Nothing to see here

Fri 1 November 7:27am

It wasn't just who was in the water, however, but the juicy subplots at play: the two remaining World Title aspirants duking it out at big Cloudbreak, the site of a match up they had earlier in the year. So who got the best of it, Mick or Kelly?

Out of town

Toby Manson
Tue 29 October 10:11am

Ain't nothing like a succesful out of town mission.

On Sunday, photographer Toby Manson and sidekick Sam Jones set the alarm early, scarfed a bowl of ceral and hit the highway before sunrise. Their window of opportunity was limited.

As I type many of the world's best surfers are winging their way toward Fiji. Parko, Mick, Slater, Dorian,  Anthony Walsh, Mick Freeman (who?). All of them chasing a south swell that formed in the Southern Ocean late last week.

Peruvian emigre, Ignacio 'Spud' Salazar, recently flew back to Peru to compete in the Big Wave World Tour contest at Pico Alto. The comp was cancelled due the lack of waves, but Spud manage to find some fun waves along the north coast of Peru.

While a behind the scenes shot of photographer Warren Keelan would likely show him rolling around in a shorebreak, camera in hand, sand in every orifice, the work he creates conjurs more than mere levity or amusement.

Destination Unknown

Matt Mackay

It's been a while since Matt Mackay has taken any surf photos. These days he's captivated by more sublime images: raw nature, landscapes, that kinda thing. And that was what Matt was chasing early on Sunday morning.

Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal: Finals Day

ASP/Kirstin
Fri 18 October 12:00am

Fair to say most people gave their attention to Mick's world title run yesterday: would he claim it in Portugal? Most people that is, but not all. When Kai Otton was asked after his Round 5 heat if he'd be throwing the title-deciding Quarter Final against Mick, his reply was telling. "No way, I want to win one of these comps myself!"

Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal: Day 3

ASP/Kirstin
Thu 17 October 12:00am

The biggest air in contest history? The second biggest..? Who knows, but Julian Wilson's Round 3 oop against CJ Hobgood was a fine effort, and if it didn't eclipse John John's Balinese version it went awfully close.

The new Surfing Australia boardrider comp got off to a freight-training start last weekend. Waitpinga, on South Australia's south coast, turned on blue moon barrels for competitors and non-competitors alike.

Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal: Day 2

ASP/Kirstin
Tue 15 October 12:00am

Bet you weren't expecting that, eh? Know I wasn't. Slater goes down in Round 2 to a local wildcard registering his first 25th of the season. With that result he almost certainly hands the world title to Mick Fanning (if Mick gets third or better he wins at Portugal, if not the decider happens at Pipe).
