RipCurl Pro Search!!!!

Rip Curl Pro Search Live web feed, Somewhere in .....INDO! Padang Padang is the consenses. 

Day one has come to an end, Slater seems to have been running on his toes since J-bay and has taken the top score in round one. Like its a surprise. Parko and both the Irons boys are doing their best to give him some heat. 

Can't wait to see more live feed and wicked lines over the next week. 

Billabong Pro JBay....ON NOW!

Wicked, the long long lines of Jeffery's bay are a reported 4 ft and nary a wind is blowing. The live trials are on this very second and the boys are all running for the finish line. Its early in the morning there since we are looking at about a 6 hour ahead time difference from Toronto to South Africa. The live video feed displays the beach, rocks, greenery, a bit of a grey sky and some half decent waves. Not amazing waves for this challenging break but waves none the less (remember I live on a lake).

With more than one past winner of this event, 45 full time pros and 4 wildcards the competition should be stiff. Watch legends and newbies alike make it look easy live for the next ten days at www.billabongpro.com .

This is the second year running and already the show has gathered a media buzz around it offering cash prizes to top photos and gaining sponsership from the surf giant Quiksilver among others. 

The work is impressive, the admission is free, flip-flops or skate shoes are totally acceptable foot wear and its located downtown in a brewery. Totally worth popping in and taking a look before the month is out.

ROXY spokesmodel search.

ROXY is on the hunt for a spokesmodel. To me this is a very exciting thing, I am learning more and more that the things that excite me do not exactly line up with the rest of the city's idea of exciting, proving once again that I don't really belong. Toronto was the only Canadian stop on the tour, an open casting call held at Boathouse, with a surprisingly small turn out of girls with the dream of representing ROXY on a global scale.

Alas, my name was not called as one of the three finalists, but dreams are not shattered yet. 

In addition to the spokesmodel search ROXY is accepting video pitches to have your wildest dreams brought to life with a 10,000 dollar bonus from ROXY. The competition is going to be tough, check back for updates.
