The Huntington Beach local claimed victory at the 2010 US Open of Surfing. Brett beat out South African surfer, Jordy Smith, the current ASP #1. Simpson’s heat total of 13.97 out of 20 topped Smith’s score of 8.33, making him the first back-to-back Open winner since Mark Occhilupo in 1985-86.
Simpson took home a record $100,000 for winning the Open. A pretty nice payday for surfing about 1,000 waves this past week.

Hi everyone!
Sorry, I was away for a couple weeks because I got married and then went on my honeymoon! Now I’m back and trying to get some surf in and get back to the real world.
There will be more posts to come very soon! Keep an eye out for some summer contests.

Liquid Lifestyles is a series of 10 episodes following the surfing action in the world’s most spectacular destinations. Champion surfers work the waves and give their ‘take’ on reading the surf along with in-depth stories from the local viewpoint. Learn about different cultures, cuisines and people in this energetic television series. Unlike most travel documentaries, this series is a surfer’s view of the world. Surfing is not just about the water and the adrenalin-rush of catching the big waves. It’s about knowledge, skill, cultural curiosity, and an affinity with nature. This surfing documentary series portrays the strengths of man and nature. It puts a human face on the sport, delving behind the images of magnificent wave riding – sharing the expert surfer’s knowledge of the craft, and the instincts and attitudes of the local surfing culture. It is also filmed in some of the most spectacular destinations on Earth.
The series is made to explain all one needs to know before setting off for their next exciting surf travel adventure. Think of this series as a television travel show based around surfing and not a television surf show based around travel. This in itself gives Liquid Lifestyles more marketability and value for money.
