ARE GIANT SQUID CANNIBALS ?
This is a New Scientist story a few years old, but I've been reading up on Giant Squid. These are maybe 50 feet! There are also Giant Octopus. Now these live at great depths and so it is rare that one be captured. Sadly the Japanese captured a Giant Squid a few years ago and it died of it's injuries from being captured. STUDY IN THEIR OWN ECOZONE!

"ISOLATED" a new BIG WAVE SURFING DOCUMENTARY is coming soon!
A FERAL is a surfer who doesn't care for the contests and prizes as much as the thrill of adventure and challenging themselves to get the biggest waves yet. Now actor Ryan Phillippe is the executive producer of the documentary ISOLATED, which promises to be as much about the culture of surfing and the culture of the countries that the surfers travel to in order to surf; the poison fish, the local fisherman, getting lost in the jungle... can hardly wait!

GARBAGE DUMP AT SEA TWICE THE SIZE OF TEXAS
Jeff Powers of San Diego is reporting on the garbage dump at sea, an article you'll get to by clicking on the title above.
"Twice the size of Texas. For the first time, we're getting a look at the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the vortex of plastic waste that's 1,000 miles off the coast of California.
Call it the planet's dump; millions of pieces of plastic collecting in a place 1,000 miles northwest of California."

Rolling Stone reports on BILLABONG XXL BIG WAVE AWARDS and MAYA GABEIRA !
According to the August 6th, 2009 Rolling Stone Magazine, Brazilian female big wave surfer MAYA GABEIRA has suffered as many broken noses (6) as she has surfboards, but she continues to chase after the big waves with a Jet Ski and to be... almost... fearless. Says Carlos Burle "She would be dead by now if she was (fearless). She just knows how to deal with the stress and the adrenaline that she has to face daily. It definitely is not a friendly environment for a girl."
FOR A GIRL! Hey Buster Burle! MAYA GABEIRA is a WOMAN!
