Speaking of Roxy. . . the 2013 Roxy Pro Biarritz begins tomorrow, July 10, 2013. For those who haven’t been following the women’s pro tour Australian Tyler Wright, 19, is currently cruising in the number one spot after winning on the Gold Coast and in Brazil.
“This year, the intensity of each event makes the tour very entertaining,” Wright said. “It’s so intense! It’s pushing women surfing so far. I’ve brought 10 boards here but haven’t tested any of them yet. We’ll see what the surf delivers.”
Yes, we will. And we’ll see if Stephanie Gilmore (picture above) looks as good in the event as she does in the promo video. Follow the jump for the official word from the ASP.

Beautifully shot, black and white, longboard surfing action not exactly what you’re looking for this afternoon? Then, please, don’t watch this Josh Simpson edit of Jack Lynch and “his girl” Roya sliding all over Crescent Head from TheSeaLife.com.au.

Australian writer Clementine Ford is not happy with the new promo piece for the 2013 Roxy Pro starring Stephanie Gilmore. No, she doesn’t like the fact that the surfer’s face is never shown nor does she like the absence of surfing in the spot. In fact, she doesn’t like much about it, according to her story on Daily Life.
Because the most amazing thing female surfers can do has precisely nothing to do giving a hidden audience a boner. And while it’s almost amazing that most women spend the majority of their lives in an unacknowledged performance that begins sometime in childhood and ends when menopause makes them invisible once more, our most spectacular achievements (and failures) are unrelated to how appreciative (or dismissive) that hidden audience is of our beauty.
Oh, that again. . . to watch the video (and apparently get a boner and an unnatural attraction to the HTC One) click the link.

Hard to believe that season one of Surf House is finally over. It seems like only yesterday that we were just getting to know the abs and asses that populate the show and now we’re shedding a tear as they say goodbye. Join us for this fond farewell, and maybe just one last glimpse of some taut, tan, and wet skin.

Huntington Beach, California’s Huntington Surf & Sport is upping its footprint on the surf world’s most trafficked corner with an expansion of their current shop. Some of it even got finished in time for the US Open of Surfing later this month.

Upon completion, HSS will offer the largest inventory and best selection of hardgoods in the entire surf industry; a haven for real surfers to get authentic gear.
It’s nice to know that all surf retail isn’t dead just yet. For the official word from HSS follow the jump.

The team at France’s Peugeot Design Lab has re-imagined the surfboard, according to a post on NewLaunches.com.
The concept surfboard uses the ‘coupe tranche’ (clean cut) design theme and is sleek, suave and eye-catching. This one reminded us of an extremely sharp and shiny blade and the front of the surfboard is designed to represent emotions. The back of the surfboard highlights motion and sports integrated sculpted tail fins that have been meticulously drawn out to make the board more agile and responsive. Using carbon fiber for its body while the front is made from wood, this concept surfboard, according to our imagination, also seems inspired by stealth fighter aircrafts.
What doesn’t surprise us are the lack of action photos of the board. Click the link for more images and the rest of the story.

CNN has a story on Garett McNamara and his general all around radness including surfing that glacier fall wave back in 2007.
As the block of ice plummeted into the Copper River, it created a two-meter-high wave which McNamara surfed — the first and probably only person ever to ride such a swell. . . “It was the closest I’ve ever come to death,” said the man who has surfed nine-story waves on the most rugged coastlines in the world.
So yeah, we never want to do that ever.

The Oakley Pro Bali caught us completely off guard (we’ll leave it at that). But now that it’s over it all kind of makes sense as current world champ Joel Parkinson nabbed a victory over Michel Bourez to stay in the hunt for another title.
“That was amazing,” Parkinson said. “That was the coolest experience coming up the sand. It wasn’t the greatest of the finals and I knew it wasn’t over. I figured if I got the best wave towards the end figured I’d have a chance. Michel (Bourez) ripped and was probably the most in form surfer of the event. I dropped off my four fin back to my three fin and just didn’t get a good pump in that one good barrel and was hoping it didn’t lose me the final. From then on I knew I had to go to do turns.”
Congrats, Parko on the win and to Mick Fanning on his move to the ASP World Tour number one spot. For the official word from the ASP, follow the jump. [click to continue…]
