Mitch Coleborn with a trusty A2 Semi Gun underarm

Stay tuned for some heaving barrels as the Volcom Pipeline Pro is about to erupt!

This contest is sure to be exciting as the contest directors have let 4 out of the 14 day waiting period pass while the waves have ben firing (as far as a regular contest is concerned).

Keep a look out for Mitch Coleborn, Charly Martin, Hank Gaskell & Andy Irons who, depending on wave size, may have Chilli's under their feet.

Here's a few shots of Coleborn warming up...

POSTCARD FROM HANK

Posted on: Friday, March 13, 2009

Hank got spanked at Pipe.	Our boy Hanky Gaskell has been on the North Shore test driving Chilli's latest designs, qualifying for the Pipe Masters and also trying to breakdance on the reef at Pipe. We thought we'd share his latest email with you… "Yo Chilli/Taylor, How have you been? All good here. There's been some epic surf this past week on the North Shore. I surfed in the Pipe Masters trials the other day, and made the cut for the comp in December. Pretty stoked on that! I got bounced off the bottom pretty bad in my second last heat though. I almost couldn't even surf in the last round. Luckily for me, Walshy and Healy rousted me pretty good, and Ian told me 'You can walk, you're paddling back out!'. It paid off, and I am healing up on the couch now... Boards are working great! I’ll order some new ones soon. Shoots, hope all is well. – Hank"

HANK LANDS PAGE ONE OF SURFER

Hank Gaskell is a remarkable human from Hawaii. When he was in Australia he helped Chilli fix his fence. As thanks Chilli shaped him some boards. To return the favour Hank did a huge air and nabbed himself the cover of SURFER Magazine riding one of Chilli’s shapes. Come back anytime, Hank.
