Sea Walk at the US Open

Posted on July 29, 2009 by aviso_nickh

Here are a few shots of Christian riding his trusty 10`0 Aviso in Huntington Beach over the weekend. Christian surfed a stacked heat on Saturday and ended up coming third to Joel Tudor and Herbie Fletcher. Hopefully next year the waves will be a little more lined up and Christian will really have a chance to show off his freakish noseriding skills. Anyway here are a few pics thanks to our friend Taro…

The waves were solid all weekend!

I think this one is called Blue Steel

Sea Walk in Japan

Posted on June 8, 2009 by aviso_nickh

Christian Wach is over in Japan right now hanging out with Naki, Donavon and the rest of the crew. They attended the Greenroom Festival last week, went to the premiere of Picaresque, hit up the NakiSurf Demo, and yesterday Christian took second place to Bonga Perkins in an ASP sanctioned event! What a trip so far!!

Now they are going to some remote Island off the coast of Japan to try and score some surf and put the 5`5 New Toy and the 5`1 Cole to the test! As soon as I hear more I will be back with the full update, but here are a few shots from Naki in the meantime…

Sea Walk came over today and was blown away by the new 5`1 Cole Aviso. Here is a quick shot of him getting cozy on the couch this afternoon…

So, you hang out here often??

Sea Walk back in California

Christian just got back from Norway and should be here for the next few weeks before he is off to Japan at the end of the month! We had a chance to hook up for a bit this afternoon and get some little waves down at the beachbreak. Christian was ripping on his 5`0 Cole Aviso BD3, and was making even the smallest wave look super fun! I am always amazed by his style and grace!!

I rode the 5`10 Cole Aviso Firefly and was blown away by how much speed I was able to get, even though the waves were hardly cooperating! I was not expecting much from the little two foot peaks but the board worked really well so I ended up having a lot of fun. Here are a few pics, check back tomorrow for more…

Sunshine or snow, all you need is your 5`0 AVISO!

Go CWach!

Sunday, 22 March 2009

Christian Wach (USA/Cal/San Clemente) was untouchable in the Golden Breed Pro Noserider division at the Global Surf Industries Noosa Festival of Surfing today.
Not even three locals pitted against Wach in the final could contend with the freakish nose riding abilities of Wach who, across his two highest scoring rides, scored 127, equivalent to just over 2 minutes on the nose while second placed Trent Dickie (Noosa) scored a very respectable 84 with Ezra Norris on 79 and Harrison Roach on 70 (both Noosa).
“That was the best heat I have ever surfed in my life” said Wach who has now won this event three years in succession.
“The waves are absolutely faultless and so perfect for Noseriding it’s unbelievable.”
Wach is a Noseriding specialist, probably the world’s best in a discipline that at this stage has no structured ratings.
Wach’s win made it a double for USA surfers in the Pro divisions at this year’s festival following on from Taylor Jensen’s win yesterday.
All finals enjoyed the flawless waves at Noosa’s first point today and there were numerous high scoring win across the array of divisions.
The closing two events to this years festival were the Dupe Women’s Open Amateur which was won by Caloundra surfer Monique Keane (16.05) defeating fellow Sunshine Coaster Sharon Jackson (Alex Head) while the Men’s Classic Malibu Open amateur went to Caloundra’s Justin Healy who posted the days highest tally of 19 points out of a possible 20 to defeat Ben Harworth (UK) on 17.65.
Noosa delivered unbelievable surf again this year and all who participated will be back next year for one of surfing’s classic events.
All final results along with photo gallery and news can be found on the official event website which can be located at http://live.coastalwatch.com/08_heat_draw.aspx?eid=15452&qryL=english

In-N-Out

Posted on February 6, 2009 by aviso_nickh

That was the theme of the day… In-N-Out! The waves were horrible down in San Clemente today so CWach and I made the call to rush it North and we ended up scoring at Rincon! After braving LA in the rain and our first (of two) missions to In-N-Out, we came through Ventura to find the wind howling offshore! After checking little Rincon we headed down to the Queen of the Coast and it was offshore, about 4ft, and only ten or so guys out! Christian and I could not get our suits on fast enough!! We ended up surfing for about three hours until the sun went down and hit the road back down south. That was our day, we scored In-N-Out, got some in-n-outs, then did it all again! Hopefully the winds will be kind to us tomorrow, because there definitely should be some swell for the next few days..
