TEAHUPOO-Biggest Ever

Birdie the Boardie — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 07:13:49 +0000

TEAHUPOO-Biggest Ever

This day at Teahupoo- Aug 27th 2011 during the Billabong Pro waiting period is what many are calling the biggest and gnarliest Teahupoo ever ridden. Chris Bryan was fortunate enough to be there working for Billabong on a day that will go down in the history of big wave surfing. The French Navy labeled this day a double code red prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone that entered the water.
Kelly Slater described the day by saying “witnessing this was a draining feeling being terrified for other people’s lives all day long, it’s life or death. Letting go of that rope one time can change your life and not many people will ever experience that in their life.”

SUPERFISH II Traditional Polyester Model

Birdie the Boardie — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 02:56:30 +0000

SUPERFISH II Traditional Polyester Model

Arguably the best ever Superfish model surfboard ever sold, with a million sales world wide, to date.

The latest Superish is a totally new model, with a new bottom contours that run single from the nose to double to the fins, that provide extra drive, lift, just plain faster than the last model Superfish. To increase lift off the tail the fliers are more defined than before allowing greater release and helping the boards speed.

The great buoyancy is still achieved with the step deck that has always been a feature on this model and again doesn’t hinder the rail performance.

Strength gains in production in the tail are with the extra glass and bead layer around the fins and over the edge.

Fin set up is still the 5 fin system in FCS and5 fins are included. Board pictured is available at Surf-Shop in all sizes and limited numbers in the FFCarbon Rail, and the Epoxy X-2 is available from the 15 Jan.

You are invited in to check them out at Surf Shop Peregian Beach Sunshine Coast.

“McTavish Fireball Epic is Evert Harders instore model at Surf Shop Peregian Beach. Surf Shop Peregian booked Sunnycoast Klips out for a session up at a favourite break, Granite Bay. Although the waves were’nt excellent, some reasonable footage was filmed, and Evert made the most of his time and had a good go surfing the Fireball Epic in tricky conditions. Good to see the young man out there having a go at 62 years of age”…Sunnycoast Klips.

Happy Customer Steve Cheong

Steve came in with a few questions. Ticking all the boxes, the 7S model from Global Surf Industries certainly fit the bil, and Steve from Coolum Signworks, is a happy surfer that couldn’t wait to get his brand new retro style 7S board in the water,… probably cover and all.

Happy Steve Cheong all bagged up and ready to go.

Mick Fanning Video’s

Mick Fanning
Just “fanning” the web pages and video blogs for a bit of interesting footage to share, and came across a couple of videos of Mick Fanning. One was footage of Fanning courtesy of Steve Maloney of Sunnycoast Klips here on the Sunshine Coast, and the other by Mick Fanning him self from the Goldie that shares an interesting concept of surfing.
Just a little tad different to river surfing. Check out the tidal surges! Woosh!!
Hope you “like” both clips

SLAB HUNTERS-West Oz

Birdie the Boardie — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 06:14:38 +0000

SLAB HUNTERS
Big Waves West Oz
Just recently another hugh swell hit the Southwest Western Aust. coastline and a bunch of incredible surfers again risked their lives for a big thrill and the video mastery of Tim Bonython caught it.
The dangerous area is located about one kilometre off the coast so not too far away to string a few days together for locals and “slab hunters” alike’
Can’t really say if this is one of the worlds greatest waves, but it sure stood out to be close. On these couple of days it easily delivered close out sections, and big thumping barrels, and as the footage shows, it crunched a few too.
The waves were unpredictable and Mark Mathews described it as “It was more evil than I ever surfed it before.”
Other guys describing it as “sickeningly”, and “terrifying”, “just what we like” with the occasional two wave hold downs were, Richie Vas, Laurie Towner, Jack Kingsley, Phil Ried with a real life close shave for Ryan Hippwood, close to drowning.
Enjoy the video. Sorry about the adds.

SURFING PEREGIAN BEACH

Birdie the Boardie — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 07:23:22 +0000

Surfing Peregian Beach

Sometimes a visit to the local Pitta St surf spot at Peregian Beach brings a few suprises.

Hanging over the viewing platform rails and looking at really crappy, chopped up, mush called surf, which belies what was pushing in here a few days earlier.

“Pumpin’ Pitta” it certainly wasn’t,…on this day.

Three young surfers racing past me to get into the water, obviously to get cool, all said “g’day” as they ran past.

They proceeded to shred the surf to pieces. You could hear their laughter over the sound of the wind and waves.

The next day the same young guys happen to wander into the Surf Shop at Peregian Beach to check things out, and have a talk to Stevo.

Typically young guys talking surf and stuff, but the talk got to movies, and as Stevo is the owner of Sunnycoast Klips, making surf clips and videos the talk got exciting enough, and one of the young guys called James, had a video done (collaboration with one of the mates) featuring himself. Young James and his mate were well spoken young surfer dudes, that surf really well, and I think that if James was on the right gear, he would do better. But I digress.

His video is worth a look, and is a credit to those who got together to do it, and I think he won’t mind if I attach it here:-
