Who is the founder of rvca

Three years ago, to the day-ish , famous waterperson Laird Hamilton was stopped in his Malibu by celebrity news gatherer TMZ and asked about shark attacks. The length of that sucker was like 8 feet. It went right towards her, and as the wave lifted her up [on her board], it literally went right under her. In any case, it is unclear if menstruation was a factor or not but it can be certain that Laird Hamilton is sitting in his Malibu compound right now, maybe in an ice bath, drinking an invigorating cup of coffee mixed with his eponymous SuperFood Creamer.

Last week, I spent one fascinating hour examining the new military-grade crankshaft tourniquets of Mr Jon Cohen, the emergency department doctor who has made it his business to stem the death rate from Great White shark attacks in Australia. Rip it open, pour the calico package onto the sand, it unfurls, the instructions are printed on the fabric and out spills the crank-shaft tourniquet, a smaller SWAT version you can keep in your wetsuit, as well as plastic gloves, and various pads for mopping up the expected torrent of blood.

Jon lives in Sydney most of the year but spends a little time each year in the ED of Esperance Hospital in south-west Australia, a town reeling from recent multiple attacks by Great Whites.

Seventeen-year-old surfer Laeticia Brouwer , killed; Sean Pollard, a surfer, left arm and right hand gone; Gary Johnson , hit by a White as soon as he dived into the water to set his anchor, killed.

Cases like that are preventable deaths. His goal is to have a shark bite kit at all the main beaches, and he runs regular classes on what to do if a White takes a limb. After that it was balls to the wall, so to speak. Freedom is something precious. He would be designing, talking to artists, curating stuff. He did a bunch of projects. My dad has been invited to the White House by the Obama administration as an example of a successful small business owner.

The pressure is on. He helps a lot of people, friends and strangers, straight up. You can also cop the latest RVCA at their online store. Staff Stories and posts contributed by the BallerStatus staff and editors.

I train or teach a few days a week. I also box and do MMA. We have a private training facility at the RVCA headquarters. Valmorbida, sent me this custom, all-black Rolex as a thank you gift. It was very generous of them. The necklace came from this art gallery and store in Newport Beach called A'Maree's.

I was just blown away by his vision and his commitment to making things well. Now I order shoes from Visvim every season. Being a pro surfing fan, even a reluctant one, was an easy game to play for twenty years.

Lock in behind Kelly, then Andy, then Dane, or whatever member of the Coolie crew got you hard, get your mind blown, then hit it and quit while you were ahead. Ignore the back-markers unless they went deep into the draw. But no, now we have to wade through acres and acres of over-coached torrid journeymen viciously hurling sixes and sevens at each other.

At least, so far anyhow. John is no Kelly. Ronnie Blakey said the new judging scale was a boon for spectators, that it made it more exciting. It seemed as if judges had completely screwed the spread on the opening exchange with Wade Carmichael, handing it to Wade instead of Jordy.

A second look showed Wade clearly out-powered him, and did so again to take the heat. Jordy raged against the judging scale but the brutal truth is he safety surfed, knowing safety surfing was to be penalised. But in retrospect a second look showed Wade clearly out-powered him, and did so again to take the heat. Jordy raged against the judging scale but the brutal truth is he safety surfed, knowing safety surfing was to be penalised and suffered the consequences.

I was curious to see how Fanning would be scored now that the judging panel has decreed the Fanning era over. And the answer was, as expected, low. Seabass opened up a two-point spread on the opening exchange and that really should have been a heat winning lead, based on current scoring. Seabass bought the pup, scored a three and Fanning had nothing much more to do except ride a set wave, protect the lead with priority and enjoy the love of the victorian surf fan. By the by, how refreshing, how relaxing to just have six heats for the morning then call the thing off?

If the Wave Pool comp does nothing else than make suits reconsider format it will have been worth it. Eight hours straight of pro surfing would drive the Dalai Lama to pharmaceuticals. As it turned out, three hours, six heats, felt sublime. Griff had plenty to say in the booth yesterday. He identified the opening turn as the one being paid most heavily by judges.

The primacy, recency effect. The things we remember, judges included. He has the best closing turn on tour. As seen at Haliewa, as seen at Bells this morning. That whole-body huck will win many heats but you need something at the start to make it conclusive. Wilko put two huge turns with air drops as punctuation on a heat winning wave to put the heat away.

Is Bells going to mean anything by years end? Is Snapper?
