Body Glove Hand in Hand for Japan Tsunami Relief

By Industry Spy

| posted on March 31, 2011

The March 11th earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan has turned out to be the worst in recent history. The hard-hit areas do not have enough food, water electricity or heat and now they have the fear and consequences of nuclear fallout. Body Glove has a long and proud history with Japan and its amazing people, and now is the time to give back. We are proud to offer the Hand in Hand Disaster Relief T-Shirt, that can be purchased online at the Body Glove Online Store. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the Hand In Hand T-Shirt will be donated to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. We love, we love, we love Japan. Please help support them in this time of need.

Stop Me if You’ve Heard This One Before

They say if you walk in like you own the place, then you’re halfway to where you’re going. Well, Kelly announced his arrival at Cloudbreak this morning by burning some hot laps on his jet ski through the lineup, shooting follow-footage of local surfer Aca Lalabalavu who was heavily piped at the time. Kelly dismounts and paddles straight out for his quarter against Seabass, and that’s when things really start to burn. John John, still dripping wet, catches Kelly’s first perfect 10 and comments, “I don’t know, but from here it kinda looked like a 20.” John John didn’t know how prophetic he was being, because it’s only a matter of minutes later that Kelly draws another wall of Pacific toward him. It’s bigger, foamier and throatier than the first, and tail of his 5’10” quad is doing it’s best to skip out from under him. CJ offers, “Man, that thing was a bull ride!”…and it was another 10. That’s your perfect heat, right there folks, the fifth in pro surfing and Kelly’s second. History made before 10am. The signs for the rest of the day are there early. When Kelly comes in and starts talking about the significance of the feat, he adds the caveat that, “Man, the way the waves are out there today, someone could go real close to getting another one.” And when he says someone, well, you probably know who he means.

Opinion

The much-hyped swell event at Teahupoo has quickly become a real-time global spectacle. Whether or not that spectacle is worth celebrating, however, is something to consider.
