Check out this cool contest:
VOLCOM STONE’S $10,000 KICKFLIP-OFF CONTEST!To date, no one has ever documented a cleanly landed kickflip on a surfboard. Volcom is giving away $10,000 to the first person that can land a “proper” kickflip while surfing! By proper we mean an “above the lip” kickflip where first you launch an air, use your front foot to flip the board, and then land on it and ride out cleanly. No backwash, no fingerflips, no grabs, no laybacks. Just a proper kickflip. We’re going to be strict on these following guidelines. The rules are all listed here, so get out there and put this trick in the history books. Good luck!
You Can’t Smoke Before a Surf Contest

Listen to this bad boy. In Surfer Magazine Forum, the no. 4 world ranked surfer Joel Parkinson has backed calls for more rigorous drug testing in his sport:
“If it’s going to get real serious, I think for sure,” he told The Sun-Herald. “If the money goes up in the sport - and the prizemoney goes up by $600 next year for each place - then there should be testing.” The Gold Coast surfer, ranked No.4 in the world, was in Sydney last week with No.3 Taj Burrow and the three-time world champion, Hawaiian Andy Irons, to promote their new surf movie Trilogy.While the Association of Surfing Professionals has maintained that the sport adhered to strict World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines, Irons admitted he had never been tested during his professional career.
Burrow and Parkinson have been tested only once, both in France, where the government pays for tests.
