Kyuss and Quinn were on the road again heading north to participate in event 7 of the Wahu Grom Surfer series at Alexandria Headlands on the Sunshine Coast .With the wild Queensland weather subsiding long enough to complete the 2011 Sunshine Coast Wahu Surfer Groms Comp.In a reduced ten minute final, Surfing Queensland’s expert panel of judges were looking for competitors’ single best wave score, rather than the traditional scoring system of counting surfers’ best two scoring rides.
Rain, wind and 2m wild seas at Alexandra Headland couldn’t stop Byron Bays Kyuss King who dominated the U/11 Boys division.Kyuss’s near-perfect 9.6 ride (out of a possible 10) in the last minute of his heat launched him into the finals.

QUINN LOOKS UNSTOPPABLE IN 2011

2011-02-13T19:22:00.000-08:00

Jay Quinn has stormed to his third victory from four events on the SOL Series this summer and is fast becoming the most dominant surfer in New Zealand.

Jay relaxed after a cracker start in 2011

Quinn won the Power Balance Pro at Mount Maunganui today by blasting his opponents into submission scoring 16.37 out of a possible 20 points in the final. A near perfect 9.33 point ride out of a possible 10 early in the final helped his cause and it was a wave that his fellow three finalists could not match.

Quinny's style shining in perfect rights.

The win follows his first victory of the season at home in Gisborne back in November before winning the National Championships held at Dunedin in January and then placing an agonising runner up at the most recent event in Whangamata two weeks ago, a final he had won, until the last 40 seconds.Quinn extends his lead on the SOL Series beyond 2400 points which is a massive lead that will take a miracle to bridge by any of his fellow surfers."It's a crazy but definitely a good start to the year, hopefully I can continue this form through to the international events this year" said Jay “the Fern” Quinn.

Quinny is looking forward to a big year on the World Qualifying Series.

Jay warming up before the final.

Volcom's Morehu Roberts was also in the final with Quinn but he incurred an interference on his first wave in the final and ended up with a 4th placing.

Well done Quinn!!

WHANGAMATA SURF

2010-12-15T19:12:00.000-08:00

Well the lay out of the day started by hoping in the van and picking up my mate Kezza who happened to be a damn legend and agree to come and give a hand of help for the day, then leaving for our small journey across coast to Whangamata were we would be running a fun promotion day with Whangamata surf.

We arrived in Whangamata to be greeted with some quality sun shine and began to build base for what was set to be a fun and busy day. Before we could finish setting up there was an array of frothing grommets and onlookers keen to check out what was going on. We set up the gorilla and Banana wheel. Cranked the BBQ and let the fun begin. People came by span the wheel, won a prize and took a sausage or two with them. There was a back flipping gorilla, gorillas on roofs, skating bananas, madness in the streets on the small beach town.

All in all it was a super cool day check the photos

VOLCOM GROM TURDS TRAINING CAMP

2010-12-02T19:34:00.000-08:00

The 2010 Volcom Grom training Camp was always going to be a fun filled affair with lots of laughs and plenty of ripping going down.

This year we decided to have the camp on the mid north coast at a little secret spot called, ummmmmm I forgot the name. Anyway we had three cabins booked for the 14 of us to stay at.

The entourage consisted of Grommets, Juniors, Coaches, Photographers and a Jet Ski driver. The Jet Ski driver couldn’t walk by the end of the trip and resembled Zoidburg from Futurama after spending three 10 hour days in the sun!

Day 1 consisted of everyone getting together, going for a free Surf and talking about the 3 days of drills. The camp consisted of tips on shooting photo’s, learning to tow ( the grommies lost there shit when they found out we bought a Jet Ski) and on the final day having a comp so they can put all they learned at the camp into practise.

Jordan Lawler

On the second day of the camp the team awoke to perfect peaks all up and down the secluded beach break. They were absolutely chomping at the bit to get out there and show there skills. Coach Bemrose didn’t go easy on them and put them through 5 hours of heat and surf drills throughout the morning and by lunch time the Team was absolutely nackered and ready for a well earned rest. After lunch it was time to bring out the Ski and that’s when the grommets started to foam out the mouth and couldn’t wait for their first attempts at launching via the machine!

Kyuss King

The third and final day of the camp was an absolute cracker. The grommets knew it was game day and they all had their best contest heads on.

Once all the heats were drawn up the grommets knew it was time to put their newly found skills into practise. Each and every one of them wanted nothing more than to take home the Trophy at the end of the Camp.

Harry Wheeler

As the camp drew to a close, we came down to the finals. In the super grommet division we had a two way count back between Kyuss King and Jordan Lawler. In the end, it was Kyuss that got the nod from the judges and received the inaugural trophy to put on his wall for the year.

In the older division it was Harry Wheeler, the Mick Fanning doppelganger that took the win in flying form.

JAY QUINN PLACES 2ND IN THE 5 STAR WQS IN ENGLAND

2010-08-09T03:58:00.000-07:00

Jay Quinn has been on fire all week in the 5 star WQS at Newquay beach on the South coast of England smashing all his heats on his way to his first ever final appearance.

He was very unlucky not to take home the win, with 1 minute to go Jay was in the lead with the French surfer Mark Lacomear needing a near perfect 8 point ride to take the win off Quinn it looked like he had it in the bag but a little right popped up for Lacomear and he belted it all the way to the sand and received an 8.2 and won the event with that wave.

Well done Jay on a great result... now the team is of to the Azores for a 6 star prime event.

Stay tuned for up dates or go to ASPEUROPE.COM and watch the boys live over the next coming months

CHRIS FRIEND TAKES HOME A WIN AT THE RED BULL JUNIOR SURF MASTERS

2010-07-13T14:46:00.000-07:00

While most of us were preparing for the onset of Monday-itis last night, Chris Friend was drinking champagne at a Gold Coast Sheraton without a care in the world.
The Twin Waters surfer landed the biggest payday of his career by winning the Mick Fanning Red Bull Junior Surf Masters at Broadbeach, taking home the $A10,000 first prize cheque.

Friend won a nail-biting final against Matt Banting after his two-wave score of 14.60 edged out the Port Macquarie youngster's tally (14.50) by just 0.10 points.
The 19-year-old began the decider well with a 7.5 wave almost immediately after the final began, but an 8.5-point ride from his opponent put Banting in front with just eight minutes left.

However, Friend found a wave at the same time and scored highly enough to hold off Banting's challenge.
Friend would have been holding his breath when the judges were deliberating their scores, after he was denied a $25,000 winners cheque at January's Hurley Burleigh Pro, where he lost a tight final to New South Welshman Dean Bowen.
“I'm going to do a bit of celebrating tonight at the Sheraton, open a couple of bottles of champagne and enjoy it,” Friend said last night.

“I had that expensive loss at the start of the year so that was in the back of my mind.
“It's my last year as a junior and I really wanted to win this event.
“It's great that Mick has put on this invitational event.”

The 20-surfer field was made up of 12 wildcards hand-picked by Fanning, including Friend, with eight more earning their spots in a qualifying contest on Friday.
Friend's previous biggest winner's cheque came earlier this year when he banked $5000 for his victory in February's Couran Cove Pro at South Stradbroke Island.
He had recently returned from a strong showing at a six-star World Qualifying Series event in Sri Lanka, where he was narrowly beaten in the round of 16.

LUKE CEDERMAN GETS THE FITH AND FINAL SPOT IN THE SOON TO BE RELEASED INNERSECTION

2010-05-30T20:56:00.000-07:00

Volcom surfer Luke " Kiwi-man" Cederman ran a clean campaign, surfed with a lot of heart and earned a Top 5 slot in the new movie "Innersection". The workingman hero was in Bali when he found out he had won a spot in the movie.

Luke smoking a cigar to his success

Here is his interview

Congratulations, you've got a section in the movie.

What! Are you serious? Oh my god, that's amazing. Far out. That's awesome.

It was pretty CLOSE AT THE END, but you just slipped into the fifth slot.

Far out. That's cool.

So, you're in Bali right now?

Yeah, I was just gonna cruise here for a month, but now I don't know. New plans maybe.

Well, that's an alright place to be. Just have someone show you where the rights are?

Ha ha, yeah, for sure. Need some of those.

How long have you been a pro?

I don't know if I call it pro surfer...I don't know.

Okay, let's do math. How old are you?

I just turned 27.

And when did you get sponsored?

Um...probably when I was 13, but Volcom picked me up about 10 years ago.

So, you're saying you have a real job too?

I've worked in my parents motel for a bit and I've been in Perth doing carpentry.

Yeah, those are jobs.

I'm not really a grom anymore...much as I'd like to be.

Yeah, the guy who qualified in front of you is 12 years old. What's been your biggest accomplishment in surfing to date?

I've never really won anything. This is definitely by far the top of the list.

So you're gonna put some work into the DVD?

Ah, yeah, definitely. I'm gonna go full out, get some better waves and do the best I can.

Did you think it would be hard for someone from a small island country like New Zealand to compete with surfers from places like the US and Australia?

Yeah, definitely. Coming from such a small country, it's pretty daunting. But I got some huge support for me and Damon from the New Zealanders, and I've got a lot of friends around the world that would be keen to see me in the movie.

I probably got more emails from Damon [Meade, filmmaker] than everyone else combined.

He's a frother, aye.

All Innersection qualifiers will get to host their own premeir for the movie. Their local shop, their local theater, their local crew...they all get to be the first to see the all the final sections. So, how would you roll that out?

Raglan, definitely. There's a shop and a lane with a bar that has a projector into an open courtyard...it's really good. It will be amazing.

Well congratulations.

Yeah, amazing.

2010-03-07T15:36:00.000-08:00

When i was here lasr year, i had the best day and thought the skating was amzing! but the guys in Adelaide have stepped it up a gear since then. the skating here is going nuts. everyone here is killing it!

from the get go in the 15 & unders it was all on. kids were jumping down the big gap grinding the rails and even skating the big bowl.

in the finals it came down the 3 young rippers who dominated the day. in 3rd we had Jay Runciman who showed great all round skill but in the end it came down to Jordan Ryan-Midson and Jake Stratton. Jordan was in with a real good chance to take out this comp, but in the finals he hit his head and left the door open for Jake. Jake was all over the finals. with tricks all over the park, and a consistant matured style he is definitly one to keep and eye on.

in the girls we had 4 ladies skate. they all killed it. with this leg of the tour having the best girl skaters i have seen it was really hard for the judges to pick the top 3. but thats why its there job and not mine. in 3rd we had Madison Hay who was skating the big bowl better than any other girl on the day. In 2nd we had Sarah Hewitt who skates the kicker to flat bar and has a mean tre flip. but again the title would be taken out by Kathrine Williams. Kat won last year as well, but she sure had improved this year. her nose grind on the long ledge had the whole crowd screaming. well done girls!

then it came to the big boys...the skating in the division is always good, but these guys in Adelaide really went for it.

in 3rd we had Peter Z. Peter had some really nice tricks some of which were back 360 over the hip...with a noce grab at times, nollie 270 heels over the hip and a heap of tricks up the euro.

in 2nd was Angus Thomas. Angus was a crowd favourite and mine too. he skated everything in the park and give off the feeling of a well rounded skater. his back smith down the big rail in the finals was awesome! But the days biggest ticket went once again to Justin Edwards. Justins skating in a thing you have to see for yourself... why he isnt in th states kicking it with the big boys is beyond me. he has so many tricks and on every obsticle there! his consistancy makes me want to take up another sport and the style gives me that same feeling. His cab flip up the Euro was so easy for him, but the Kicky front board down the big rail was just insane.

VOLCOM RIDERS TAKE DOWN THE RIP CURL PRO AT RAGLAN ON NEW ZEALAND'S WEST COAST

2010-02-28T14:33:00.000-08:00

Volcom's Morehu Roberts, Jay Quinn and Luke Cederman go 1, 2 and 3 in the Rip Curl Pro at Raglan, one of the best left hand points in the World.

Morehu on his winning wave in the final

Morehu Roberts broke through the national ranks for the biggest win of his career today (Sunday 28th February) taking out the Open Men’s Division at the Rip Curl Pro – event three of the Export Gold Series held at Manu Bay, Raglan.
On call, the surf increased for the final day of the event with perfect 1.5m waves running down Manu Bay under a light sea breeze wind.Roberts, who many consider as the most naturally talented surfer in New Zealand, fought off fellow Volcom surfer Jay Quinn in the 25 minute head-to-head final scoring 15.50 to Quinn’s 14.80.The final got off to a slow start with both surfers falling on waves before a big lull in proceedings for ten minutes that put the two surfers under an enormous amount of pressure.The last half of the final was all action as the two surfers made up for lost time going wave for wave – the lead changing after every wave.It was the vertical approach that Roberts took to his final wave in the last minute that gave him the edge over Quinn. The wave netted him an 8.50 – the highest of the final.“Yeah I am stoked aye, from the waves to the competitors, you can’t complain about anything” said Roberts post final. Luke Cederman was another standout surfer of the event but went down to fellow Volcom Surfer Jay Quinn in a tight semi final. Roberts now gets the chance to compete against many of the worlds best surfers at the Rip Curl Padang Cup later this year. The event is held on the best day of a month-long waiting period at one of the best surf destinations in Indonesia guaranteeing high quality waves – a formula that will suit Roberts.

GOONS OF DOOM – HAWAII OR BUST!

2009-12-17T13:49:00.000-08:00

HEAVY LAVA ROCKING BY SYDNEY’S LOOSEST GOOD TIME PARTY BAND

Australia’s least likely World Touring rock and rollers, The Goons of Doom are set to end the year on a tropical high with string of shows just announced on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu.

Following the rampaging success of their Californian Tour back in September, the boys were quick to take advantage of the growing enthusiasm of American crowds by returning to the States ASAP – albeit a little tiny chunk of the US floating in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

“The American Tour in September really shocked us,” says Goon drummer Cutthroat Cowboy. “Every show descended into the biggest fucking party. Even our record label was like, ‘What the fuck? We gotta get you guys back here.’ Everyone was caught off guard by the level of support. So we knew we had to go back and keep the ball rolling.”

The Goons will play six shows in Hawaii between Dec 15-20th from Waikiki right around to the infamous North Shore, home of the island’s most famous surf breaks. “We’ll be playing on the beach at the Banzai Pipeline straight after the final of the Pipe Masters, right as the new surfing World Champ is crowned which will just be surreal,” says Cowboy. “Can you imagine that? Surf rockers playing at the Pipeline? Even Dick Dale never did that shit.”

The Goons return home on Christmas Eve and while they have played their last Aussie shows for 2009 keep your eyes peeled for good times and carnage on the summer festival circuit early in the new year.

WILD IN THE PARKS TUGAN

2009-12-01T21:18:00.000-08:00

Wild In The Park Tugan was on the weekend. With weather looking a it off all day

It was great to get it inn with out any hick ups.

All the usual heads were down there and the day was funnier than any other

wild in the parks yet.

It sure is a loose bunch up there and that’s why I love it!

The antics on the day might have been questionable to some, but as Volcom

We love that stuff.

All day the kids ripped and in the groms the top 3 were Callum Tont in 3rd, Kobe Graff in 2nd

And Mitchel Morrison in 1st. All kids showed amazing board control for such a young age.

Mitchel Morrison front feebles are amazing!

The girls ripped it up, with only 3 girls game enough to compete it was good to still see

them go for it even though they all would place regardless.

That’s real skating for ya! 3rd was tifnie Lelievre, 2nd was Riarna Ellis and 1st was Aimee Massie

In the 16 and overs it came down to Dave (Battlecat) Harris, Chase Jeager and

Cody Worrell. All absolutely killed it. Chase pulled the frontside flip over the pyramid

right at the end of the heat. Cody had lines for days and linked trick after trick which the

judges loved. I think trick of the day was hands down given to Battlecat for a Frontside

Flip from the flat to the top on the Pyramid. Amazing!!!

But in the end there can only be one winner and on the day it was Cody in 1st, Battlecat

In 2nd and Chase in 3rd. Well done fella’s you killed it.

COCO HO WINS THE SEARCH IN PORTUGAL!

2009-11-03T15:01:00.000-08:00

18-year-old Coco Ho claimed her first victory on the ASP Women’s World Tour today in Peniche, Portugal, taking out the Rip Curl Women’s Pro Search over former ASP Women’s World Champion (2005) Chelsea Hedges, 26.

Coco was ripping in the final, comboing Chelsea to snag the win.

“I knew Chelsea (Hedges) would be dangerous on the left after seeing her this morning getting those barrels,” Coco said. “This afternoon it turned into a more rippable wave and it was hard on the forehand, but I was lucky to get the waves I did.”

With this victory, Coco now moves from 5th to 3rd on the ASP Women’s World Tour rankings behind Silvana Lima and two time World Champ Stephanie Gilmore.

“It feels so good to be on top,” Ho said. “I’m trying not to think about too much. I love my trophy. When I started the year, I set a goal to make Quarterfinals or better at every event in order finish Top 5 by the end of the year, and I’m doing my best to accomplish that."

It seems our little Hawaiian is on a path of destruction. She recently earned herself the 2009 ASP Women's WQS World Title. So what's next? It's anyones game right now and this tour rookie is the one to watch!

After the next event in Peru, the tour heads to Coco's homeland Hawaii where the World Champ will be crowned.

Congratulations Coco and good luck in Peru!

Coco Ho en route to her first major win! Go Coco!
