This week I introduce you to rising Australian surfer, Ellie Jean Coffey. I have been following her rise up the ranks the last year or so and she is fast making a big name for herself. Outside being a really talented surfer, she is also beautiful, being part of Billabong's Bikini campaigns, and looks like she has a fiery sense of humor! Her younger sister rips to, so keep an eye out for this future World Tour campaigner...
Levi Sherwood of New Zealand won the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour with
a thrilling victory in the final round of the 2012 season in Australia
over his hard-charging rival Thomas Pages of France. Australia's Josh
Sheehan salvaged an injury-shortened season with a series of brilliant
runs to take third place in the soggy conditions on Cockatoo Island in
Sydney Harbor. Pages has turned the sport of freestyle motocross on its
head with a breathtaking array of new tricks and finished second overall
in the World Tour standings after five competitions on four continents
with 2011 champion Dany Torres of Spain taking third.
The start of the week and that means another perfect specimen of the opposite sex. This week, meet the hottest personal trainer you will ever have, Australian model, Ellie Gonsalves. This bikini model decided it was time to share her secrets for keeping that amazing body in perfect shape and made her own online training videos. Train with her, or send the link to your girl...
Billabong hosted the 2012 City Squared Skate event in Melbourne, Australia. Shot on the new Red Camera with frame rates up to 700 Frames, you don't miss a moment of the action. Some really good skating and look out for Durban born skater, Tommy Fynn, coming in second and ripping!
32 Australian street-skateboarding specialists gathered in Melbourne to claim Stop #1 on the SbA (Skateboarding Australia) Pro/Am Invitational Tour -- Billabong's City Squared presented by Xperia Sony Smartphone.
The custom built obstacle was daunting to say the least. Riders had to negotiate a purpose-built 'gap to ledge' feature that could be attacked from several approaches, mixing creativity and burly raw street skateboarding. The build was inspired by Melbourne's urban street spots - combining two hubba's either side of the gap to bank with a box in the middle which resembled a sub electrical box at 1.8 meters high.

Matt Wilko keeps the vids coming on his blog - Out 2 Brunch - and for his latest upload decided to use our very own, Die Antwoord. While I cannot say I am a fan of the music coming out of the band right now, in fact it hurts my ears, no one can deny that the SA music outfit are making waves, haha. What I do enjoy though, is Wilko's surfing. He surfs like a Jack Russel on speed and amphetamines! Don't believe me? Just watch the video...
Holy Crap. Thats all I can say about this video. Every time I watch it I get pins and needles up my arm, my balls pull into my body and I get the craziest smile on my face. The incredible song it plays to just accentuates the mind bend! Check it out...
