Billabong Pro Teahupoo

I have talked to three of my buyers who admit to watching the ASP events online at work.

It was pretty good today. I am looking forward to tomorrows rounds.

My new Hero Katrina Vanden Heuvel

Katrina Vanden Heuvel is my new hero. Watch her take Karl Rove for a beating worse than a bad day at Tehupoo.
My favorite part is how she addresses him calmly as "Mr. Rove" Unlike the usual theatre of shouting crazy stuff at eachother for ratings, he had to talk with an intellegent strong woman who made him wish he was just taking this beating below at chopes' not getting undressed on national television.



Dark Lord of the Sith Karl thought he must have been on 'Fox and Freinds' or Hannity's show this morning until he came face to face with Katrina.

The take down was so awsome I fell in love with her on the spot. I had to tell my wife that Katrina has edged out Halle Berry making it to the it to the top of my star crush list.

(Sorry Halle we will always have 'Die another Day')




Even better, she is the publisher of The Nation check out the article of Surfers vs. the Superferry

Teahupoo has more Teeth then we knew

Another reason I won't be able to surf Teahupoo right now

From Tahiti Press
A tiger shark weighing in at 1.3 tons was accidentally caught at Teahupoo in Tahiti. The renowned wave has been surfed by many visiting, and local, pro surfers over the years, and hosts the Billabong Pro Tahiti, an ASP World Tour event.

Last Thursday, two local brothers, Didier and Grard Parker, had been catching the Crown of Thorn starfish with fish nets, ridding the reef of the invasive species. As they pulled up one of their nets it became obvious there was something tangled in it bigger than a starfish, at first they thought it was a swordfish, but to their surprise it was a massive tiger shark. The shark had already drowned and was no threat.

It had always been rumored that a big tiger lived around Teahupoo, and now that rumored has been confirmed. The wave breaks about a quarter mile out from the beach, and although some surfers take boats to the spot, there are many that make the paddle. Now, they may have something else on their mind besides scoring perfect barrels as they paddle out.
