Surfline's World Champ Roundtable

After watching last year's Big Wave Roundtable on Surfline, we're pretty pumped to check out their upcoming World Champ Roundtable with Kelly Slater, Joel Parkinson, Mick Fanning and CJ Hobgood in memory of Andy Irons. It premiere's on Surfline TV Friday, October 25th and on Surfline.com on Monday, October 28th. Check it out. You won't want to miss it.

DJ and Damo

When he's not freediving and spearfishing giant fish, you can find DJ Struntz linking up with surfing's top pros. DJ and Damien Hobgood have been friends and travel partners for years, so it's quite appropriate that they landed the latest cover of Surfing Magazine's world travel issue. Well done boys!

Carissa Moore :: 2013 World Champ

Trash Slick Surfing in Indonesia

Zak Noyle's image of Dede Suryana has sent a shockwave around the globe. He knew it was going to be a powerful image when he captured it, but the response has been something Noyle never imagined. The surf world was quick to jump on it as it made its way onto several covers internationally and of course its appearance in Surfer Magazine (Zak's employer) who broke the story upon his return from that eye opening trip to Java. 

Zak is quick to point out that this "isn't just an Indonesian problem. It's all of us and wherever you are in the world you need to help spread awareness about the importance of keeping our oceans free of debris." 

Noyle hopes "that this image will help inspire people to take responsibility for their local areas and stop the increasing amount of garbage that makes its way into the oceans we all love and respect."

Uragano (Hurricane) Kelly

Felicitazione to Kelly Slater and photographer Todd Glaser for scoring the latest cover of Men's Health in Italy. From what we can gather (through an online translation tool) from the cover blurb, Men's Health is looking into the secret of Slater's perfect physique. We're guessing it's not extra helpings of pasta and pizza.
