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.

What's up

Scoring Australian Perfection w/ Molly, Kanoa, Morgan and Italo | WSL Championship Tour The World’s Go Coast To Coast Down Under The Australian leg of the WSL Championship Tour scored a little bit of everything this in 2022. From pumping waves at Bells Beach and Winkipop in Victoria to heaving Margaret River and The Box when they ventured to Western Australia, there was no shortage of waves or wild action when the world’s best surfers hit town. Jordy Smith openings up proceedings in the West before Leo Fioravanti charges out of the gates at heaving Box, supported by an all-star cast; take a bow Kelly Slater, Molly Picklum, Nathan Florence, Jack Robinson, Kolohe Andino, John John Florence, Griffin Colapinto, Ethan Ewing, Imai Devault and Betty Lou Sakura Johnson. Back over east things get a little more classical as Carissa Moore and Italo Ferreira are unleashed on some beautiful wide-open walls, alongside rookie standout Callum Robson, Zeke Lau, Sally Fitzgibbons, Stephanie Gilmore, Gabriela Bryan, Brisa Hennessy, Luana Silva, Ryan Callinan, Conner Coffin, Morgan Cibilic, Sammy Pupo, Connor O’Leary, and none other than three-time-world-champion-turned-wildcard Mick Fanning. If you like fresh free-surf action straight out of the WSL oven you’re going to love this tasty treat filmed and edited for you by Scotty Hammonds. Enjoy!

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.
