The 1st Annual NJ Surf Show took place on Saturday May 12th at Joey Harrison's Surf Club in Ortley Beach. This industry event, presented by Bamboo Booboo, Epic Shirts and Rozbern Surf, brought the local surf, skate and fashion scene all together at the beach! It was an amazing day to walk around, listen to live music, go surfing, and lounge with cocktails on the beach...Surf Club Style! In the morning, there was a non competitive open-surf contest for Groms (ages 10-17) hosted by Epic Shirts with Hyperflex Wetsuits giving away brand new Spring Wetsuit packages to the best riders.

Hawaii's John John Florence created one of professional surfing's most dramatic moments today to claim his second consecutive Volcom Pipe Pro title, completely flipping the table on former Pipe Pro champion Jamie O'Brien (Hawaii) in the final seconds. O'Brien had held the lead for 34 minutes and 45 seconds of the 35-minute final... and then it evaporated before his eyes.
He came to Hawaii looking to fulfill a childhood dream and humbly gain experience at the world's most revered and feared surf spot: the Banzai Pipeline. But 20-year-old New York pro surfing rookie Balaram Stack scored one of surfing's rarest waves: a perfect 10 on a fearsome day deemed only for warriors at the Volcom Pipe Pro. Fifteen-to-20 foot Pipe doled out its fair share of injuries, snapped surfboard and bruised pride today. No-one imagined that the kid from New York would steal the show, unscathed.
Conditions settled down at the Banzai Pipeline today and yesterday's death-defying closeouts were replaced by long, hollow tubes at the Volcom Pipe Pro. California's Chris Ward and Costa Rican Carlos Munoz put on incredible performances at Backdoor that saw them clearly emerge the pacesetters.

BANZAI PIPELINE, Oahu/Hawaii (Saturday, December 10, 2011) - Kieren Perrow (AUS), 34, has won the most coveted surfing event in the world - the Billabong Pipe Masters in Memory of Andy Irons - over fellow countryman Joel Parkinson (AUS), 30, in tricky double-overhead surf. The result came after three consecutive days of competition in some of the biggest, deadliest and best Pipe conditions in history. The event also set a record for the most online viewers in ASP history.

On September 1st, everything changes. Slater, Fanning, Parko, Jordy, Bede, Dane Reynolds, the Hobgoods and the whole rest of the elite 34 will be in NY for the Quiksilver Pro in Long Beach.  Make no mistake, their presence on our shores is no small event. We’ll have the best of the best on our local stage, showing us how it’s done. And the stage has the potential to test these guys like few outside our area are expecting.

Florida's Asher Nolan wins the final wildcard into the Quiksilver Pro New York.

The Quiksilver Pro New York supported by vitamin water continued for the second consecutive day at Long Beach in Long Island, New York and saw the completion of Round 2 as well as the first four heats of Round 3. 

The world's best surfers tore through a marathon day of competition with some incredible performances at the Quiksilver Pro New York, supported by vitaminwater, to decide the event's quarterfinalists in pumping six foot (1.5 metre) surf. World champion Kelly Slater, young Australian Josh Kerr, and Brazil's Heitor Alves were show-stopping.
