Salem-News.com’s Tim King and Dexter Phoenix report: The Nelscott Reef in Lincoln City was going off Thursday, once again providing 25+ foot waves for the annual surf contest known as the Nelscott Reef Tow-In Classic.

Competitors like Russel Smith of Santa Cruz, say the event was another ideal day for the top ranked professional surfers in the world who travel here each year to compete, “Oh today’s been great you know, not too much wind, the water’s not terribly cold and yeah, it’s going really well.”

Organizer John Forse and his team works hard crunching data to predict the best day for the biggest and most quality waves that break over this reef located a mile offshore.

Surfers practice aerials w/skateboards – Red Bull Project Air

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:29:04 +0000

The Red Bull surf team’s first aerial training session on the newly built skateboard bowl. Jordy Smith, Michel Bourez, Mick Fanning and Sally Fitzgibbons all tried adapting to the new board and skate deck – much different from a surf board and wave – and after a while it proved as a perfect training ground for aerials in the water.

Borrowing training concepts first proto-typed by snowboarder Shaun White during “Project X”, the best of the best, including two-time and reigning Men’s World Champion Mick Fanning, Women’s World Champion Sofia Mulanovich, Junior World Champions Julian Wilson and Sally Fitzgibbons, along with international stars Jordy Smith and Michel Bourez will be expanding, honing and refining their aerial repertoires with the assistance of professional coaches, pro skateboarders and the use of gymnastic facilities.

The star of the show is not any one of the surfers, but a custom-built skateboard bowl tailored specifically to surf style moves with right and left “breaking” ramps that are exposed to a large foam-pit.

admin — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 08:39:02 +0000

Participants of Red Bull Project Air are welcomed to the camp with a big surprise – a custom made replica of Mark Richards 1978 Pipe Weapon”. Personally hand-signed by the former four-time world champ and legend MR, the single-fin replicas are a symbolic, tactile reference to the origins of competitive surfing. But after putting them to the test, the athletes decide that the best place for these special custom-made boards is on their wall.

The World’s First Surfing Mice – The Radical Rodents

admin — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 15:49:07 +0000

You will not believe your eyes !!!
Hello we are the Radical Rodents, the coolest and hippest mice in the world. We are all mad keen surfers and as far as we know are the only rodents in the world that surf, which would make us the world’s smallest surfers. Our names are Chopsticks, Bunsen, Harry & Curly and we have been surfing for over 3 years. We love living here up in sunny Queensland because we get to surf most of the year as the water is warm and the weather is mild. Also there are lots of stinking rich folk with massive boats that deliver the waves which we long to ride. We mainly surf in rivers and estuarys as we are only very tiny, but as you will see we get some very nice waves indeed and on the weekends when the boats are out it is very consistent. To all you brave mice out there at home who think this sounds like a groovy idea, please do not try this. We are trained proffessionals and have endured a lengthy process learning how to swim and how to balance on a board. All the team is in our last season of surfing as we are all getting old and as mice we live for approx 3-4 years. We have already started showing some of our offspring the ropes and Bunsen’s son Junior has already caught a few and will be joining the team soon. The new generation are as keen as mustard and we all look forward to seeing them take over the reins so we can retire. We are currently putting together our website www.radicalrodents.com, so it should be up and running in a couple of months. Here you will be able to keep up to date with all our sessions, buy merchandise and we will also be selling our old boards too all signed up. Also we are going to be bring out our own surf film and doco in 2007, as we have been filming our antics for the past couple of years. We will be looking for sponsers for both ourselves and for our first film. Anyway sit back and enjoy the clip, i think you will be pleasently suprised at our talent, you will be sure to get the giggles too. Look forward to all your responses, Keep surfing always
Love The Radical Rodents
