From the 80s through the early 90s, no rivalry was more heralded or harped on than the Tom Curren/Mark Occhilupo squabble. Mark was an amped, outspoken Aussie mischief-maker on land and a powerhouse hell-competitor in the water. Tom was mysterious and mellow on land, but fiercely competitive in the lineup as well. No matter where the comp was or who else was in it—there were always two camps, the Occy kids and the Curren Kids. When the two surfers would come up against eachother in heats, sparks would always fly.

“The three Curren/Occy moments that are kind of inseparable are the two Op Pro Finals in front of 100,000 people at Huntington Beach and the Rip Curl Bells Pro semi that clinched the World Title for Tom,” says current ASP Director and surfing legend Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew. “They were all amazing. Magic was promised and delivered, and both would rise to each other, producing performances that stand the test of time.”

Check out the video of these two surfing gladiators going at it below:

Sofia, the award winning, 52-minute documentary that uncovers the spirit of surfer Sofia Mulanovich, tells the story of an unlikely heroine who inspired a new energy within her developing nation of Peru.

In Spanish with English subtitles, Sofia demonstrates how Mulanovich embodies Peru's new wave toward progress, proving the statement, Si, se puede! (Yes, you can!). Her World Title in 2004 and continued successful surf career on the world stage has ripped apart cultural barriers, by mobilizing an entire generation of young people to believe that anything is possible. Unbeknown to Sofia, she would become one of the biggest role models in Peruvian history, simply by doing what she loves: surfing.

Picking the right surfboard fin can be confusing. Most surfers don’t have the slightest clue what to choose when it comes to fin designs. (I’ll admit I don’t.).

Everybody claims they make the perfect fin for this or that, but it seems ideally what you’re looking for is one fin for all conditions. (The all around fin for 2 foot close out beach breaks to 6 foot barrels somewhere off in Fiji.) Well, The Hobgood Twins & FCS have teamed up and worked on this idea for the last two years & recently released such a fin…

The  "GOODS-1"

I’m not going to waste your time with detail breakdowns of design, because if you’re anything like me, you wouldn’t understand it anyway and just need to be pushed in the right direction. I’m willing to take CJ Hobgood’s word that this is a dope fin and will work magic anywhere I go. They spent the last two years testing it, and that’s good enough for me!
