GET ON THE BOAT
We won't know whether or not HT's and other Mentawais superspots were affected by the tsunami until next spring, but that shouldn't stop everyone from booking their boat trip asap. The locals need your cash now more than ever. This is the "Surf Happens" crew -- Aaron Ernst, Chris Keet, Chad LaBass, and Mike Billgreen -- scoring some late season perfection at Lance's Rights. This trip was delivered by Sumatran Surfariis, who have done an incredible amount of work in assisting the Tsunami victims.

NEWPORT ROCKS
Most of the year, Newport Point just kinda sits there, overshadowed by its more glamorous - and consistent - neighbors, like 56th St. and the Wedge. But when a short-interval hurricane swell with a touch of east in it comes barreling up the canyon, all of Newport Beach (hell, it seems like most of Southern California) heads to 17th St. looking for a bit of the old "in-out" -- and occasionally finding it.

RAIMANA'S DAY
March 22nd. Opening day at Teahupo'o this year was far from perfect -- weird winds, rain squalls, and raw, 15-foot swell, creating ultrathick, chunky 30-foot-plus faces. But these ski-assisted days, when the swell of the year hits the reef at the End of the Road, the boys are on it.

Watch local legends Vetea 'Poto' David and Manoa Drollet lean back into a couple thick ones, while Raimana Van Bostolaer gets one of the heaviest tubes of all time. Next, Brad Gerlach nabs yet another backside barrel. As an added bonus for the masochists, Dave Kalama cartwheels down the face into oblivion in one of the worst wipeouts ever captured on film. Ouch. Click here for more photos and a full explanation of the day by Mike Parsons, right here for an in depth look at the swell that rocked the entire Pacific Ocean, and if you're nuts enough to want to see that stuff in person, click here for Surfline's Teahupo'o Resort Guide.
