Long gone. Long gone are the holidays, long gone the gifts. But we’ve got one more present to unwrap — a Nixon Limited Edition Hawaii Lodown tide watch, an instant sell-out that was available only (and briefly) in the 50th state.
Want it? Caption contest. Put on your clever cap and check this photo of Nixon team rider Dusty Payne, on the beach before his Round 3 Pipe Masters heat against Mick Fanning — you know, the one where Dusty went from combo land to win with a 9.87 literally as time expired. Dusty needed to win to requalify for the 2011 tour. Mick had to win to stay in the Triple Crown race. And we all know how that ended.
You know the game — best caption wins. Make us laugh, clap and cry.
We’re sending away Lodown No. 3 to the best caption we collect by week’s end (Friday, January 7). Here’s how you can share your razor wit:

Engraved band — SHOOTS!
Proceeds from the sale of the watch went to support the Defend Oahu Coalition — a passion project for Nixon team rider Mark Cunningham.
Special engraved caseback — U NO DAT!
Pony up, Wordsworth — this is so easy a surf mag editor could do it.

Not a CrookAfter being voted onto the illustrious Nixon surf team, Dusty Payne’s 2009 just keeps getting better — and [...]
Dusty’s new razor sharp fins slice through his foot like a
hot knife through butter and settle deeply into the sand. With his
foot now resting in two pieces he is left to ponder his chances of
re-qualification.
Ok, now I have only to go there kick the ass to the world
champion and I will be requalify for 2011…easy not? In italian
will be : “bene, devo solo andare là fuori spaccare il culo al
campione del mondo e sono riqualificato per il 2011″ it look
easier? No, you need an incredible performance to make that!!!
Complimenti Dusty!!! Ben fatto! (Well done!)
Dear Lord, please don’t make me get a job at
Foodland….
Milk was a bad choice
Gee I wish I’d taken that shit before the biggest heat of
my life, my guts are killing me!
This is just a normal heat, there’s nobody watching, I
‘only’ need to beat Mick to re-qualify…. why does my stomach keep
cramping up?
Have I turned off the iron?!
wow i really need to tak a dump
“help me in this heat Andy, send me a wave… I gonna make you proud”
i knew i should have shit before i left the house.damnnnnn
Dusty Payne – Contemplating taking a side mount bomb drop out at 2nd reef. Apparently KaiBorg broke the Toilet right before Dusty’s heat.
Against all odds
This would be easier if I remove that damn lower rib
“I hope they don’t use this photo for another Nixon free watch give away.” As DP visualizes his totally necessary win over Mick. ” F it. Shootz brah”
Defeat does not exist in the Volcom dojo, does it?
No, Sensei! Pull in, carve hard, no mercy, sir!
“I just took the best poop of my life and i feel great! Booyah!”
Dear Lord…I pray that no one is watching me take a dump right…oh yeah, and help me surf well too. That would be great…
Dear Eight Pound, Six Ounce, Newborn Baby Jesus, in your golden, fleece diapers, with your curled-up, fat, balled-up little fists pawin’ at the air…
Time to kick some ass and take no prisoners! Andy would and so will I…
Just you and me buddy, we can do this!
What do ya mean I have to sit in time-out?! Those are MY waves!!
Damn you road side shrimp!!!
“Why is everybody looking at me?”
No Mom, I am not getting into the water! It’s too cold !
Not you or anyone else is going to make me get in the water
!!!
And let the shredding begin…
“I eat, sleep and live for this. Wait for it, setup for the
air. This guy is old skool, it’s my turn.”
Heart of a lion.
Quietly reflecting on his childhood,… alas…. The Little
Engine That Could …. he quietly ponders these famous words “I
think I can, I think I can!?
You want me to carry this thing all the way down where?
I’ll wait for the waves to come to me!
I’m gonna charge like Andy!!!
How about, “That watch was gay then; that watch is gay now.
My ass hurts from all this gayness.”
You mean to tell me that I am about to re-qualify for the
Tour and nobody wants my autograph, WTF!
can’t surf…… crabpeople gonna get me.
Crap! You think it’s too late too go to the
bathroom!
I wonder what Alaina Blanchard is doing right now?
A resolute Dusty ponders, “No Payne, no gain.”
Uh maybe I should of taken Kelly’s advice and used a quad fin. hmmm maybe I should go unconventional vs Mick Fanning’s conventional tri fin set up. That would be a good way to beat white lightning and re qualify for the 2011 WCT. Do I have enough time to go get a quad backstage from Kelly?
So this is what Rick Kane felt like…
Please God, Don’t make me go back to the WQS.
MICKTORY?!? Not on my island…
F@%#, this is only round 3???
“Biggest surf contest in the world,
some of the heaviest waves in the world
against one of the best surfers in the world…..
and I am craving a chesse burger
is that weird ?”
Dusty Payne in pre-heat meditation – counting grains of sand
Maybe Jacked 3D and Monster was a bad idea?
“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.”
The calm before the storm!
I belong here and no one, especially Mick can take that away!
I wonder if these shorts make my ass look big?
Just beat Mick, just beat Mick, just beat…. oh God where did that turtle come from?
I should’ve shaved my head
