Last week, as Hurricane Katia churned off the coast, I flew up to New York to catch some surf and check out the Quiksilver Pro New York. The biggest surf contest of all time was being held right at home, and I couldn’t miss it. Katia provided us with some fun waves, and proved to be a great playing field for the world’s top 32 to throw down…. Kelly Slater, getting some cover right outside of NYC.

Quiksilver Pro New York Day 1 Photos
Some photos I took at the Quiksilver Pro NY today. To see the rest of them click here.
Next week’s swell forecast for the East Coast. Fingers crossed for the Quik Pro in NY!
Even though the Quiky Pro New York was announced in January, it’s still surprising and gets me pumped to see Long Island as a stop on the ASP schedule.
Mick Fanning has done it again. Yesterday he won the Quiksilver Pro France making it two contests in a row that he’s taken down 1st place. Mick is sitting 2nd in the world, only 150 points behind Joel Parkinson. With 3 contests left, the race for the world title is about to get really interesting.
Mick isn’t the only one still in it to be number one at the end of the year. Anyone in the top 10 has a chance. Keep an eye on Kelly Slater, with a 3rd place last contest and a 5th place at the Quiksilver Pro, he is now in the 5th spot and about 1200 points out of 1st place.
The next contest is the Billabong Pro in Mundaka, Spain which starts next week on October 5th.
