Kelly Slater out at Mavericks!

Oh no!

Shane Dorian is out too.

Dorian was injured recently on his Portugal trip.

While Slater cites a conflict with the ASP.

Apparently, the Mavericks Invitational is part of the Big Wave World Tour and the ASP will fine/penalize Slater if he participates in this non-ASP-sanctioned event.

Despite losing its two biggest stars, Mavericks is set for tomorrow amidst perfect weather and conditions.

Jordy Smith 2012 Review

Nice month to month look at Jordy Smith’s 2012. Good variety of waves too, though probably featuring more small waves than bigger ones.

Powerful surfing all over the world.

Music is alright. Pretty mellow. Video is 3:42 long.

This is a tough one to rate. Not too much big waves, but it’s Jordy Smith after all …

Fractions By Matt Kleiner

Models plus great surfers equals Five Point Video right?

Well, not quite.

Despite featuring surfers John John Florence, Chippa Wilson, Jordy Smith, Asher Pacey, Josh Kerr and models Kerstin John, Terese Amgren, Chyna Powers, Carmen Santo, the video never really got going.

Super slow and when there was action, it was in slo-mo.

I really wanted to like this clip and the production value was there. Just really fell short. 4:50.
