Dane and Ando spent some time cutting loose south of the border in one of Mexico’s finest playgrounds. After a few waves, the boys settle in nicely with a few beers, tacos and visits from the locals. Enjoy these visuals from the trip to the Butthole Surfer’s song ‘The Hurdy Gurdy Man’ that was handpicked by Dane. Muy bueno. Want more Dane? Flip through the zine and check back next week for more fun times from Mexico.
Please, no frills… don’t be modest. Our Cypher No Frills Boardshorts are loaded with extras like our innovative 4-way stretch Diamond Dobby, a chaff-free new Short Fly with double up closure, and stretch stitch hems for moves like a surf-ninja. Dane’s custom patches are pretty rad too.
The biggest night in surfing took place last night at the 42nd annual Surfer Poll Awards at the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu. Awards are presented to top surfers, movies and performances of the year, as voted on by fans.
The Quiksilver team had an awesome night bringing in 4 top wins.
Kelly Slater brought home the win for Best Men’s Surfer of the Year. This award marks his 18th Surfer Poll No.1 Award, spanning back to 1993.
“Obviously I’m stoked, its been a long time with a lot of support from a lot of people,” said Slater. “It’s nice to be recognized by the surfing community and to come out at the top position. I’m surprised John John didn’t get first. I also thought Dane was going to get it this year—maybe next year. I think they split each other’s votes. They stole the election from each other.”
ASP Tour Rebel Dane Reynolds also received tops honors of the night with his win for Best Performance.
Quiksilver big wave surfer Reef McIntosh rounded out the awards of the evening by winning Best Barrel in the film Fiji Freight Trains.
Quiksilver Women’s Stephanie Gilmore brought home the win for Top Women’s Surfer of the Year, on the heels of the 5th ASP World Title.
“I am very excited about this year,” said Gilmore. “I was a little unsure of how it’d unfold, I wasn’t sure if I was going to come out on top because I didn’t win last year. I seriously had one of the best years of my life, and I guess everybody else thought that too. These awards are so important, because it’s the fans voting, so it means a lot.”
is it a webisode? a vlog, a blog, a podcast? i’m pretty sure it’s not an original short. doesn’t that need, like, a plot or something? some sort of narrative? where’s the exposition, the complication, the crisis, the climax, the resolve? maybe it’s an anecdote. or like a poem. if it were a poem it would probably go like this:
the saddest thing i ever did see
was a woodpecker peckin’ at a plastic tree.
he looks at me, and friend, he says
things aint as sweet as they used to be.
that’s by shel silverstein. the track on the video is black flag. i’m pretty sure it’s called a webisode.
