Joel Parkinson wins the ASP surfing title, Two of our photos at Sunset Beach

Although we were rooting for Kelly Slater to take home his 12th ASP world title congrats to Joel Parkinson on the win. We have been lucky enough to watch Parkinson surf at Sunset Beach in the past. These two photos of ours were taken of Parko at Sunset Beach, in Hawaii. Joel Parkinson won his first ASP World Title last Friday on the final day of the Billabong Pipeline Masters on Oahu’s North Shore when Kelly Slater failed to advance out of his semifinal heat. Parkinson also secured his first Pipe Masters event victory later in the day. A newcomer to surfing’s top spot, Australia’s Parkinson, 31, has four runner-up world title finishes in his 11-year career on tour. The last time he surfed in a title match was also at Pipeline, where he lost to fellow Aussie Mick Fanning in 2009. Though Parkinson had not won a world tour event since early 2011, the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach, he had been deadly consistent this season, making several finals and never finishing worse than ninth place. He had been the points leader for the back half of the season.

McPherson grew up in rural southeastern Oklahoma, near the town of Talihina. He took up the guitar at age 13. In high school he played in a number of local punk rock bands and began writing his own songs.

State of Grind: Saturday Session

My good friend Chach Law has been trying to get a indoor skate park going in Whatcom County for quite some time and he has continued to make progress. Last Saturday he put on a skate session / pizza party with the help of UnKnown Board shop and Cicchitti’s Pizza. I only stopped by for about 20 minutes to show some support and here’s some images I captured. Next time there is an State of Grind event you can bet the ole 10.5mm fisheye and I will be there.

Pipeline Barrel Sequences (Epic Surf)

Photo-barrell sequences from 20-foot + Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. All the photos were captured and edited together by Matt McDonald. “When I was in high school I would browse the pages of Surfer Magazine mesmerized by the photos of Pipeline in Hawaii. Those images are what inspired me to become a photographer and eventually create this video. That being said watch and enjoy.” – Matt Music by: Flume Song: Sleepless (feat. Jezzabell Doran) More Photos and Video at: http://www.equalmotion.com
