I have to admit, sometimes it is hard to fly 14 hours  after a competition then get on another plane and participate in photo shoots. Thank god for business class and upgrades. But the cool part is what comes out of the photo shoots and interviews. Recently a writer from the New York Times came down to Peru to interview me and the check out the
surf scene here in Punta Hermosa and Moncora. I was so stoked on the article and to see Peru and our surf culture represented in such a positive way. As a Peruvian I am proud of my country and even more proud of all the surfers and people coming from around the world to surf the amazing waves of Peru. So thanks NYT!

Also, Tu Ciudad Magazine recently featured me on the cover the May Issue. It was cool to be featured with other Latin athletes who are pursuing their dreams in sports.  Though it could not have been any colder the day we shot, the crew at Tu Ciudad was fun and cool to work with. More exposure for the sport I love. Now go surf!"

Red Bull created a contest for 25 girls between the ages of 10 and 16 to come out to the beach and paint a blank surfboard shaped canvas, with the hopes of me choosing their design.  I was overwhelmed by the preparation many of the girls did before they arrived, they had their designs planned out on paper and they were working so hard.  It was difficult to pick a winning design because they were all so good and creative.

I was really stoked to start the year off good there. The win at Snapper was just a great way to start the year. And then to get second at Bells, it takes a lot of pressure off. It's a long year and there's a lot that can happen. All of the girls are surfing really good, but I think all the training I did in the off season is pay off. My boards feel good, and I feel good. Gotta run for now, but see you in Brazil for the next event. http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/sofia_mulanovich/2008/04/on-to-brazil.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/sofia_mulanovich/2008/04/on-to-brazil.php Tue, 01 Apr 2008 18:27:06 -0600 I’ve been on Maui for the last 10 days and it has been going mental. The winter finally made the turn and the waves have been sick every day. I haven’t been able to stay awake past 9:30 for days. It feels good to finally be beat from surfing. Also, I've got my annual Menehune Mayhem contest coming up for the groms, so we've got that to look forward to. It's always a good time and the kids are stoked. More later. ]]> http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/ian_walsh/2008/02/maui-and-the-menehunes.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/ian_walsh/2008/02/maui-and-the-menehunes.php Hawaii Ian Walsh Maui Fri, 22 Feb 2008 17:41:10 -0600 http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/jamie_sterling/2008/02/hawaiis-finally-turned-on.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/jamie_sterling/2008/02/hawaiis-finally-turned-on.php Hawaii Jamie O'Brien Jamie Sterling North Shore Pipeline Sun, 17 Feb 2008 21:02:34 -0600 Looks like the Pacific is going to wake up and come play with us in Hawaii on Thursday and a few more sizable swells lining up after that. I've been training with Russian kettle bells, running the beach, and stand-up surfing. I'll be going over to Sydney, Australia, on Feb 11 for the ASL Oakley Big Wave Awards. I'm a finalist in the contest. My wave is from Cow Bomby on Sept 1 is in the running. Mark Visser towed me into. Should be a fun night.  ]]> http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/jamie_sterling/2008/02/hawai-looks-like-its-coming-to.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/jamie_sterling/2008/02/hawai-looks-like-its-coming-to.php Australia Big Wave Hawaii Jamie Sterling North Shore Tow-in Wed, 06 Feb 2008 08:49:00 -0600 Is it ever going to get good in Hawaii? What happened? What did we do wrong? Two feet in 72 hours, are you kidding me? Well, at least it's flat. http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/ian_walsh/2008/02/still-raining.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/ian_walsh/2008/02/still-raining.php Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:32:18 -0600 I've just been cruising at home, surfing Pipe and Backdoor lately. I was pretty stoked to win the Backdoor Shoot-Out. The waves were good and all the boys were going off, a lot different than the Pipe Master's this year. When it's flat I've been doing a lot of diving lately, it's been fun. I've found some pretty good shells down there. It's been a tough winter, but it's definitely getting better. It's all about late season. http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/jamie_obrien/2008/02/winter-at-home.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/jamie_obrien/2008/02/winter-at-home.php Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:13:47 -0600 http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/bruce_irons/2008/02/at-home.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/bruce_irons/2008/02/at-home.php Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:10:21 -0600 I'll be honest mate, I am busier than a blue assed fly on a shit pile. I don't even have time to scratch my bum. The wedding's coming quick, the season comes right after that. But I'm not complaining, it's been a great off season. http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/mick_fanning/2008/02/busier-than-a-blue-assed-fly.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/mick_fanning/2008/02/busier-than-a-blue-assed-fly.php Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:07:20 -0600 It's been an impressive winter so far...just not in Hawaii. Well, no, I take that back, the last few weeks have been good. It was weird though, every big swell that came seemed to hit California. I've done a lot more cold water surfing lately, that's for sure. But we'll get some days, maybe late season, but something will show up...and I'll let you know when it does. http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/jamie_sterling/2008/02/hawaii-blues.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/jamie_sterling/2008/02/hawaii-blues.php Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:03:40 -0600 http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/kolohe_andino/2008/02/my-new-surfboard.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/kolohe_andino/2008/02/my-new-surfboard.php Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:59:24 -0600 Just got back from Bali after shooting with Taylor Steele, I'll probably be going back in a little bit. Other than that I've just been doing the junior events down here in Oz. The Quik Pro's coming up on the Gold Coast and I'm heading to that, but I think I've got Mick in my first heat. http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/julian_wilson/2008/02/checking-in-from-australia.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/julian_wilson/2008/02/checking-in-from-australia.php Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:56:02 -0600 http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/andy_irons/2008/02/bring-on-2008.php http://www.redbullsurfing.com/riders/andy_irons/2008/02/bring-on-2008.php Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:52:11 -0600
