Contest wins, world titles and editorial coverage are just a minor glimpse into the real lives of our day-to-day surfing gods. With arguably the best surf team out there, Dragon is giving you the chance to see what these guys are doing in-between prepping for heats and putting stickers on their boards. In this month’s installment, check what Mick Fanning, Owen Wright, Rob Machado and Balaram Stack have been doing…’In between the heats.’

ROB MACHADO- Shaping Alaias is fun.

The kid comes out of the gates on fire! Wrapping up a 2^nd place in the Australian Open in Manly. He's off to a great start to the 2012 season, rated 12^th on the World Ranking. Let's go Evan!

Owen Wright wins 'Male Surfer of the Year'! The awards went down this last week and it was the 21 year-old taking home top honors in the Australian Surfing Awards.

Good on ya' Owen!

The Maryland kid is at it again. He spent most of his winter in Hawaii and was able to compile this edit. He's got it made in the shade at the moment.
