CONVERSATIONS WITH: BRETT BARLEY

Brett Barley was all smiles after scoring the best Pipe wave he's ever ridden, so we thought it'd be an opportune time to sit the North Carolina native down and pick his coffee-fueled brain. We found out about his favorite shaper, his influences and more about his special Pipe ride but more importantly that Brett's affinity for fishing might outweigh his love for surfing. For the full interview, enjoy our latest installment of "Conversations With"

CHRISTENSON CHALLENGE

Lineups on the North Shore are usually overflowing with high performance thrusters, so we asked iconic shaper Chris Christenson to create two twin fin fishes to mix things up for the team. We had #TeamONeill riders Noah Wegrich, Timmy Reyes, Ian Crane and Soli Bailey take each gorgeous board for a spin while Chris picked who rode the fish with the best speed, flow and style. We'll be rolling out each rider's edit every day this week. Chris's favorite winner will get to take the board home with them. Follow along through the next week to see how you can win one of these Christenson Surfboards yourself.

CHRIS CHRISTENSON CHALLENGE: TIMMY REYES

Timmy Reyes was the first to get his hands on one of the twin-fin fishes for the Chris Christenson Challenge. Although the board was a bit larger than Timmy is used to, the combination of playful North Shore surf and a good amount of volume allowed him to draw some slick lines and pull some cheater fives. Watch the entire entry and let us know how you think Timmy did. Check back tomorrow for Ian Crane's session.

CHRIS CHRISTENSON CHALLENGE: IAN CRANE

Let us know how you think Ian went on the twinny in the comments below. Check back tomorrow to see how Soli Bailey fared in the Chris Christenson Challenge.
