1: DEEP IN BRIAN'S BARRELS February, 2006 Last month Brian Conley headed down to Mexico chasing some of those perfect swells that hit our shores.

2: THE MEXICAN PIPELINE ROARS June 19, 2006 On Monday, June 19th, a day prior to the kick off of the Rip Curl Pro Search WCT "Somewhere in Mexico", a massive swell rocked Puerto Escondido. Beach side cafes were wiped out and water flooded the streets of Playa Zicatela. Two teams of tow-in surfers (Scott Chandler, Chuck Patterson, Carlos 'Coco' Nogales, Ken 'Skindog' Collins, Chad Jackson) went out at first light in what many are calling the biggest Mexican Pipeline in years. Veteran director Dave Ogle (Puerto Underground 4) was kind enough to share his 'secret' filming spots so that David Palmer could capture this epic day on film.

6: BIG TUESDAY IN SYDNEY March 28th, 2006 Tamarama, just south of Bondi Beach in Sydney's fancy Eastern Suburbs, sees more bodyboarders and old Italian men in Speedos than giant surf; but on Australia's first big cyclone swell of the year, March 28th, the outer reefs roared to life. Former pro Rod Kerr and local Aaron Graham went for the tow-in as huge crowds lined the beach. Video & Editing: Jolyon Hoff, www.brownpaperfilms.com WATCH THE VIDEO
