The Surf Blog Spot

The Surf Blog Spot is up and running again.  Sorry, for the delay.  I was in the process of transferring hosting companies and domain name issues.

Everything is good to go and everything is operating correctly.  Everything is the same, but now there is a name hosting company.  Please keep reading and I thank you all for your support.  It has taken me about a week to make everything work correctly and now I am happy to say that The Surf Blog Spot is BACK!!!

I definitely learned a lot about the Internet, servers, FTP, databases, and making sure all my files were backed up (twice).  What a pain in the backside!

Go surf and don’t be a barney!

The next stop on the ASP World Tour will tip off at the Boost Mobile Pro presented by Hurley.  The defending Boost Mobile Pro champion and current ASP World Tour points leader, Kelly Slater, will look to defend his title and points lead.

The Dates:  September 7-13

The Location: Trestles, CA - USA

ASP World Tour Schedule

Another Irons brother won the 2008 Rip Curl Pro Search.  Bruce Irons pulled out a win on the 6th stop of the ASP World Tour against his Hawaiian mate, Fred Patachia.  Andy Irons won the 2006, 2007 Rip Curl Pro Search contests and now his little brother has a Rip Curl Pro Search WCT victory.  Bruce can feel complete this year since he will end his professional contest surfing after this year. 

With this win, Bruce moved into 10th place on the ASP World Tour rankings.  Kelly Slater still remains in first place with a very comfortable points lead.  Tiago Pires, Portugal, was in it to win and actually knocked out eight-time ASP World Champ and the current ratings points leader, Kelly Slater, in Round 3.  Tiago Pires would eventually surf his way into 3rd place in the Rip Curl Pro Search contest.
