World Champion Surfer Stephanie Gilmore (Lots of Pictures)
If you saw the ESPN Magazine Body Issue, I’m sure you noticed the YOWZA picture of four time world surfing champion Stephanie Gilmore. In case you missed it, I included it here after the jump. You can thanks me later. The 23 year old, 5’10″ 147 pound native New South Wales, Australia is um, kind of accomplished in her sport.
And um, kind of attractive.
Wow! huh...

Fantasy Surfer: Jeffreys Bay Recap
After the J Bay contest, I am in 659th place out of 15,164 active players. My line up for the contest changed a bit from my initial line up and unfortunately most of my team under performed. My team for the contest was Jordy Smith, Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning, Taylor Knox, Andy Irons, Nate Yeomans, Timmy Reyes and Dale Staples. Going into the contest, I thought this line up would...

Surfer Comes to Blows With Great White & Wins
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from watching the Jaws movie series, it’s that unless you’re Roy Scheider, which I am not, great white sharks are not to be trifled with. I mean, just look at that picture–no natural enemies, a mouth full of razor sharp teeth, and the ability to fly.

Video: Surfing At Penn State
When we say surfing at Penn State, we mean a makeshift slip ?n slide made up of tailgating tarps pieced together down a steep hill. Make sure to catch the end where a guy stands on the back of a sliding tailgater and uses him as a surfboard all the way down. Impressive.

Manhattan Beach surf trip
I went to Southern California this past weekend to celebrate my 30th birthday. Dirty 30. Manhattan Beach. Big ups to Cyrus and Carrie for letting me crash on their couch for three or four days.
We watched the Olympics (congratulations, Phelps) but mostly we drank and ate and drank some more. Occasionally Carrie and I surfed. Cyrus was recovering from a brutal long-boarding accident...

Mavericks 2008
The 2008 contest is over, and the champion is California native Greg Long. The purse of $75k was awarded to him, but this year came with a twist. When out in the water, the guys in the final heat agreed to split the winnings, no matter who pulled it off. So Long took $30k for his 40+ ft wave.
