Forgive us for going a little overboard on the surf lately. The world’s largest surf event (The Nike US Open of Surfing) is kicking off this weekend in Huntington Beach, California and it seems that every single brand in surf has a video event coming up. Most will be showing at Newport Beach’s Lido Theatre.
One of the films premiering there next week is Transworld Surf’s Surprise Excitement Party staring Conner and Parker Coffin, Michel Bourez, John Florence, Mark Healey and others. The film debuts on Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at 8:30 PM. The showing is free and open to civilians.

This video showed up on Youtube earlier this month titled “Skaters Save Two Babies From Locked Car,” however, the truth is the skaters were completely unable to break the windows on a small SUV with their skateboards. Nice try though, right? It took one hulking, shirtless, guy with a metal barricade to do the damage (on the second try). Obviously, no one had a broken spark plug.

After a rough week with a terrible start, an epic middle, and a rainy finish the Billabong Pro J-Bay turned out exactly like it should have. Jordy Smith won his second title by edging two-time winner Mick Fanning, and Joel Parkinson moved into the lead in the ASP title race rolling in to Teahupoo.
“It’s been an incredible week for me,” Smith said. “All the support of the people at Jeffreys Bay, Garth (Tarlow), Steve (Smith), my girlfriend Lyndall (Jarvis), my mom and dad and everyone else. It’s been a really special week for me and I’m so happy right now.” . . .“Mick (Fanning) has surfed amazing all week,” Smith said. “He’s always an inspiration and he’s right there with everyone in the hunt for the title. Today’s a huge win for me. Last year, it was very emotional. To back it up this year just feels really, really good. It’s huge for my confidence and I’m looking forward to the rest of the year.”
