What happens when the three Gudauskas brothers all end up in the same heat? We’ll find out soon as heat #6 of the round of 32 in The O’neill World Cup of Pro Surfing approaches. What makes this heat even more interesting is the fact that Tanner is sitting on the bubble of qualifying for the WCT. Going into the event in 16th place on the WQS, he needs to better his lowest result of 1225pt to finish in the top 15 to make it to the big leagues. With a huge round of 64 heat win of 14.24 in big 15+ Hawaiian conditions, Tanner is now in a position to better his lowest result by 300pts with at least a 3rd place finish in the round of 32. Given that there are several surfers right behind him in the ratings, every point is going to count towards his qualification. What strategy will the Gudauskas brothers use? Only time will tell…

What would you do?

It’s that time of the year again — the best time of the year! Baguettes, cafe, siestas, beautiful women, great people and an abundance of world-class waves waiting just a tidal swing away. I’m talking about Europe. This is without a doubt one of our favorite legs of the slog all year long. And with some new stops in the Azores and Zarautz on the contest schedule, it added the perfect spice to the European menu.

People Know Tiago… And for that we say, “Thank you.”
One of my favorite things about coming to Europe is their endless support of their surfers. They really exude passion — chanting, cheering and they regard their surfers as national and worldwide recognizable icons, a true representation of their own spirit, blood and country.

Heading down to the Azores, most all competitors had to depart from Lisbon, Portugal in order to reach the island chain. The planes were small and packed with WQS competitors, so obviously, by first instinct you get that sinking feeling that your board bag might not be showing up on your same flight. Hell, sometimes they never show up.

Hey guys!

We just uploaded some of the images from the game reserve trip we did on my birthday! Make no mistake these animals are crazy real and crazy big! We were tripping out. IT was awesome because you paid the toll, which was about 8 dollars for every person, and you just drove your car into the park. Kinda like jurassic park, the size of the park was enormous. We spent about 4 hours inside and stayed until dark. We didn’t get to see the lions but just about everything else was spotted including one dane dog ha!
