The west coast of Ireland and Scotland has been likened to a "cold water Indo" for the countless reefs, coves, and slabs, which are bombarded by powerful North Atlantic swell for much of the year. Here European tube-hunter Nico Von Rupp finds himself a lonely left that pumps out tube after tube. If it wasn't for the 6-mm wetsuit, booties, hoodie, and gloves, Nico coulda sworn this was Macaroni's.... More >
Currently sitting at number three in the world after a semifinal finish in Rio, Josh Kerr dominated in conditions ranging from dribbly lefts to heaving closeout beachbreak. And now, for the first time in his career, he's in world title contention.
Kerr met up with his filmer Matt Kleiner on Australia's Gold Coast for two days and was greeted with great weather but very minimal surf. Given that Josh is one of the most versatile surfers around, he had no trouble standing out in the..... More >
Dege O'Connell is yet another prime example of the depth of talent on Maui. With an impressive list of big names like Walsh, Payne, and Marzo coming out of this small island, as well as a couple recent additions in Layer and Meola, it's hard to believe that Maui has even more surfers we'll be hearing about in the future.
Currently residing in Hana, on the isle's North Shore, Dege O'Connell has a variety of big and small waves to choose from. Here's Dege's highlight reel..... More >
Southern California's most iconic summer pointbreak, Surfrider Beach in Malibu, has been suffering from a pesky closeout problem in recent years. The inlet has been breaching at the east end of Malibu Lagoon. And as a result, the upper points are starved of sand while the wave at First Point is being broken up by a sandbar.
The current positioning of the inlet is also causing problems for the city of Malibu due to the rapid erosion of the land surrounding the historic Adamson..... More >
Our comrades over at Vans just dropped a mini-documentary on last year's Pipeline Masters event, which, as you may recall, enjoyed some of the best conditions ever seen in competition. As Shane Dorian put it, "I've been in the Pipe Masters since I was 19 or 20 years old. I've been in a lot of them, and this year was probably the best one of all for sure."
Here is episode one of three-- the early rounds:... More >
For most surf-travelers, Costa Rica conjures up images of dense jungles and brown-sand beachbreaks. This may be largely accurate on the country's more popular Pacific side. But if you have the time and knowlege, Costa Rica's Caribbean coast is holding some gems. Here, East-Coast-Americans Balaram Stack, Eric Geiselman, and CJ Hobgood venture south, following local pro Gilbert Brown and his dreadlocks as he leads them to some unexpected treasures.

Australia's Dylan Longbottom is one of the premier hellmen of our sport-- one of those rare humans who takes joy in being terrified. A standout performer in the most deadly conditions, Dylan was one of the only surfers to actually make it out of a proper beast during the Tahiti Code Red mega-swell. In this highlight reel we see some of his more notable sessions at Shipstern's Bluff, Teahupoo, West Oz, Kirra, and a couple of secret haunts.
In addition to his barrel-riding antics,..... More >
Frenchman Hugues Oyarzabal just returned from a 5-month stay in Indonesia, and unlike most traveling surfers he's got more than some tall tales to show for it. As a goofyfoot, Hugues found an endless supply of winding lefthand tubes on Bali's Bukit Peninsula and on several outer-island missions.
Lucky for us, he was able to strap on his Go-Pro for some of the most mesmerizing POV shots to date. With the help of his girlfriend's land angles, he crafted this 33-minute film..... More >
While those of us in California are preparing for a hot summer and small waves, our friends in places like Western Australia are already in the full swing of winter. Winter in West Oz means big swell and chillier waters, much like it does for California. Best mates Ry Craike and Dino Adrian have already been scoring, as evidenced by these two fresh clips....

Here we have a winter in Hawaii clip from Dave Rastovich's time on Oahu. Rasta talks about venturing past the Pipeline scene to the shore's other waves, and does a bit of experimenting with surf sleds.
Rasta has strayed from the norm in many areas of his life and career, and surfboards are no different. The Australian's board of choice in Hawaii for the last couple seasons is not exactly what you'd expect in North Shore juice-- a winged twin-fin shaped by Akila Aipa (which you..... More >
