Do yourself a favour and watch this footage, i just saw it then for the first time and it blew my mind! I have seen Chopes angry before but i'm going to go as far as saying that is quite possibly the most run for the hills worthy i have ever seen it! I remember when i first heard of Teahupoo, there was a four star QS there in maybe the year 2000? Don't quote me on that but it was some time around then.

Just finished reading the story of Micheal Peterson the Coolangatta King of the 70's and undisputed cult hero and contest unstoppable from that era! The book inspired me to say the least, why i'm not entirely sure, Micheal's life to put it in short was a whirlwind rollercoaster, that is lucky not to have been cut short by the mass consumption of drugs on a more than habitual basis!

Check this photo of TWS co-owner Sedz, in El Salvador for the recent Four star WQS event after exiting in the round of 32 things apparently got a little weird, not that weird though, Sedz has been getting nude for no apparent reason since long before the inception of TWS, the biggest surprise here is Sedz has a massive leaf covering his package! As Sedz's mum Jen wrote to him on facebook under this photo, 'Some things never change' well said Jen haha!

Got a Couple of happy customers here, local sunny coast crew that have been getting there boards off us since our inception in 07. Patty V the fine, ripped little specimen that he is, in the photo down the bottom is showing off his new 5'7 Lost rocket, a Lee Cheyne design rider normally, Patty just had to taste the Lost hype for himself, a few big punts in the session that ensued and Patty's thoughts were confirmed he would have a ball on the ...Lost rocket and is the perfect addition to his refined Lee Cheyne Quiver!

Some more good news from TWS this week, if you haven't heard, our mate Julian Wilson has had a win in the 6 star Prime Contest in Ereciera Portugal! What this means for the likable Sunny Coast superstar is that Julians immediate future is consolidated on the WCT. A big relief for the Wilson camp, who faced a possible mid year drop off the CT by not finishing high enough up the rankings. Julian Took down Brazil's Gabriel Medina in the final who has also been on fire of late!

A humble unit on Dbah Hill littered with shiny new surfboards most of which have shiny graphics on the deck, others with peices of paper on them waiting to go under the pen! Although i'm not a huge fan of the statement because it is used to frequently, Louis Gervais is one guy who is living the dream! An interesting character, Louis spends his days surfing around Snapper Rocks and Dbah, and in the downtime sweeping young moisties off their feet and drawing on surfboards for anyone from your average Joe, to Owen Wright and Mick Fanning, thats just scratching the surface!
