"\"&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#8217;ve been powering out Cote&amp;#8217;s Cube interviews the last couple days down here in Australia while we wait for a predicted swell that will restart the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro Gold Coast events. Check out interviews with 2007 World Champ Mick Fanning, 2X Women&amp;#8217;s Champion Stephanie Gilmore, Ace Buchan, ASP Junior World Champion Kai Barger, ripping women&amp;#8217;s tour rookies Coco Ho and Alana Blanchard, power broker Bede Durbidge, and a big photo gallery (below the interviews) of all the visitors to the &lt;strong&gt;New Era Athlete Lounge&lt;\\/strong&gt;.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;iframe src=\\\"\\/\\/video.grindnetworks.com\\/embed\\/brightcove\\/14655193001\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"360\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;\\/iframe&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mick Fanning&lt;\\/strong&gt; dropped by today for a quick Cote&amp;#8217;s Cube interview and shed some light on the sand situation at Kirra. Being born and raised in the draining, sand-filled barrels, he sorely misses the consistency and quality of the legendary break as it hasn&amp;#8217;t been the same since the powers that be began pumping sand out of the Tweed River and depositing it down Kirra way. However, I just read in the local paper that the government has decided to allocate $1.5 million AUS to remove sand from Kirra in hopes in will return to it&amp;#8217;s former glory. According to Fanning, though, that won&amp;#8217;t be enough. &amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;ve got to lengthen the groin (or jetty as we call it in the States) for Kirra to return,&amp;#8221; he said as he gazed toward Kirra from the 5th floor of our pad. &amp;#8220;The groin creates a whirlpool that funnels the sand down the beach so it doesn&amp;#8217;t collect right there.&amp;#8221; So what are you waiting for Mr. Politician? When the 2007 World Champ says &amp;#8220;jump&amp;#8221;, you should say &amp;#8220;how high&amp;#8221; and &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.kirrapoint.org\\/kirra\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;Bring Back Kirra&lt;\\/a&gt;!&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;iframe src=\\\"\\/\\/video.grindnetworks.com\\/embed\\/brightcove\\/14564122001\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"360\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;\\/iframe&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;2009 ASP Women&amp;#8217;s Tour Rookies &lt;strong&gt;Coco Ho&lt;\\/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Alana Blanchard&lt;\\/strong&gt; drop by the TransWorld SURF\\/New Era lounge for a quick episode of the infamous Cote&amp;#8217;s Cube. With the addition of these two and some the other ripping rookies, there&amp;#8217;s more energy and excitement than ever for women&amp;#8217;s surfing!&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;iframe src=\\\"\\/\\/video.grindnetworks.com\\/embed\\/brightcove\\/14583408001\\\" width=\\\"640\\\" height=\\\"360\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;\\/iframe&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Timmy Reyes&lt;\\/strong&gt; dropped into the &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.neweracap.com\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;New Era&lt;\\/a&gt;\\/TransWorld SURF lounge for a quick chat after we spotted him on his way to lunch.
