Volcom Fiji Pro 2013 | Schedule and Preview

By Andrew Sachs
The waiting period for the Volcom Fiji Pro, the WCT's 4th event of the season, begins June 2 and runs through June 14th.  The biggest story line from the first three events of the season is the performance of Adriano De Souza and Jordy Smith.  Both Adriano and Jordy have won one event apiece and have faced off against each other in the finals and semifinals of the last two competitions, with each surfer winning once.  Those two are currently first and second in the overall rankings, ahead of former champions Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning and Joel Parkinson.

Check it out on our website, the Carver surfboard bike rack.  The rack typically mounts to the seat post of your bike.  The two rack arms are angled inward to prevent your board from sliding forward or backward during your bike ride.  The rack arms are also covered in foam to make sure your board doesn't get dinged from bumps in your ride along the way.  And cords extend off the rack arms that go over your board and  clip to the rack for additional protection to keep your board safe and secure.

Wakeboarding | A Beginner’s Guide

The butterflies in your stomach, the excitement running through your veins—pure adrenaline takes over at the thought of getting on a wakeboard for the first time.  Recently, I was lucky enough to have my first wakeboarding experience…it was awesome.  I haven’t felt a rush of nerves, excitement and happiness since my “rebellion” riding on the back of my friend’s motorcycle.  However, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much if I hadn't received a few tips on the wakeboarding basics.

What you’ll need:

-Wakeboard

-Wakeboarding boots

-Life jacket
-Sun block

-(Ladies, I recommend wearing some kind of shorts over your bathing suit bottoms if you wear a bikini)

Golf Cart Wakeboard Rack and Storage Photos

You never know where our racks might pop up.  Here's a picture that was sent to us from one of our customers who mounted our wakeboard rack to his golf cart!  Lucky for him, he must live on a lake somewhere and can cruise down to his boat by golf cart...

3 Under the Radar Action Sports Movies

Maybe you have seen these sports movies, but I doubt it - they are worth hunting down to watch, or watch again. Nothing like some teenagers just trying to LIVE and not be held down by the man...and their parents.

1. Rad - This is your classic tale of a young and talented BMX biker extraordinaire, Cru Jones. When his small town hosts a pro bike race, (called Helltrack - amazing!), Cru is amped to try to make it with the big boys. Only trouble is Helltrack falls on the same day of SAT's and surprise, surprise, his mom wants him to go to college. Amazing cast - Aunt Becky from Full House is the leading lady...And did I mention there is a choreographed BMX bike dance scene set to "Send Me An Angel"? Something for everyone.

Jordy Smith Wins Billabong Rio Pro Final Over Adriano de Souza

By Andrew Sachs
Jordy Smith claimed the Billabong Rio Pro title after a tough finals matchup against local Brazilian favorite Adriano de Souza in 2-3 foot surf at Barra de Tijuca.  Jordy's win was payback against Adriano, who beat Jordy in the semifinals of the last competition at Bell's Beach by just .04 points.  The win is Jordy's first ever WCT win on foreign soil after wins at the J-Bay event in his home of South Africa in 2010 and 2011.
