Getting lucky is great, but when your luck involves escaping a shark encounter unscathed, it’s time to hit the lotto. Check out Mike Lopez‘ footage and interview of Eric Geiselman’s close encounter at Surfline.
Love him or hate him, Jamie O’Brien is a pretty amazing surfer. With his on board skills, oversized personality and Vincent Laforet behind the lens, this movie should be insane. Check out the new trailer for Who is J.O.B.? and wait anxiously like the rest of us for the movie to drop.
Mick Fanning wins for the third time this season at the 2009 Rip Curl Pro Search in Peniche, Portugal at Supertubos. Check the ASP press release, and if you missed any of the surfing you can see it at Rip Curl. Congrats Mick!

Transworld Surf has one of the most annoying websites ever. First there is this guy who talks to you all the time, kind of like those Gatorade commercials that were running for a bit. Then there is this video which I saw being advertised on there. I feel like you could probably do some push-ups and maybe some yoga and just call it a day but who knows, I’m no Paul Hiniker.
1. Tucks.
2. Pushing.
3. The after session beverage.
4. Coffee before you go on a trip.
5. Sitting on the couch waiting for everyone.
6. Gas Stations at 3 AM in the Midwest.
7. Drinking in ratty motels.
8. Long downhill manuals to nowhere.
9. Riding that spot from when you were a kid.
10. Make your own #10.
For some reason, I’m into this. The song selection are a little weird but I guess in all reality it’s better than some fake surf rock that would have been the other option. It’s also interesting to think that even then normal kids cruising waves were taking movies of themselves just doing their thing, for themselves.
