GOLD COAST, Queensland/Australia (Tuesday, August 31, 2010) – Teahupoo is finally underway and it’s going to be a key event for everybody in the ASP Top 45, not just the guys fighting to escape the cut-off after this event. I’m safe, but I want to back up my Semifinal finish at J-Bay in South Africa [...]

LOS ANGELES, California/USA (Thursday, February 18, 2010) – Bede Durbidge (AUS), 26, current ASP World No. 3 is having a good run as of late.

GOLD COAST, Queensland/Australia (Monday, February 8, 2010) – Ever since Simon Anderson’s breakthrough with the thruster, surfers on the pro tour have looked for any design edge they can get. Board design is a constant evolution and if there’s any way for those of us on the ASP World Tour to improve our performance, we’ll [...]
