Ben Linden, 24, of Perth, Australia (pictured right with his girlfriend Alana Noakes) was killed Saturday, July 14, 2012 after being mauled by what experts believe was a great white shark four kilometers south of Wedge Island, according to a story in Perth Now.
The jet-ski rider who tried to retrieve the man said it was a “massive, massive white shark” and “there was blood everywhere”. . . The shark tried to knock Matt Holmes, 22, off his jet ski as he attempted to pull the surfer on to the back of the craft. Then the beast returned to take the lifeless body for a second time. . . “By the time I got out there half of him had been taken and the shark was circling,” Mr Holmes said of the attack near Wedge Island, 180km north of Perth.
Linden was reportedly the fifth person killed by a shark in less than a year. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and especially with his girlfriend Alana.

Hackers have allegedly posted close to 35,000 “unencrypted text passwords” from the Billabong.com store, according to a story in The Australian.
Online publication SC Magazine has reported that hacktivists released the credentials under #WikiBoatWednesday, an event popular in hacktivist Twitter circles. . . Billabong has told the magazine that its customer database did not contain financial data, only personal information, but is yet to confirm or deny whether its user information has been hacked.
Billabong said the following: “We view this attack as an extremely serious matter and have taken urgent action to contain the incident and prevent further attacks occurring.” That’s just one reason why you shouldn’t use your email password when you’re buying bikinis.

No one should be surprised to learn that Nyjah Huston was once again on top of the qualifying rounds of Street League 3 from Glendale, Arizona tonight. What was sup rising was how close the top four skaters were. Only .5 of a point separated the top three.
Qualifying in second was Luan Oliveira, with some incredibly technical tricks like a Switch Frontside Flip and a Nollie Backside Flip in the Big section. Third place qualifier was Paul Rodriguez with an overall score of 33.1. Rounding out the qualifying spots were Chris Cole, Torey Pudwill and Ryan Sheckler, who all had solid days of skating

There were more lay days than competition days at the 2012 Roxy Pro Biarritz, but that didn’t slow the girls down. Especially Stephanie Gilmore who won both the event (downing Tyler Wright 18.53 to 13.1) and her fifth ASP Women’s World Title.
“I woke up this morning and thought it wouldn’t happen today,” Gilmore said. “But as the day progressed, and things fell into place, I began to believe it could happen. France is such a special place and having so many people on the beach watching us surf today is really emotional. I think I’m going to cry. . . “This year for me was all about improving my consistency and having fun with my surfing,” Gilmore said. “From when I started five years ago to where we are now, women’s surfing has improved so much. It’s an honor to be back up top as these girls push me everyday and are all incredible surfers.”
