Billabong Pro Tahiti 2012 Highlights

   At 10 days from starting one of the best ASP World Tour Events, the Billabong Pro Tahiti, it's time to watch last year's Highlights. Last year's event was won by the 2-times World Champion Mick Fanning followed by the current World Champion Joel Parkinson.

   Teahupoo is probably the most dangerous wave on the planet due to its huge size and power. The danger is further increased by the coral that is at the button of the sea. Teahupoo is THE tube-riding event of the Dream Tour, with HUGE and CRAZY Barrels.

   Without further ado, let me show you the Billabong Pro Tahiti 2012 Highlights:

  The event in Tahiti is the perfect example of a Dream Tour Event with beautiful and mind-blowing landscapes:

US Open of Surfing, Final Day Highlights

  The US Open of Surfing as come to an end. The Brazilian Alejo Muniz is the new champion of the legendary waves of Huntington Beach. I hope you enjoyed this Prime Event. Sincerely, I didn't appreciate so much this event as the waves were not so good as I was expecting, moreover coming from the event at ASP World Tour Championship at Bali, Indonesia.

  Alejo Muniz won over Kolohe Andino at the final. I also want to point out the outstanding performance of Michel Bourez throughout the event.

  I leave you now with the Highlights of the final day of the ASP Prime Event at Huntington Beach:

Day 3 of the US Open of Surfing

   Hi. Like I posted here, it is currently ON the ASP Prime Event, US Open of Surfing at Huntington Beach. 

  Let me show you a Highlights video of the third day of the event. In this YouTube video you can check Kelly Slater, Dane Reynolds, Adriano de Souza and more great surfers of the ASP World Championship Tour and WQS:

   I think for now, the major upset was that Dane Reynolds is out of the event, having lost against Julian Wilson (the winner of last year's US Open of Surfing) and Alex Ribeiro.

   Keep watching this great event at such a legendary beach. Have Fun!!
