Hawaii – Return to the source – First Surf

The first day of surf in Pipeline was great with 10-12 feet, but from that you’ll only see photos later. We leave you now with a smaller session in Pipeline, Sunset and Haleiwa.

 Small day in Pipe, but Alexandre Ferreira aka “Mad Xano” got to experience the tube feeling.

ALOHA NORTH SHORE, here we gooo

If Hawaii didn’t exist, for sure Surf wouldn’t be the same. That’s where everything started and that’s the place where surf is as powerful as a religion. But also, if Hawaii didn’t exist, Lightning Bolt, as we know it today, would be only a mirage. That’s where it all started in 1971 with Gerry Lopez and Jack Shipley.

And now the great news:

To start the year onfire, our European riders are meeting the USA team in Hawaii to surf the North Shore during two weeks, but also to shoot the Spring Summer 10 Catalogue.

The European Crew includes the new team riders, Txaber Trojaola (Spain), Jeremy Brasset (France), Jord Fortmann (Holland), and also the Portuguese David Raimundo, Pedro Soares and Alexandre Ferreira.

We are meeting the Pipeline Master Rory Russell, the USA brand manager Jonathan Paskowitz, the surfer and songwriter Dustin Franks and the new Hawaiian team riders.

Regarding the models, the girls, well.., we’re not going to open the book now. If you want to know who are the beautiful babes wearing our new beachwear, you must stay tuned here, as we will post some photos and videos during the trip.

If Tangaroa, Neptune and Poseidon help, we can promise you amazing surf, beautiful action shots, some great parties and lots of fun.
