Ross just checked in and looks pretty damn satisfied sitting on the couch on the North Shore of Oahu... Ross said, "I've been back in Hawaii for a week now.. After a few days of small playful surf the real deal Pipeline came alive on Friday. After talking it over with Jeff and Skipp it was quite possibly the best Pipe we've seen in a few years. There was a lot of Big heavy wash through sets that would close out the whole break. It was pretty hairy and Skipp and I got caught inside like 10 times!"

   

1.19.08

Skipp's looking to fly back to Oahu as the Backdoor Shootout contest is over and it's back to work for Skipp at the Pipeline!

   

1.12.08

Thursday on the North Shore was EPIC for towing the outer reefs. Here's a frame grab of Thursday afternoon's tow session with Nelz and Lanson Ronquilio on one of the secret outer reefs. this afternoon the swell consistently pumped out solid 15' hawaiian size waves! Lanson and Nelz have been towing together for the past 3 winter seasons.....and yes, da Ronk still throws it down on this boogie at Pipe on the nutz days! we just set him up with a new '08 Skipp Comp 43 CT and he's amped!

Major style gouging on his new '08 Lime Green Skipp Style signature model!

   

1.11.08

It's not often, infact very rarely does Surfline throws down the term EPIC, but indeed Thursday was EPIC for the North Shore of Oahu. Conditions were perfect for the outer reef Tow In teams, with a light offshore wind and a perfect WNW swell that consistently pumped out 10-15' ++ waves ALL day..

a day that could be indeed called EPIC...

   

1.10.08

Finally opening day for legit 8-10' Pipeline but unfortunately also the start of the Da Hui's Backdoor Shootout contest. a little window early morning let some of the boys get some waves before it started.. contest ended up getting halted mid day as the waves just got too big for Pipe

Happy Z launching BIG on his new signature model, Da Hapz 42!

Crosstraining is the key to staying in the water and becoming the complete waterman.. Stand up paddle surfing, surfboard, longboard, fish, tow-in surfing, and of course BODYBOARDING!

1.7.08

The North Shore could be waking up from it's 3 week sleep and he's taken notice. Ross is headed back to Hawaii this week for the new run of swells. The Eastern Pacific has been very quite this time of year and Hawaii has had mostly zonal (small windswell) patterns.

Ross is hoping for some OTW wall action like this pic above. It's gotta start sometime... right..?

   

1.6.08

12.30.07

Crosstraining is what Ross has been doing back in San Diego.

"The surf has been pretty small so I've been doing alot of Stand Up Paddle boarding. It's a really good work out that engages your core muscles, legs, arms and mind. It keeps you in to water too because it can be dead flat and you can still have a blast riding 1 foot junk. I highly recommend it." said Ross

 

 



   

12.29.07

Bodyboard season at Pipeline has finally arrived!

"a full under the radar WNW swell, strong offshores and wedgy drainers made it hard for the fiberglass standups so we just took over some really fun Pipe, ahhh it feels so good to get PITTED!" says Skipp

 

 



   

12.28.07

a few days ago he headed south across the border and scored some EPIC winter Baja Mex waves and called LMNOP headquarters to rub it all in... Be careful and travel during daylight hours if you head down into Baja.

Ok fans, we have been unsuccessful in finding Skippy Guys another Toyota truck to his likings. we test drove a couple trucks this weekend, but they were not mechanically sound as the Blue Machine that was STOLEN 5 days ago!

Skipp is in need of some big barrels to take his mind off his loss,his head has fallen even deeper into those hands (see last news update). he's bordering on depression now! need waves!

   

10.10.07::.

Ok fans, the "Pimp that North Shore Ride" show has been put on hold for now! a major bump in the road as Skipp's project truck which was on it's last stages of completion got stolen last night in front of Nelz' house! ouch! what a major bummer man!

10.5.07::.

Stage 2 of "Pimp that North Shore Ride" went down today in Tijuana, Mexico, where we picked up Skipp's freshly painted '88 Toyota 4X4!

Stage 3 is all black 15x7 inch modular wheels and limo tinted windows before he ships the North Shore beast to Hawaii for it's final home. look for Skipp's truck to be a regular fixture in the Ehukai parking lot this winter!

9.18.07::.

With one of the most dismal summer's of recent So.Cal history the boys are already well into weeks of training for the upcoming late South swells and early North Shore season. Ross and Skipp have been talking about a potential South Pacific journey if the forecasts look good, or a trip to Hawaii for the first swell of the winter! All right kids, time to get those new boards and start training cause the Fall and Winter seasons are upon us!

The 3rd Annual NYBB Pro went down on Sunday, Sept 9th, 2007 at Lido beach in Hempstead, NY. The international field of riders battled it out in the tough and small 2-3ft conditions. It was an all Hawaiian showing in the finals with close friends Skipp and Hubb going wave for wave til the end. it was ultimately Jeff's day, but we want to congradulate our boy Skipp for taking home 2nd place!! Not too bad for a guy who gets paid to surf only one wave in the world, ...the PIPELINE !
