Quiksilver Pro Day One
Wed 6 March 12:00am
The Quiksilver Pro ran through all twelve heats of Round One yesterday with lots of action but little drama. Gabriel tweaked an ankle and Adriano dinged his board, that's about the extent of the emotional toil. Dane's heat was much anticipated but after one or two good waves he disappeared and let Kelly rule the show.

O'Neill Cold Water Classic Round 3 & 4
Tue 6 November 12:00am
The three Australians into the final 8 of the O'Neill Cold Water Classic had varying responses to the situation:
"There's still a lot of work to do," said cucumber cool Parko
"I'm having fun," was Taj's regulation response
"I'm freaking out," said a startled Wilko in his highest result of the year.
The surf at Steamer Lane was inconsistent and weak so the comp was postponed a few times during the day. With the winner less than one day of competition away here's hoping we get some juice to decide the top knob.

O'Neill Cold Water Classic Round 2
Mon 5 November 12:00am
And it's off to Pipe we go!
By scraping through his Round 3 heat, Kelly Slater takes the title showdown to the last competition of the year - the Pipe Masters. And scrape Kelly did, a buzzer beating wave by opponent, Dusty Payne, saw him launch, spin, invert and land a critical air rev that looked like it'd knock the Great Bald One out of title contention. The judges thought otherwise and pulled Dusty up short in a result that would've had Gabriel Medina, his Dad, board caddy, travelling fluffer, and half the country of Brazil throwing chairs if it happened to him.

O'Neill Cold Water Classic Round 1
Fri 2 November 12:00am
The webcast commentators made plenty of comparisons to small Bells on Day 1 of the O'Neill Cold Water Classic, and the slow, weak and wobbly waves at Steamer Lane certainly justified the comparison. Despite the lack of ramps a few surfers still scored big by boosting over the lip. Gabriel Medina, in fact, scored 9.43 for a one move wave that was made even more marvellous by virtue of being a left.

Parko at Trestles
Sun 23 September 12:00am
He may not have won the Hurley Pro but in coming second Joel Parkinson assured pro surf fans that the 2012 title race will be one for the ages. Parko consolidated his second place on the rankings behind leader Mick Fanning with the winner at Trestles, Kelly Slater, jumping into third. So close is the race that the current top six all made the quarters at least at Trestles. Everyone vying for the title is surfing well.
ASP photographers Kirstin Scholtz and Sean Rowland captured Parko moving through the draw from his Round 1 heat to the Final.

Yesterday Robert Kelly Slater racked up his 50th WCT win when he clinched the Hurley Pro at Trestles over Joel Parkinson. It was Slater's 6th Trestles trophy and rocketed him back into contention for this year's world title. It was yet another diamond day for the 11-time world champion.
ASP photographers Kirstin Scholtz and Sean Rowland captured the champ as he moved around the competition, patiently dealing with media and fans, and ruthlessly disposing of his rivals.

Mick vs Parko
Tue 28 August 12:00am
The final of the Billabong Pro Tahiti was another classic showdown between the two ageing Cooly kids. Mick had the momentum going into the final following a last second 10-pointer in his Quarter against Ricardo Dos Santos and coming over the top of Owen Wright in their high-scoring Semi. Despite this it was Parko who got off to a flyer in the Final. His first two waves were a 9.50 and an 8.87 and it appeared he had the game sewn up after ten minutes.
