    • Hangzhou, China, The Qiantang River Tidal Bore Story - September 2008

      Mike Gerard, and his company Gerard Sports Marketing (GSM), have teamed up with Chinese partner, Wabsono International--and the Chinese government--to bring the sport of surfing to the Chinese people.

      Everyday--twice a day--in the City of Hangzhou (pronounced "han-joe"), a tidal bore wave rolls upstream on the Qiantang (pronounced "kwin-tang") River. And each year, in September, the wave is at its largest.

      To witness this awesome sight, hundreds of thousands of Chinese people come to the annual Wave Watching Festival in Hangzhou. And this year, they're here to see surfing for the very first time.

      For this trip, Mike Gerard brought the Long brothers, and Mark Healey.

      The purpose of this trip was to demonstrate to the Chinese government that surfing on the river was feasible... and that the idea of broadening the annual festival to include surfing is a good one.

      This year's surfing event was a huge success. In fact, the day of the festival, it was a top story on the Chinese national news channel (CCTV)--and was viewed by approximately 1/2 the entire Chinese population!

      GSM and Wabsono have signed a five year exclusive rights deal with the City of Hangzhou to develop the surfing festival concept. The plan is to include industry brands and promote the sport on a large scale to the Chinese people. Stay tuned for updates!

      Malia Manuel, a 14-year-old from Wailua, Kaua'i, Hawaii became the youngest rider in history to win the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington, Beach, Calif., Saturday.

      Manuel defeated Coco Ho, 17, in the women's final 14.34 to 7.90.

      "I'm so stoked right now," Manuel said in a story at the Association of Surfing Professionals Web site. "My sponsors gave me the wildcard into this event and I was just happy to be here. To get to surf against some of my heroes and to be in the final with my friend Coco is just something I would have never dreamed of."

    • Bertha becomes 1st hurricane of 2008

      MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Bertha became the first hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season early Monday, according to the National Hurricane Center.


      A satellite picture from 5:45 a.m. ET Monday shows Hurricane Bertha over the Atlantic.

      As of 5 a.m. ET, Bertha was 845 miles (1365 km) east of the northern Leeward Islands and was moving toward the west-northwest near 17 mph.

      It was packing winds of 75 mph -- the minimum for hurricane status.

      Additional strengthening is expected during the next couple of days, according to forecasters.

      The hurricane center said it is still too early to determine whether Bertha will eventually affect any land areas.

      The five-day forecast map shows Bertha passing near Bermuda, but hurricanes are unpredictable and their routes often change during a forecast period. See Bertha's predicted path »

    • Sharks, Surfers & Surf Photographers

      The debate is all about how surfers, and in particular, surf photographers feel about sharks... After all, they do work and play in their domain! Sightings and even encounters are not unheard of, as many surf photographers can testify to! Thought it would be an interesting topic with all the hype there is in the news recently about shark attacks... So I asked a few surf photographers (and surfers/artists) how they felt about swimming/surfing in the sea, knowing it is possible to encounter a shark, and if it preys on their mind? If they fear them? If they've had a close encounter, witnessed one, had a scare (real or paranoia)...? The debate is all about how surfers, and in particular, surf photographers feel about sharks... After all, they do work and play in th... more

    • NOTTE ROSA

      LA NOTTE ROSA 5 LUGLIO 2008
      http://www.lanotterosa.it/
      La Notte Rosa, il Capodanno dell'estate italiana
      110 chilometri di costa in festa

      La Notte Rosa è la grande festa dell'estate italiana, il capodanno dell'estate in Riviera. Una notte unica, indimenticabile, una notte per tutti, giovani e meno giovani.

      Dal tramonto all'alba i 110 chilometri della Riviera Adriatica dell'Emilia Romagna sono un'esplosione di luci, suoni, immagini, colori.
      È una festa che ha come scenario tutto il territorio: la spiaggia, i viali dello shopping, le piazze, i locali, i ristoranti. Il programma comprende concerti musicali, performance teatrali, illuminazioni a tema, feste sulla spiaggia, scenografie e arredi urbani nel segno del rosa, fuochi d'artificio.

      Con la Notte Rosa la Riviera esprime i suoi tratti più autentici: la cultura dell'ospitalità, il divertimento per tutti, il grande palcoscenico dove tutto può succedere e dove tutti sono protagonisti.

      Perché una Notte "rosa"? La Notte Rosa indica che la Riviera è il luogo dell'accoglienza, dell'ospitalità, della gentilezza, delle relazioni sociali, degli incontri tra persone, dei sentimenti; la Notte Rosa è dunque anche la notte dell'amore e nell'amore ci si riconosce tutti.

      Tutto il sistema dell'accoglienza e dell'ospitalità, dai bagnini agli albergatori, dai ristoratori ai gestori di locali notturni, si mette in rete e si coordina per offrire una notte indimenticabile e un'immagine autentica della Riviera. E di questa immagine fa parte il fatto che la notte e il divertimento non urtano e non sono in alternativa al turismo delle famiglie, sulla Riviera giorno e notte si sposano.

      La Notte Rosa è un evento unico, irripetibile: nessuno in Italia è in grado di replicarlo, da nessuna parte ci sono 100 chilometri di costa che agiscono insieme.

      Si ringrazia:
