Come out to Surf n Sea Friday the 7th of December for an epic backyard bbq hosted by Billabong.
Come meet the Billabong surf team including Joel Parkinson, Jack Freestone & Josh Moniz.
Get an autograph from your favorite pro, and then head out back for a free bbq on the beach.
Friday, December 7th, from 3:3- to 5:30 at Surf n Sea.
Joel Parkinson is in the lead for contention to take the ASP World Title, to be decided at the Pipeline Masters competition coming up soon.
He is leading the stats, with Kelly Slater a close 2nd, Mick Fanning next, and JJ Florence in current 4th place.
Many people are rooting for Parko to take the crown, having been in this same position many times before, and some say, sitting in the prime postion to take the title, his first ever.

A terrific way to have fun and do good works for kids and the environment in Hawaii is to volunteer for our surfstainable surf camps!

What can we say, our volunteers are awesome!!!!
Leenie and Billie did this cool sustainable time line and also a circle of life demonstration, we had a terrific discussion on our sustainable responsibilities to the island, ocean and each other. Even Faryn got to join us, congrats again our fabulous official Ocean Girl Project surfing masseuse!!
Our fourth day, more reg-u-lar type surfing at the famous bowls, it got big and we let the rippers go wild, well not too wild, Auntie Colleen wouldn’t let them out to the way over head sets. We had one girl scared to death in the ocean and she rode her first wave thanks to encouragement and help from volunteer Keli Rae, it was inspiring to all of us!! Every one of the newbies rode waves, they were stoked!!!
In-between was more fun and more playing..
We had a wonderful time surfing, beach cleaning, loving, learning. singing and by the end of the week we were ohana.
more soon…Day 5
Our first morning at surf camp was incredible, we began in a circle with a Hawaiian blessing, and ten super excited surfers.
We got all mixed up at first, which was really funny and knot easy!
After a heart pumping beach stroll, we got a terrific ocean/water safety lesson by Lifeguard Helene Phillips, assisted by our personal water patrol surf dude Dustin. I love seeing our surfboards in the back!
The girls swam, did rescues and some had their first paddling lessons. Leia came on the atv and talked to the girls about the importance of what they were learning and how we can use this to better our confidence while surfing.
