Surfing Magazine’s photographer Tom Carey disappeared this summer.  Most bosses fire an employee for an extended disappearance; Tom  returned with some great Chopes and still has job.  Check out the collection at Surfing Mag…

Looking for more Chopes, checkout Laird Hamilton’s Teahupoo, the ride that changed surfing history or more video and pictures of Teahupoo.  Garrett McNamara did a great grab of Sean Collins Article on The Mechanics of Teahupo’o.  Collins does a fantastic job describing and showing why Teahupo’o has the break it does.  Also, Billabong’s Code Red Full Movie – Surfing Goes Huge At Teahupoo Tahiti is awesome.
