Surf photographer, Ryan Miller, sent us a video the other day of some epic party footage of him and a few mates. It was shot in Scotland a few weeks ago while everyone was there for the Oneill Highland Open in Thurso. We had no idea what we were in for….. These guys were going totally nuclear at some radical euro club. There was wild trance dancing, double-dutch jump roping, and an enough air humping to make your head spin. He said to put it up on the blog… We emailed him back to double check and his response was,”Fuck yeah blow that thing up!!!!!!!!”….. so here it is! I am sure you will see some familiar faces. Enjoy!

What do you miss about your hometown? What don’t you miss?
When I leave, I miss my family, friends and dog.
As we all know, local boy Jamie O’Brien, took the 2008 Da Hui Backdoor Shootout back in January and took home a cool $50,000. He was followed by Bruce Irons who nabbed $25k and Ola Eleogram who brought home $15 g’s. DC Shoes just released the following footy from the contest. As you can see from the waves, this contest proved to have some of the best conditions at Pipeline in recent memory.
Could UNIV and Chris Cote, Transworld Surf’s animated editor in chief, be the perfect recipe for a surfboard collabo? UNIV seems to think so and they teamed up with Cote to create an awesome artsy surfboard to stimulate your steez.
This sounds like a win-win to me as UNIV gets to team up with a living legend in Chris Cote, and at the same time they get some play in Transworld Surf as Transworld is planning on doing a feature on the surfboard very soon. On the other hand, UNIV gets a great board to sell in their shop to drive sales.
The surfboard is a four-fin double-ender, meaning it can be ridden both forward and backwards with ease. Oh and did I mention it features all kinds of random weapons and things?
Stay tuned to Transworld Surf Magazine to get the latest scoop on this rad-looking board.
Sometimes you just get those perfect moments when surfing… You may never get your ‘perfect moment’ or you may get lucky and have a few throughout your lifetime. I think it’s safe to say that Keith Bass got his by surfing with dolphins on friday.
These shots were taken by Jerrod Mills at Port Aransas last friday. According to Jerrod, the dolphin bumped Keith’s board as it flew out of the water. Stoked!

Kelly Slater is an amazing human being. The guy wasn’t even going to compete in this contest, but he ends up winning the thing. We don’t have much details at this point other than I think Slater is an alien. For realsies.
So basically to sum up what is going on with Kelly Slater right now is… Yes he has made up his mind to compete in the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach. See the thing is, Kelly wasn’t going to compete at first and withdrew from the event late last week. As expected, many were bummed on Slater’s decision.
Kelly then got online and noticed how bummed people were and in his own words, he had this to say about the situation, ”A combination of things influenced my decision to come to Bells. I had called ASP Tour Manager Renato Hickel to ask to be officially taken out of the event and that is when he asked me if I had seen the swell forecast.”
So the swell looks good, Slater is happy, what more could you want? It’s on!
