Home of, The Regular Guy and Adventure
Some kids bring the noise and Jack Robinson has had plenty of noise around his rise to the top of surfing. At 16 years old the young Ozzie is fast becoming the “It” kid and many are claiming him as the next big thing in surfing.
While not the biggest name in the wake game, Rusty Malinoski has always been one of my favorites to watch ride. Big lines, style and huge strength (Just check the handle passes.)
Rusty Malinoski has always had a different approach to the sport of Wakeboarding than most others. Rusty’s hard core work ethic, confidence and competitive approach has taken him onto winning many National and World championships throughout his career. Growing older now, Rusty still has that competitive drive and desire to want to win at any level and all the time. Rusty hasn’t let off the gas yet. He feels he still has more to share with the sport and his competitors.
Surfing the heaviest wave in Indonesia is a difficult task at the best of times, but when Murphy’s Law and Mother Nature team up against you then life can get pretty miserable. Undeterred, Ryan Hipwood, Mikala Jones, Riley Laing and Alex Gray overcome breakdowns at sea, dodgy backyard ski repairs and atrocious weather to score some outrageous barrels.
By now you all know that the greatest action sports show in the World is arriving this weekend in Cape Town, with Nitro Circus Live on Saturday 15 February 2014. Fmx, Bmx, Skate, tricycles, big wheels, scooters and the list goes on, all getting jumped over huge mega ramps along with laughs, music and a stellar cast of some of the best x athletes on the planet. For a taste of what to expect just check the video below!
I have a double ticket to give away for the show in Cape Town this week and it is easy to win. All you have to do is tell me on twitter what you would do to meet Travis Pastrana (@TravisPastrana) in the flesh and tag myself, Captain Kai (@KapteinKai) and 2 oceans Vibe Radio (@2ovfm) such as this:
“I would shave my nuts to meet @travispastrana at @nitrocircuslive with @kapteinkai and @2ovfm” (My example you would replace the part saying I would shave my nuts)
I will announce the winner on Friday morning with Rhys on his show, but the draw will be done on Thursday at the stadium by one of the Nitro crew. (Please note terms and conditions apply, see www.2oceansviberadio.com for terms.)
Good luck and see you Saturday!
With the Billabong Pro about to start in 2 days time, some of the Pros give us their take on what not to do at the infamous wave at Teahupoo. Some of my favorites are, “When the wave be here, dont be there!” and John John Florence, “Dont go right! haha” My Billabong Pro preview will be up tomorrow morning once the heat draw is live.

I came across this funky edit from the big Dungeons swell last week. I really enjoyed it and the guy filmed, edited and made the music, so uber creative. Oh and there are some pretty mammoth waves being surfed! (I really want to know who the guy on the Red Board is… he gets nailed throughout the video!)

Welcome to Tasmania and the original Slab Wave from hell! With some of the new discoveries the last few years we tend to forget about Shipsterns Bluff, but I cam across this video with footage from the last few years and it all came back to me. Sit back, hold your breath and remember why this is one of the heaviest waves on the planet! (Check out the guy getting owned in the impact zone at the end, my lungs hurt for him!)

Oooh I love Fridays! The start of the weekend and of course I get to put together another great Friday Mix. I was spoilt for choice this week, but I reckon I nailed it with these three videos…
First up the Sultan of strange, Dave Hubbard, going mental on a bodyboard. He even surfs it…
Next up it’s South African BMX Phenom, Moe Peters! This guy should be overseas and getting PAID the big bucks. He is on another level.
Lastly check out the trailer for new snow film, Into the Mind, from the guys at Sherpa Films. I could watch it all day.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the mix!

Into The Mind – Official Teaser from Sherpas Cinema on Vimeo.
It has been a while since an epic and grand big mountain film has hit our screens, so i am really excited to see this one!
Blur the lines between dream state and reality, as you perceive the world through the minds of many. Into the Mind contemplates the experiences passed between mentors and peers to paint a philosophical portrait of human kind. What drives us to overcome challenge? How do we justify risk? What forces are at the core of a mountain addiction? Unique athlete segments over a multitude of mountain sport genres depict the connectivity of Earth, and window into never seen before moments. Explore how we begin our perception of self, construct the foundations of confidence, and are ultimately led up the path of self-actualization.
As Buddha once said, “The mind is everything. What you think you become.”
Into The Mind is about becoming.
