• Seems that Joel Tudor's name got trademarked in Japan by some company, so now he's having to sell his boards under a new label. Imagine not being able to use the name you spent 30 years of surfing building?

• The Rip Curl Pro starts today. In comparison to the Billabong Pro JBAY site which was super fast and easy to use, the Rip Curl Pro site is a massive failure. Security cert to view video?

• Sequence images of a shark doing a drive by on a New Smyrna Beach surfer. Wild. The natural law of the ocean is, if it's bigger than you, it can eat you. So why is a smaller shark so bold about cruising up to a larger animal? If there were more natural prey, would this encounter have happened?
