KINGSCLIFF / Australia (Sunday, March 27, 2011) – American surfers Taylor Jensen (Oceanside), 27, and Jennifer Smith (San Diego) , 25, upstaged their Australian counterparts to win the respective ASP Australasia Longboard Qualifying Series (LQS) Cancer Institute NSW men’s and women’s divisions…

Full recap from ASP World Tour

After the Snapper event, everyone was blown away by the performances put on by Firewire team riders Taj Burrow and Michel Bourez. Heading into Bells, both surfers sit in the top 10 and are poised to have an impact on the title race as the year unfolds. This means I am counting down the days, like a kid before Christmas, until the next event kicks off. Legend Nick Carroll had some big things to say about their performances as well in Surfline’s Power Rankings which prompted a reader to leave an epic comment that warrants a high five if I ever meet its author (see below). Oh yeah, there is some good video of Taj going off as well. Insane!

Can’t wait until the boys hit the water in Victoria for the Rip Curl Pro, but in the meantime, we’re stoked to see that people are taking notice of the boards and their riders. If you own one, get out and have a session. If not, find a demo center and try one.

So the Bells contest is right around the corner and we at Firewire want to stoke someone out. So, this is the deal. Anytime between now and 5pm (QLD) on the 28th of April, all you have to do is to buy a Firewire at any Australia based Firewire dealer. Then, complete your registration form and submit your proof of purchase along with a RIDICULOUSLY CREATIVE and potentially FUNNY question for Taj and/or Michel to [email protected]

Once all the submissions are in, we here at Firewire will have a sit down to choose the top 10 most clever and entertaining questions. The finalists will be pooled together and our man NEV will interview the boys during the contest using the top 10. After the interview, Taj and Michel will choose their favorite single question and that person will win a Custom Firewire Surfboard to be designed by the winner using our Custom Board Design (CBD) program.
