Last month an event went down that made our jaws drop: the 2012 Volcom Fji Pro. Yes, the world’s best surfers competed in the world’s best lefts, but a massive swell on Friday, June 8, lured the big-wave community to Cloudbreak where they put on a free-surfing show that by all accounts overshadowed the actual WT event. 20-foot barrels. Broken boards and skin. Air drops. Glory. Inspired, we at SURFING magazine gathered the best imagery from Stu Gibson, Andrew Christie and Derek Dunfee to create a 128-page flipbook filled with images and quotes from Kelly Slater, Kohl Christensen, John John Florence, Kala Alexander, Reef McIntosh, Ian Walsh, Mark Healey, Dave Wassel, Ramon Navarro and so, so many more. Block out ten minutes of your day and visit 2012 Volcom Fiji Pro Flipbook: Blue Friday to relive the fun and fear. Happy flipping.
