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:

Surfer Magazine Hot 100 2013, congratulations John John Florence

   Just like I mentioned in my post reviewing the Oakley Pro Bali 2013, Surfer Magazine did a list of the Hot 100 surfers in the world, like they do every year. This list gathers the best young surfers in the world.

  This year's first place goes to the 21 years old John John Florence, that is currently in his 2nd year of the ASP World Championship Tour, placing himself 4th last year (in his rookie year, amazing!!).

   The following video is just awesome (also in HD). Let me share with you the Surfer's magazine Hot 100 men surfers of 2013:

   Following the Hawaiian John John Florence is the Brazilian Gabriel Medina and the american Kalohe Andino. More information about this great list, please follow this link.

   For the Portuguese out there, the 18 years old surfer Vasco Ribeiro is placing in the 44th place in this list.

   I hope you enjoyed this post. I surely had, showing you the future of surf. Have Fun!!

Donavon Frankenreiter, an unique style in both Music and Surf

   Can someone have such a wonderful life? Donavon Frankenreiter is a Musician and FreeSurfer. From is own words “Today can I write a song? Today can I get barreled? It's always exciting"

   I admire Donavon Frankenreiter a lot because of the way he talks and expresses is love about Life, Music and Surf. He is an old friend of the Musician and Surfer Jack Johnson and sometimes they play together. Let me show you a great song of him, "On My Mind":

   His first album "Donavon Frankenreiter" was released in April 2004 in Australia due to his high popularity there, both from being a professional surfer and playing in Jack Johnson concerts. Cool songs from the first album include "Free", "It Don't Matter" and "Make You Mine".

   Since then, he has been releasing very good albums and songs, with an acoustic background and great mood ;). My recommended songs are "Girl Like You", "Beautiful Day", "Move By Yourself", "Wondering Where The Lions Are", "Your Heart" and "Keeping Me Away From You".

   Let me show you another great song, "What'cha Know About":
