Between the Cali Rally, the launch of a new Web site, and now the US Open, the month of July has been a blur! I?m seriously at my wits end, but the end?that glorious Sunday afternoon when the final heat finishes?is near. Lots of work for us, and lots of cool shit for you to check out on our new site.
As far as the US Open is concerned, I promise there will be a favorable ratio between hot girls in bikinis to sick action shots of your favorite surfers, some killer videos from our bro Toby Ogden, lots of party pics, and more. Maybe we?ll even get the coveted ?Hot Pro Rinsing Off In Shower? for you ladies out there too?

Just doing his job: Rob Machado at the Transworld SURF Miss US Open Model Search booth.

Tips for the US Open:
Wear something on your feet?that stuff ain?t sand and who knows what?s below it.
Watch out for the OC fight club. If you see a crew of dudes wearing fight gear, don?t lip off when you?re all buzzed.
Bring water. While every single energy drink under the sun will be shoved into your grill by a girl in  skimpy bikini, drink water, it?s the best thing for you.
Don?t ask HB cops about the infamous OP Pro riot. They?re really sensitive about this one.
Bring shades. There will be a lot of talent there and some may have big ?roided up boyfriends. Mirrored lenses work best for this.
I know all of this because I?ve made every mistake in the US Open book. See you there Chief!

That?s it, go blog yourself.
