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:

Proceeds from the sale of the watch went to support the Defend Oahu Coalition — a passion project for Nixon team rider Mark Cunningham.
Pony up, Wordsworth — this is so easy a surf mag editor could do it.









Mick was a bad choice.
No more flat Brazil, No more flat Brazil
“I’m F@#Ked”
“get a 9.87 and everything will be fine…”
Oh Man, eating Poke before my heat was a bad idea…
Oh father, who be hanging in heaven, hollow be this wave, thy king has come and kelly’s will was done, on earth he surfed liked heaven, give us today our daily shred, and forgive us for wanting to win, as we forgive those for who ripped before us, lead me not into tempting a rodeo flip, but deliver me from deep in the barrel, for thy is the kingdom the power and i hope all the glory…..AMEN
Ho bra, you my #1 magic stick bra, you take me through da barrel bra, get me on tour next year bra, Gonna take YOU to chopes next year cuz!!!!!! Lets get nuts!!!! Lets Rock!!!!!!!!!
It’s late in the season and the young predator finds himself in a difficult situation, a kill is needed if the predator hopes to survive the winter. Silently he sits, eyeing his prey, as he scans the horizon for the best possible approach, all the while trying to ignore the pit in the bottom of his stomach he’s starving and he has nothing to lose… the worst kind of predator there is.
The road to success, is not always a road !
Why the f*uck did he not get off the car before the paddle
out like everybody… The sand is all f*cked up now…And he didn´t
even give me a lift! F*ck Mick. Don´t wanna play
anymore…
“What is that thing?”
This is defiantly the best position to sit in to hide a
boner.
I definitely should have taken a dump this morning
getting in the zone
Huh!!!! This is pretty freakin cool…I get to do this for a living…Sweet!!!
Silent but violent!
Forget 50 cent, I’ve got the magic stick!
I hope I locked my truck ?
Silent but deadly….no Febreze necessary.
If I sit tight and focus really hard… will I be able to
be invisible like the car that just parked next to me?
Ummmphh….
Did I turn the stove off this morning?
“No Gain, No Payne, No Gain no Payne”…
Whatever. I didn’t want to surf anyways. Stupid Wolf Pack.
90 seconds of your life Dusty, that’s it. This is our tactic: we strike fear. Once you get them peeing down their leg, they submit. Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation, causes your worst fears to come true.
i should have stayed in school.
I don’t want a real job.
AI would scrap
This ones for you Andy….
julian is definitely gunna be the most attractive guy on tour next year.
I’ll head out as soon as this boner dies down.
Dusty channels his inner jedi
Dusty’s Cannonball into the North Pacific could not have
gone more wrong!
Keenan, you’re silent but totally original!
Just for fun, i’ll let Mick get WAY ahead and I’ll come charging back in the last couple.
Where is Tonya Harding? She said she’d be here to pull that
wack a mole deal on Mic’s leg…WTF.
Do I have time to shave my head? Maybe that´ll
work.
I swear to God if I move, Im gonna shit myself.
“Wonder if its firing at the bay right now?.. oh shit concentrate Dusty”
60 percent of the time, works every time.
you cant contain Dusty Payne
