Just when we were about to throw in the towel on the ASP World Championship Tour’s J-Bay Pro, we get word that the ASP’s disciplinary panel has returned their verdict on Jeremy Flores‘ apparent violation of ASP rules conduct following his Round 2 heat loss to Sebastian Zietz. Flores has been suspended from the tour until August 27, 2014.
The incident involved the athlete confronting ASP officials and event staff in an unsportsmanlike manner and resulted in the Rules and Disciplinary Committee, after completing its investigation, fining the surfer US$6,000 and suspending him from ASP competitions until August 27, 2014. As a result, Flores is ineligible to compete in both the Vans US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach (an ASP Prime QS event) and the Billabong Pro Tahiti (an ASP WCT event).
Stab Magazine (which apparently still pays people to travel to surf events, watch them all day, and then write about it) described Flores’ altercation with the judges as follows:
Craig Jarvis wrote for Stab, “He came out the water bristling, and continued to bristle all the way up to the tower, where his board being thrown onto the deck made such a loud noise that it sounded like some sort of structural damage had happened. . . “Then there was a torrent of angry, abusive words aimed at the judges. Grannies tut-tutted down below, parents put their hands over their kids’ ears, and security went scrambling, eventually placating the situation. . . “As everyone watched closely the ASP closed ranks and went into a huddle. Jeremy returned. The huddle broke. It was announced that Jeremy had apologized to the ASP and that a disciplinary committee would deal with the matter. Thus ended Jeremy’s African adventure.”
Apparently passionate surfing is still alive and well on the ASP Tour. Hopefully, we’ll get to see this contest all wrapped up in solid surf over the coming days. For the official word from the ASP, please follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Yeah, Taj Burrow and us have something in common–we both like getting our tail pads right. And now, Taj is handing over his tail pad (leash and board bag) needs to the crew at Modom.
“I’m so stoked to be riding for MODOM,” says Taj Burrow. “They’re even bigger hardware geeks than I am! I fit right in. I like my leggies to be perfect and I’m really fussy with board bags as well, which you have to be when you lug them around the world as much as I do. But it’s my tail pads I really get excited about. I love getting my tail pads right and I love the feel of them under your feet when you do.”
For the official word from Modom, follow the jump. [click to continue…]

We’ll admit it. We’re suckers for every single version of the Vans Old Skool that ever comes out. That’s why we’re pointing out this new Kyle Walker Collection.
. . . the Oklahoma native customized a Vans Slip-On ‘59 Pro and the staple Old Skool ‘92 Pro with premium pig suede uppers, corduroy details and custom insole artwork on Vans proven ULTRACUSH HD technology by Kyle’s good Oklahomie, Brian Nichols. The Vans Pro Classics Kyle Walker pack is equipped to maximize performance with enhanced cushioning and durability for the long haul while still looking clean and classy in true white and burgundy color schemes.
The good news is that these shoes are available only at finer skate shops worldwide (are there any left?).

The summer heat getting your wound up? Let photographer Chris Burkard and his crew of frozen surfers (Patrick Millin, Brett Barley, and Chadd Konig) cool you down with a little Arctic Circle surfing.
The bitterly cold seas and wind exact a large price on their minds and bodies, but the reward – adventure, amazement, and self-knowledge – draws them closer together and pushes them to tackle the next frontier in surfing.
We feel cooler already.

With 13 days to go the Hexo+ autonomous action cam drone has raised over $971,101 on Kickstarter. Their goal was only $50,000. Makes us wonder if there isn’t some fuzzy Silicon Valley VC math at work here, but either way it would appear that we’re all one step closing to having drones follow us everywhere we go capturing every boring minute of our action sports lives. Where will we find the hard drive space?
