You heard it here first - By making the Quarterfinals of the Pipe contest, Mick Fanning is the new 2009 World Champ!  Parko had a chance to win, but lost earlier today, making it automatic for Eugene.  Congrats Mick!  By the way, if you aren't watching the contest, click here and go check it out.  Waves are 6 to 8 feet and perfect!  Now, back to Nicaragua... 

It is Lucha Libre here with the Saturday surf report.  Today we headed out to the beach expecting to ride some small but fun waves but when we first got there surprisily we saw some sweet waves coming in.  It was running about chest to head high with some sporadic over head waves on sets here and there.  The wind was offshore and the water is still pretty clear and chilly.  Check it out!!!
