GET CHARGING - in true EDDIE AIKAU style
Thursday 18th November - Brú bar - McCurtain st - 7.30pm.
Following on the success of our Scratching the Surface movie premier, Tubes are well happy to do it all again - so in-conjunction with our friends in Incide & Quiksilver we are presenting the Irish Premier of Eddie Aikau 25th Annual competition - known as the Eddie it is an invite only competition where the worlds top big wave surfers go head to head to get the best charge on the biggest wave that he made Waimea famous for.
For those who attended the last event you know the drill, some cracking waves, kicking sounds after the flick, well decent spot prizes and a few hot dogs thrown in for good measure - what more can a surfer ask for?
Oh by the way - if you value your brain - stay away from consuming large quantities of White Gypsy - the horse from the logo spent all of friday stomping around my head - ahhhhh even the memory hurts!

Scratching the suurface Thursday Bru Bar
JULIAN WILSON CAN'T REMEMBER A TIME WHEN HE DIDN'T SURF.
It's no wonder. His mum, Nola, recalls his first sessions unfolding about the time he was taking his first steps. Those early rides were had at First Point on the front of a 9'1" driven by his Dad. By age three his mum was pushing him onto insiders at First Point while his dad, Mick, and two older brothers, Seb and Bart, surfed out the back. A few years later Julian was old enough to steer his own craft and he and Nola joined Mick, Seb and Bart in the line up. Once he was a strong enough swimmer and able to surf without assistance Julian progressed swiftly. Here's a quick rundown… At the age of nine he picked up his first sponsor. At 12 he won the Queensland titles. After winning the state titles he was asked to ride for Quiksilver. At 14 he collected the Australian Junior Longboard title. Throughout his teenage years he won numerous Pro Junior events in Australia and claimed the ISA World Junior Championship in 2006. In 2007 he invented his own maneuver called the Sushi Roll [a backside aerial that's part superman, part inverted 360]. That same year he accepted the "Best Male Performance" for his section in Young Guns III at the annual Surfer Poll Awards and beat Kelly Slater as a wildcard in the Quiksilver Pro on the Gold Coast. In 2008 Julian signed with Red Bull, was named the best junior surfer in Australia by ASL magazine and won $25,000 in the O'Neill Mission, an invitational event staged in France. With his junior career finishing up in 2008 Julian opted to take a break from full-time competition in 2009 to work on a surf film. The movie, titled Scratching the Surface, will be released toward the end of 2010.
