Clips of the Day- From Occy To Slater To Owen



You probably watched the final day of the Hurley Pro while 'working' at your office desk, but for those of you who missed it due to deadlines, piles of paperwork, or just being a good employee, here's the highlights from today. Typical Slater destroying it on odd equipment ('odd' meaning he's the only guy who would ride a 5'9" quad at 4' Lowers and 12' Teahupoo). Good clips of Jordy, Fanning, Parko, Adriano, and Taj too (where's all the young guns like Kolohe, Gabe, Pupo, Wilko, Owen, etc? At least Julian and John John showed their face. Dane where art thou)?


Speaking of Owen- I thought I'd give him some props with another Clip of the Day- this time showcasing some fun Australian beach break. Nothing but fun chest high clear water wedges with you and your mates. No wonder the kid has world title potential. I would too if this beach break was my home spot. No- seriously. I'd be world champ too. Laugh all you want.

And if you're not keen on Owen being the new Occy, then take a look at Occy being new again at the 2012 Margaret River contest this past spring. A Prime Event no less, Occy took down some of the world's best on his way to a semi-final finish. If you think Slater's still got it at age 40, then Occy's still the man at age 46!
