Pipe Masters 2010

Once a year I get to design the Billabong Pipe Masters contest site. Its a big thing to me seeing that 1000's of people will see my work. When I first started graphic design I never thought it would lead to this. Its really cool to be able to say I design the contest site for the biggest surfing event in the world. So with that I just wanted to share with you some of the work.

The Tower from the water

Camera Tower side

In Hawaii if you can't make it down to the beach you can watch the contest on HD cable TV.

Main Entrance to the event

Sunset Side of the Tower

I also wanted to show you what you get if you win the contest. This is a hand shaped Bolt board by Mr Pipeline Gerry Lopez and hand painted by Phil Roberts. It has this 24 gold leaf bottom. I wish I had the talent to win this beauty.

Well Enjoy and check out the webcast of the event and see some of my work

Christmas Came Early This Year

So every year I like to get a new board (sometimes two). I normally do it for Xmas or my birthday and call it my gift to myself. But when I saw this beauty marked down to $275 at a discount sale I couldn't pass it up. So I decided I have been a good little boy this year and Christmas was going to come a little early this year. I have not had a quad like this in almost two years. And I am so stoked on it that I made this short little video to show you some of its best qualities. Hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoy surfing my new magic carpet!!!

Opening Day at Mavs.

So this came into the office today.

Its Shane's board from opening day at Mavericks. Famous Nor Cal big wave spot.

Here's what the wave looks like from the shore.

Now I like big waves as much as the next guy. But when a wave can break a board as thick as my hand . I think I will just watch from the channel.

The Heat Is On

Ok so its November right well it doesn't seem like it. And let me tell you why...

It's 100 degrees outside.

So what do you do. Well if your me you take a long lunch and go for a surf. And it makes it even easier to do when the swell looks like this.

and when the swell sticks around all week and the weather stays warm what else would happen but take friday off and spend it all day here

I LOVE THAT I LIVE SO CLOSE TO THE BEACH,

AND HAVE SUCH A PERFECT JOB THAT I CAN LIVE THIS LIFE!
