The chasm between professional surfing's haves and the have-nots grows wider each time the NASDAQ takes a nosedive, so what will become of surfers like Kauai's Reef McIntosh?

HIM OR ME
Sean Doherty delivers and intimate account of Mick Fanning’s and Joel Parkinson’s race for the 2009 World Title. From their classic semifinal heat at Kirra to Mick’s ultimate triumph at Pipeline, the story of two best friends competing for surfing’s most coveted prize—complete with tears, joy, setbacks, triumph, and sportsmanship—was a caricature of sports drama that all but destroyed a lifelong friendship.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS
In the perfect pointbreaks of Southern Mexico, five of the world’s best female surfers prove why the next generation may be changing the sport forever. Smart, funny, attractive, and talented, they are embracing their femininity and forging a new path that’s not simply second-rate copy of a man’s sport, but something else entirely.
