Stop five of the 2006 Planet Reef tour literally stormed it's way through Northern New Jersey as the tropical storm that was heading our way actually landed on top of us. That didn't stop a thing as the bus made it's way to Spellbinders Surf Shop in Allenhurst where even the local police are huge fans. 
The 2006 Planet Reef Tour has been a blast. Last night we had dinner in Atlantic City with a bunch of local retailers and then followed up with a bit of a pub crawl where Ben Bourgeois made a total ass of himself... 
(Sing along…) On the road again. After a long night's drive through the Chesapeake Bay tunnel and Maryland, the 2006 Planet Reef Tour found it's way to Atlantic City and the third stop of the tour in Southern New Jersey. 
The second stop of the 2006 Planet Reef Tour sped north late Sunday evening and crash-landed in Virginia Beach, Virginia-the East Coast capital of fun times. 
It was another huge day for the underdog today at the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay with round two getting underway today in clean one metre (three foot) waves at the famed break known as "Supertubes". Check the photos here! 
The bus is packed, and everyone's fired up for the 2006 run of the Planet Reef tour sponsored by Reef, Dragon, Fuel TV, Surfing Magazine and Surf Aid International. Stop one landed the crew in Ben Bourgeois' hometown of Wrightsville, North Carolina where the Atlantic spat out waves in the 2-3ft range and the weather was sweltering hot without a trace of wind. 
SURFING Magazine takes a closer look at the 2006 NSSA Open Finalists. 
A testament to the fact that the Mediterranean has surf. Rob Gilley takes us on a Greek Surf Odyssey with Joe Curren, Mike Todd, and Ben Bourgeois. 
The final day at Nationals is not all toilet tricks, it's downright nerve racking. All the buildup from the whole year boils down to this: 6 kids, sitting out the back at the world's wettest skate park with just under 30-minutes to change the surfing world. At Lowers? 2-5 foot and glassy all day. Just about everywhere else on the coast? Flat. Roll up to Lowers at 5 in the morning and you're already too late. Carissa Moore and Dane Zaun are on it, laughing and splitting peaks still hours to go before the sun rises above the San Mateo Mountains and the first heat bell whines.
