Who Blew Up?
Issue 16
All of the contributors and advertisers to theBOMBsurf Issue 16. Now at the printers, the most beautiful and varied publication that we’ve ever put together awaits you, from mid to end November. Special mentions must go to Fred Pompermayer for the incredible cover sequence of Dorian getting spat out of a monster at Jaws, to Jon Ivins (our long suffering designer) who worked the deadline with a lung infection and to the boys at The Digital Stoke Distillery, Bryan and Jono for squeezing us in amongst their ‘real’ clients. Beauty, adventure, travel, intrigue and some alternative ways to ride waves all await you in this issue.
Taylor Knox
Taylor Knox. He schooled the laaites Julian ‘Claim’ Wilson and Alejo Muniz in Round One at Steamer Lane. The veteran campaigner showed he still has the street smarts required to cause problems for the younger guard by sending them both into the cut-throat reality of R2. A sober experience for Mr Wilson fresh of his victory in Portugal no doubt.
Nat Young
Nat Young. It is not often you get to beat Kelly Slater in a heat, but the 21 year old winner of the trials proved he has the BMT to operate in the big Leagues by getting one over The King and prodigy Kolohe Andino. We’ll see how he goes in R3, but at this point he has nothing to loose and everything to gain.
Who Blew it?
Dusty Payne
Slater. Woops a R1 loss to a local wild card is gonna upset Kelly for sure. His margin for error just got dramatically reduced. That said Slater is gnarly when he is in a corner. He now goes up against Jason Collins another local wildcard in R2. Kelly can’t let Joel get away from him here, so this is a heat he desperately needs to win to stay in the game.
Mick Fanning and the pumpkin man
Mick Fanning. Mick’s World Title campaign took another beating in R1, this time at the hands of the re-emerging young Hawaiian, Dusty Payne. Mick needs to regroup, win his next heat and go on to win the event if he is to have a realistic shot this year.
Eddie would have invited Chris Bertish...
The selectors to the Quiksilver Eddie event. While we laud the inclusion of John John into the line-up of invited surfers and can’t wait to see him in some solid juice, and we are stoked to see Twiggy cracked the nod again, we’re left scratching our heads at the exclusion of Chris Bertish. Yes he is an alternate along with long time Waimea charger Andy Marr, but seriously how the selectors can not include Chris Bertish, the reigning Mavericks Champion has left us scratching our heads. |
