Volcom Fiji Pro Surfing Competition Opens Today

June 2, 2013 By VoyageVixens 2 Comments

The Volcom Fiji Pro surfing competition last year was considered by many as one of the most memorable stops of the 2012 ASP World Tour, and today – June 2, 2013 – marks the beginning of the 13-day waiting period which falls directly in the middle of Fiji’s prime surf season.

Our travels to Fiji last week brought some hairy weather conditions and we saw in person the southern pacific seas stirring with swell.  It’s looking good that this year’s surf event will be an epic one!

There will be several newcomers to the Fiji stop this year including Volcom’s own Dusty Payne. A lengthy ankle injury held Dusty out of the competition last year so he’ll be making his first showing at the Volcom Fiji Pro.

Volcom has selected Mitch Coleborn as its 2013 Volcom Fiji Pro Wildcard for the second year in a row and the second wildcard will be awarded to the winner of the local trials held by the Fiji Surfing Association. Last year Mitch showed the world

his amazing surfing prowess with a stunning round one victory over eventual event champion Kelly Slater before losing to Joel Parkinson in a extremely close round 3 battle.

“I’m excited to get back to Fiji and compete as a wildcard at one of the best stops on tour. The waves are amazing and last year was one of the best trips of my life.” – Mitch Coleborn

If you’re not in Fiji to see the 2013 Volcom Fiji Pro surfing competition in person, they will be airing a 90-minute special Red Bull Signature Series show on NBC, Sunday, July 7, 2013 at 4:30EST/1:30PST – www.redbullsignatureseries.com.

UPDATE: Since we published this, due to offshore winds and small surf, the first day of Volcom Fiji Pro surf event was a lay day. Head here to see the heat line up at Fiji’s surf competition.

WHO ARE THE VIXENS?

Lanee Lee and Lindsay Taub of Voyage Vixens

Hi! We're Lanee and Lindsay. You may have gotten to this page because you're intrigued by the word "vixens" or maybe you found some of our porn online (#travelporn, that is!). Either way, we are fully aware we are not what you typically think of when you hear the word "vixen", i.e. boobalicious babe wearing skintight minidresses in 6-inch heels. In our book, you don't need DDs to be a VV. To us -- vixens are smart and sassy women (and men, why not?!) who take action, scared sh**less or not, to turn their dreams into realities. Now you know a little about us; we'd like to get to know you. Connect with us on twitter, instagram, google+, pinterest, youtube, Facebook, tumblr, and periscope! (yes, we're on them all...#sorrynotsorry)

Got a Story to Tell?

We want to hear it! We're now accepting guest blog posts. Send us your travel tale—be it hilarious, heartwarming or horrifying— to [email protected]. Promise, you'll hear from us in less than 48 hours.
