Ryan Burch builds it and rides it. But that means he also spends a lot of time in the sun and it’s apparently why he wears a nice pair of Spy Alcatraz sunnies.
. . . a young pro surfer that not only shapes his own equipment, but questions and pushes design to new, truly unique places. Often seen anywhere from Cardiff to Bali riding anything from homemade 9’6″ logs to a 4′ block of foam, take in the intricacies surrounding Burch’s love of board design and reeling point breaks over a pot of jet black java.
And now we know.

Our experience with SN2 reactions is why we’re typing this and not gluing in your latest piece of dental work. But luckily for us, the crew at Chemistry Surfboards has more than made up for our lack of knowledge with this little Chemistry Experience.
The Chemistry Experience is a quick journey into what we are and who we are by highlighting our various signature products and the many faces who use them. We continue our pursuit to provide like minded people the products needed to uphold the lifestyle. The look and feel may be the same but the “Experience” is always different. . . Surfers: Cheyne Magnusson, Mike Gleason, Willie Smith, Will Reid, Thomas Clarke, Jason Bennett, Saxon Boucher, Todd Prestage, Pat Schmidt, and Chris Abad.
Now it all makes sense.

Vans is happy to announce that regardless of the fact that the 2014 US Open of Surfing is a QS for the men, that doesn’t mean that the big guns won’t be there to surf in front of the world’s largest, most appreciative crowd in surfing. No the big guns will be there including: Kelly Slater, Jordy Smith, Julian Wilson, Josh Kerr, CJ Hobgood, Sebastian Ziets, and even the misto Dane Reynolds, just to name a few.
The Vans US Open is a pivotal point on the Men’s ASP Qualification Series and Women’s World Championship Tour (WCT). For the men, a win at the Vans US Open – ASP Men’s Prime event – will earn them valuable points toward a coveted Top 10 QS ranking. And for the women, with a close race for the ASP World Title, the Vans US Open of Surfing marks a key midseason stop on the Women’s WCT. Alongside the ASP QS and WCT competition, Vans will host the ASP Pro Juniors for men’s and women’s, prepping the field for a spot in the coveted ASP World Junior Championships.

The waves at Cloudbreak did not live up to their reputation the week of the 2014 Fiji Pro, but that didn’t stop Garbriel Medina from ripping the place apart. Medina decimated Kolohe Andino in semi-final two and then marched right through a hard charging Nat Young to take the win (June 6, 2014) and the top position on the ASP world title rankings list.
“It’s great to be back at the top of the ratings, it’s still early but I’m feeling good,” said Gabriel Medina. “I’ve never surfed at Jeffreys Bay before but I’m going home after this to prepare and I’ll be working hard. Nat (Young) is a great guy and that was a good Final against him. I was so nervous inside those barrels, I couldn’t see anything, but when I came out I was stoked. Thanks to the Namotu guys who were supporting me. Thanks to everyone in Fiji, I just love it here especially with a win.”

And just like that the ASP World Championship Tour’s Fiji Pro is down to four guys after yesterday’s (June 4, 2014) rounds of surfing: Nat Young vs. Michel Bourez, and Gabriel Medina (above) vs. Kolohe Andino. We don’t want to say anything too derogatory about the waves, but the semi-finalists themselves are a pretty good indicator of how it went for most of the contest. The semi-finalists didn’t seem to let that get them down.
“Today was for sure the best I’ve ever surfed since I’ve been on Tour,” said Kolohe Andino. “I felt really calm which is good for me and I’m stoked. I’m still improving and my board change has really helped. I’m just taking it heat by heat and really enjoying myself out there so we’ll see what happens. I’m stoked that Nat (Young) is still in the draw because he’s my best friend on Tour.”
The contest just might conclude today with what we’re guessing will be a Bourez, Medina final with Medina taking the win. Then again, we could be wrong. For the official word from the ASP including complete results, follow the jump. [click to continue…]
