Lower Trestles is known for a long, rippable right as well as a long, arduous walk from the upper parking lot. This year’s attendees of the Hurley Pro were able to focus purely on the waves as the SPYrate RV sailed back and forth between the parking lot and the competition area. Of course, we shared our booty with all that came along for the ride.
Aargh you sure you don’t want a free ride?
Stoked landlubbers enjoy the free ride and our booty of hats and coozies.
Jon Rose’s doppelganger becomes the filling of a sand-wench.
An RV filled with Brazilian women? SPY’s version of a ‘Bom Dia.’
Torrey Meister is a Big Island ripper with big heart for purebred Hawaiian pits—canine and ocean kine. He’s as home relaxing deep in the barrel as he is waging aerial assaults high above the lip, but pay attention ‘cuz he moves as fast as a rumor on the coconut wireless.

Alana Blanchard is the No. 6 sexiest female in 2011 according to this month’s Men’s Health magazine, proving the beauty of Hawaii is hard to ignore. The hottest female surfer in the world according to the recent Men’s Health online summer review will be looking for a win at the ASP 6-Star Cabreiroa Pantin Classic Pro women’s event on the Galician Coast, Sept. 15 to 18.
The SPY crew headed to Virginia Beach, Va., Aug. 22-28, for the 49th Annual East Coast Surfing Championships. Impending Hurricane Irene sped things along for all involved, forcing heats to run from sun-up through sundown.
While the SPY crew held it down in the sand, our surf team held it down in the water. Cody Thompson and 2011 NSSA/Surfing American National Champion Parker Coffin, 15, surfed their ways into the quarterfinals of the WQS 4-Star-rated event, with Evan Thompson making it into the semi-finals of the Pro Junior!
SPY once again proved to be the crowd pleaser with giveaways and a shooting gallery that attracted thousands of spectators scrambling to get their hands on some SPY booty.
In spite of a looming storm threat, our posse decided to hold-off evacuation plans and, instead, partnered with a local watering hole, The Boxx, on a pre-hurricane, over-21 shindig.
Cody, aka DJ Code Red, kept the party moving and the shoes shuffling with a body-rocking DJ set that thumped well into the early morning hours.
Last call at the Boxx heralded a shift of venues, kicking-off an after-hours soiree where the only rules were no cameras, no stories and no hard feelings.
With the final days of the competition canceled due to the hurricane, SPY took the high road (which paralleled the prescribed evacuation route) with heads held high and stomachs turning from the previous night that officially didn’t happen.
There’s no doubt that the SPY crew helped out ol’ Irene by doing a little damage of its own…
