there is usually a perfect spot to be in just in front of the breaking wave

Joyful Joisey Barrels

A November session in New Jersey, with some tight little rights. Nicely done by New Jersey kings Sam “The Hammer” Hammer and Clay Pollioni. Musak by the Ting Tings.

A surfer getting spit out of a barrel won’t get you pregnant

Metaphor time! If getting barreled is the closest thing to an orgasm, than this is the closest a man will ever get to a woman’s. It’s common knowledge that a female orgasm last much longer compared to a Male’s, and to put this in layman’s terms, a man’s peak would be compared to a quick [...]

Wave Pool Found in Ocean off Africa

I had the very very long pleasure of watching the new …Lost 5′5″ x 19 1/4″: Redux surf epic. As with anything that runs on and on for six hours, it was hard to maintain focus. After watching plenty of barrels and plenty of airs, the movie slowly lulled me into a hypnotic state of [...]

Taking a trip to Baja? Check out the Sportsmobile. The ulimate surfing vehicle

We stumbled upon the ultimate surfing truck/van thing - and it’s called a Sportsmobile. We were intrigued - so we did some digging and interviewed one of the main dudes at Sportsmobile. Here goes.
DailyStoke: The SportsMobile has probably been favorite of exploratory surfers since before I was born, which is 1978. What’s the back story?
Sportsmobile: [...]

Waves for Development - Surfing and Volunteering in Peru

400 boards. That’s what Global Surf Industries donated to a new surfer-run organization called WAVES for Development. WAVES for Development is less than a year old, but doing heaps for locals in Peru who might never have the chance to surf, even on waves right there for the taking. (Like the pretty “little” left shown here.)

Surfboard boardbag fees aren’t going down anytime soon

Given that surfboard boardbag fees aren’t going down anytime soon, and I’m heading to Costa Rica, what I really, really need is a board like this that can collapse into two pieces. Not a longboard, but a shortboard. You may have seen this board somewhere as a concept board, a carbon fiber collapsible surfboard or [...]

The inflatable surfboard bag solution has arrived. And it’s Sick.

Ok, so here’s the deal. I took a surfboard to Puerto Rico with American Airlines.
American Airlines:
1 - Put a hole in the deck.
2 - Crushed the tail.
Whose fault was it? Mine, of course. For thinking that I could properly pack a surfboard in a regular board bag, cross my fingers, and make it to Puerto [...]

Santa Monica Surf Case review

After having boards broken and/or dinged on every surf trip I took over a 15+ year period, I finally decided I needed to change the way I traveled.  I searched all around the internet for a sensible solution and came up with only two options: 1) continue to use a soft bag, with my boards [...]

Iceland’s finest surfer, surfing the world’s coolest waves: Georg Hilmarsson

Georg Hilmarsson is an ordinary surfer, living in an extraordinary place. Georg has the distinction of being one of Iceland’s very first year-round, native surfers. Regardless of the cold air, cold water, and generally harsh conditions, Georg is truly stoked. (And no, it never does get warm.)
An Aussie Beginning
Born and raised in Iceland, Hilmarsson moved [...]

Cyprus - Going off the surf map

Luring us brave traveling surfers back to the aqua blue Mediterranean is the island of Cyprus. Like many of its Mediterranean neighbors, Cyprus is a hit or miss surf destination; amazing when it’s on, but flat like a lake when storms and necessary pressure systems are not in play.
As you can see in the [...]
