The Inside Scoop - Quiksilver

Is Dane sponsor shopping? There's been some big changes at Quiksilver in recent months. Kelly won 10, Julian went to Nike, Steph joined the team. We sat down with surf team manager Chad Wells to get the inside scoop.

The A-List

Julian in Newport. Dane at Lowers and the Pier. Kelly at Lowers en route to #10.

Kelly was doing turns like I've never even seen before, and he did them over and over again. It is baffling how good, precise, powerful, and loose his surfing is.

Our 100th Episode!

This morning, Hossegor came to 54th st for about 1 Hour. After a few barrels, the wind shifted and the boys started ripping big gaffs and flicking airs. Then Julian Wilson showed up and just flared 3 waves in a row, bigger and smoother than anything I've seen in a while.

Oh yeah, and this is 100th original surf film produced.

Pier Party - Fanning and Friends

Fanning seems to be friends with every pro surfer on the planet. Or maybe they all want to be friends with him. Either way, during this session, there was at least 2 A-Listers on every wave. Tons of action. Tons of burns. Pretty much just an average day at the pier, except with slightly above-average surfers . . . slightly.
