Tyler and Russell Smith Competing at Nelscott

noreply@blogger.com (Vans Surf) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:59:00 +0000

Nelscott Reef is the perfect tow in wave. Long rides with wide open faces allow for high performance surfing like no where else on the planet. With no major obstacles, like cliffs or rocks, and 1/2 mile of deep channel before the neck breaking beach break, Nelscott is all about sick moves and long rides on huge waves. Good luck to Tyler and Russell Smith competing as a team!

FUEL TV Airs "Insane Cinema: Pipeline Masters"

noreply@blogger.com (Vans Surf) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:50:00 +0000

Directed by Stacey Peralta (Dogtown & Z-Boys), Pipeline Masters is the remarkable story of the groundbreaking surfing competition that has, since its inception in 1971, defined extreme. Held in the fearsome tubes of Hawaii’s Banzai Pipeline, the Masters stands alone as the sport’s most popular, prestigious competitive event. For more than 35 years there has been only one surf contest where the winner earns more than money, more than fame, or ratings points, but rather the surfing world’s most coveted title: Pipeline Master.

Airing Thursday, October 8, at 8:00pm ET/PT in SurfSpot, and re-airing several more times over the next month, FUEL TV will air “Insane Cinema: Pipeline Masters.”

“Insane Cinema: Pipeline Masters” Air Date:
Thursday, 10/8/2009 8:00pm ET/5:00pm PT in SurfSpot
