WHAT THE WORLD'S BEST SURFERS DO WHEN IT'S FLAT
If Mick Fanning jumped off a bridge would you? Well he did… sorta, and can you blame the guy? There’s a lot of pressure involved in defending a Billabong Pro JBay title and holding down the No. 1 spot on the ratings. It’s no wonder Fanning flung himself off the world’s highest bungee jump to take his mind off things! Round 4 of the Billabong Pro in Jeffreys Bay is up next and Mick’s got Pancho Sullivan. Make sure you logon to watch it LIVE!

HONDA US OPEN REVS UP IN HUNTINGTON
As the 2007 ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) hurtles towards the halfway point, the 6-Star Honda U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach is gearing up to be one of the most crucial stops of the summer. Boasting 6-Star events for the men and women, a men’s longboard event as well as the ASP Grade-2 Lost Pro Junior, the U.S. Open will provide 10 days
worth of action at the hallowed beach breaks of Huntington Beach Pier. ASP Foster’s 45 surfers such as Tom Whitaker, Cory Lopez, Bruce Irons, Adriano de Souza and Jeremy Flores will do battle with a swath of hungry WQS campaigners like Jordy Smith, Dane Reynolds, etc. On the girls side, the U.S. Open is the biggest ’QS of the season (along with Margaret River and Haleiwa) and will see former ASP World Champ and last year’s event champ Sofia Mulanovich attempt to defend her title against an onslaught of up-and-comers including Leilani Gryde, Karina Petroni, Nicola Atherton and Tammy Lee Smith. The Trials begin Friday, July 20, with the main event starting the following Monday.

Waiting around for waves can be nerve-wracking enough, but doing so while your missus is nine-months pregnant and about to pop is another story altogether! Foster’s ASP World Tour No. 5 Joel Parkinson is going to make it home just in time to be by his wife Monica’s side when she’s induced in Australia on Tuesday. “The JBay waiting period ends Sunday, I’m home Monday night and it’s straight to the hospital Tuesday morning!” The baby will be Joel and Monica’s second; their daughter Evie Kate will be taking on big sister duties shortly!
