2013 Volcom Fiji Pro - Day Three Highlights
The swell jumped up from yesterday and this morning it quickly became evident that Restaurants would be the best venue for today's competition. The waves were pumping all day right in front of Tavarua where the world tour surfers were taking their craft to another level with long barrels, critical turns and fierce competitive strategy at one of surfing's most exciting playing fields.

SURFERS NOT STREET CHILDREN | O'NEILL We’re proud to launch a limited collection that is inspired by the story of Surfers Not Street Children. Surfers Not Street Children is a program to identify and empower street children in South Africa and Mozambique with the goal to help transform a child’s future and help them build a life of self-sustainability and independence. This collection is inspired by the iconic SNSC Durban Headquarters door design painted by the children of the program under the direction of a fellow supporter and Durban artist, Mook Lion. About Surfers Not Street Children: Surfers Not Street Children was founded in 1998 by activist and surfer, Tom Hewitt MBE. Originally under the name Durban Street Team (DST), it was run by a maverick crew of social workers, carers and activists scouting the streets of downtown Durban to identify and assist homeless street children. The organization fused mentorship and care with arts and sports programs—including surfing, which the children totally embraced, leading to the organization to be renamed Surfers Not Street Children. The organization has played a major role in the response to the street children phenomenon in Durban, and empowered many children to leave street life. Many have gone on to engage in global advocacy and fight a frontline battle for the rights of local street children, and they’ve had a great impact on changing how society perceived and treated street children in South Africa. Through it all, surfing has been the heart and identity of the organization, and the model of fusing surfing with mentorship and care became the backbone of the work that continues today in Durban and Tofo.

Portuguese Perfection w/ Leo, Kanoa, Morgan and Italo | WSL Championship Tour The world’s best surfers scored pumping waves in the depths of the Portuguese winter while in Peniche for the MEO Pro Portugal, and our man Scotty Hammonds was there to film the best of it. Supertubes lived up to its name in the pre-game, serving up icy Atlantic cylinders for our squad of CT rippers, everyone from Italo Ferreira and Jordy Smith, to Leo Fioravanti, Kanoa Igarashi and Morgan Cibilic. It wasn’t just the Red Bull crew getting stuck into the pits and wedges on offer, with heavy hitters like John John Florence and Jack Robinson joining Aussie underdogs Ethan Ewing and Ryan Callinan in putting on a hard hitting display. Queen Carissa Moore and Malia Manuel fly the flag for Hawaii, while the Californian connection of Kolohe Andino and eventual contest winner Griffin Colapinto proves once again why they’re deadly when the surf is firing. Press play above to witness the show, and stay tuned for more post-even recaps from every WSL Championship Tour to come in 2022. Enjoy!
