O'Neill Sea Paddle NYC raises $350,000 for charity

CULTURE: CALIFORNIA Cardiff ‘Kook’ statue becomes prey for pteranodon

he bronze statue in Cardiff-by-the Sea has been the target of mockery, controversy and late-night redesigns since its installation in 2007. This time pranksters have outdone themselves. A huge prehistoric pterodactyl swoops down over the surfer and a painted backdrop of a volcanic eruption, small palm trees and two velociraptors complete the scene.

Surfers and artists say the boy's dainty look is an insult, and that his pose is awkward. “Cardiff Kook” has replaced the official name – “Magic Carpet Ride” - in the public consciousness. Last year, a canvas-and-cardboard shark was built around the statue, seemingly devouring the surfer.

early 150 stand-up paddleboarders hit the Hudson, Harlem and East Rivers to complete in the O’Neill SEA Paddle NYC and raised more than $350,000 for its beneficiaries and Surfers’ Environmental Alliance’s environmental projects. In addition to the event’s charity paddlers, SEA’s Elite Race welcomed top competitors from the SUP industry. O’Neill team racer Rob Rojas took top honors. New Zealand’s Starboard team rider Annabel Anderson took first place in the women’s SUP division and second place overall. Lending a helping hand Garrett McNamara supported paddlers via a WaveJet powered SUP. More info: www.seapaddlenyc.org.

In came Fred Patacchia, Travis Logie and Yadin Nichol (zooming to 27 after his US Open final), who immediately informed the governing body that he was not fit to compete due to a broken fibula sustained while surfing in Japan late August. That brought John John Florence into the Top 34. ASP have promised Nichol a wildcard slot in the season-ending Billabong Pipeline Masters should he be ready to surf at that time.

SURFERS: CENTRAL AMERICA Busy Holly Beck builds, leads retreats, and gets tubed

olly Beck has started building an eco-friendly cabana at El Coco Loco resort to temporarily solve her “homelessness issues,” and also finished up two more successful Suave Dulce retreats that feature yoga, coaching sessions, surfing lessons and eco-adventures. She then went to El Salvador with the non-profit group Surf For Life, to build a high school in the town of El Cuco. In between three-hour surf sessions with Jay Nelson, Danny Hess, and a crew of San Francisco Ocean Beach chargers, the surfers spent hours shoveling dirt and working with cinder blocks and cement.

INDUSTRY: ADVERTORIAL

‘F1’ hits the Water PHENO by STARK, the new ‘Formula 1’ of surfboards

fter testing by surfers in all possible conditions the PHENO has finally arrived, courtesy of Stark Surfboards. The idea was to develop a higher performance surfboard with better flex adjusting to help make maneuvers common to aerial surfing. Inside the surfboard carbon tubes are sandwiched in a design honored by EuroSIMA in 2009. This new design concept has been dubbed “PHENO” for “Phenomenon” and was developed by French shaper, John Pierre Stark in association with Atuacores and the Notox workshop. The principle: Replace the traditional stringer with two parallel carbon tubes in the center. After laboratory studies it was decided to replace polyurethane foam with expanded polystyrene. The result was an excellent balance between rigidity and flexibility. After years of developing and testing the design, this surfboard has received validation from the surfing community. Steven Pierson (Tahiti champion) said “You have more speed with this board, and in small and hollow waves the board flexes where needed. For a powerful surfer like myself, I noticed that the board was very sturdy and snaps back easily as soon as you ease off on the foot pressure. The rebound from the carbon tubes is phenomenal. You can see the difference between this and a normal board, most notably with aerials. When landing, the board does not get hung up and thanks to carbon tubes, the board takes off again right away”. 81

INDUSTRY: ADVERTORIAL The technology was kept under wraps while both national and international patents were being sought. About Stark Surfboards: John Piere Stark started shaping in 1981 and was quickly recognized by the world’s best surfers. In his 30 years of experience Stark has shaped boards for Tom Curren, Tom Carroll, Damien Hardman, Flavio Padaratz, Vetea David (“Poto”), Didier Piter and many others… His tireless ability to listen and interpret a surfer’s need in a board has secured him a place alongside the world’s best shapers.

The New Waterman Ride ’em all, as one of the brands suggests. It’s also the mantra of a new kind of surfer who takes his inspiration from an old kind of surfer.

Nick Carroll reports

Recently I had one of those odd sideslippy moments—the cultural equivalent of losing a fin in a cutback, when all you thought was normal suddenly takes on a whole new feel. This happened during a visit to a friend of mine, a former top-ranked professional surfer, a guy with considerable style both in and out of the water, who’s always prided himself on staying tuned to highperformance surfing, and equipment too. So what was he into now? Longboard? Retro Fish? Cop-out. No way. As soon as I walked in the door, he insisted we go stand up paddleboarding. A 14-foot C4 Vortic....... to be continued.

Who’s Bluffing?

It has become the vague du jour for the hairy-chested crew, with some absolutely epic rides recorded in 2008. None more so than this sequence of Aussie hellman Ryan Hipwood, who survives an airy moment with grace on the face.
