Big waves, but poor conditions forced a lay day today for the Quiksilver Pro in Puerto Escondido, Mexico.
After calling a lay-day yesterday due to small conditions, a highly anticipated swell arrived today with massive 10′+ sets. Unfortunately, poor wave quality forced a second consecutive lay day at the infamous’ Mexican Pipeline’.
The swell is forecast to increase tomorrow and organizers are hoping conditions will improve as well. With the event’s 10 day waiting period, organizers have the leeway hold the ASP 4-Star event in optimal Puerto Escondido conditions.
Southern California surfers are having been watching all the recent activity ‘down under’ and are awiting the arrival of a fairly significant south swell in about 4-5 days.
As you can see in the above wave measurement graphic there’s been quite a bit of wave making activity in the Southern Hemisphere during the last few days and surfers are waxing up their surfboards in anticipation of the swell which is expected to reach 1-2′ overhead around Monday or Tuesday.
Researchers were recently happy to announce that an experimental drug called ipilimumab, (ip-ee-LIM-uh-mab), has shown to significantly improve survival rates in people with advanced melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer.
The drug works by helping the immune system fight tumors. The FDA has pledged a quick review, and doctors are hopeful that the drug could be available by the end of 2010.
“We have not had any therapy that has prolonged survival” until now, said Dr. Lynn Schuchter of the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania, a skin cancer specialist with no role in the study or ties to the drug’s maker.
Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer. Last year in the US, there were about 68,000 new cases and 8,650 deaths from the disease. Worldwide, more than 50,000 people die of melanoma each year.
“The incidence is rising faster than any other cancer,” said one of the study’s leaders, Dr. Stephen Hodi of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. “When it spreads to vital organs, it’s almost always fatal.”
Unfortunately many people don’t think of skin cancer as a ‘killer’ and fail to protect themselves as well as they should. That’s why we’re committed to selling the highest SPF 150 rash guards and UV protective swim shirts available.

The Addicted To Plastic series is an amzingly informative documentary that took three years of filming in 12 countries including two trips to the middle of the Pacific Ocean where plastic debris accumulates in what’s called the ‘Garbage Patch’ and the ‘North Pacific Gyre’. The film details plastic’s path over the last 100 years and provides a wealth of expert interviews on practical and cutting edge solutions to recycling, toxicity and biodegradability. These solutions -- which include plastic made from plants -- will provide viewers with a new perspective about our future with plastic.
As you know, we here at Buy Rash Guards care about our environment and one of the biggest ways we try to make a difference is by looking for ways to cut down on our use of plastic. One of the many reasons we cite for using our rash guard shirts is that they help you cut down on the amount of sunscreen you need to use which means less chemicals and less plastic unleashed on our environment and into our waters.
Plastic is all around you -- just go through a day and count everything you touch or use that is plastic and you will be SHOCKED! Even more shocking is that no organism can break down plastic -- so every bit of plastic that has ever been made is still around in some form… getting broken down into smaller and smaller pieces, (but never disappearing), now entering our food chain and our bodies.
We’ve come across a terrific series titled: Addicted To Plastic. It’s a 9 part series that we’re going to post weekly here on our blog so you can easily find it and follow the series.
Here is Part 1…
We’d love to hear any comments or feedback you have about the series -- so please post!!

We here at Buy Rash Guards are already hugs fans of SurfShot mag so imagine how stoked we were to learn that the publishers have decided to take the magazine digital. “Every year, over 35 million trees are cut down to produce magazines in the U.S.,” says Surfshot’s John Cocozza. “By taking the magazine digital, we are able to step out of that cycle, eliminating our reliance on paper and reducing our carbon footprint in terms of printing and shipping.”
