mo' surf-comp where single fins are a must, leggies an unfair advantage and retro-styled moves are the order of the day. We've got more entries in Waves Mag's Black Night Awards too - check em out and don't forget to vote on who you reckon deserves the crown of Australia's best freesurfer. More surf action as we take a look at what makes Pipe so goddam spesh in the lead-up to next week's Billabong Pipeline Masters event. And in Muzik; we head along to one of the many Movember gala parties that went on around the nation to round out the month of cookie-dusters... braving busted dunnies and backstage beer-theft to catch up with the bad girl of roots music Dallas Frasca.
