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

The story behind THIS Kelly Slater vid - Talking with Morgan Maassen

If you haven’t seen this YouTube vid of Kelly Slater saying “Hello, Rincon”, you should. We tracked down the dude who made it, and he just so happens to be Santa Barbara local, Morgan Maassen. What’s more, and more important, is that this surf filmmaker is only 18 years old, and already creating some pretty [...]

Guinness Surfer Commercial

Is this supposed to be Irish surfers of lore? There’s an ancient tribal feel to the content, but they’ve got fiberglass/single-fin Guns. The guys frolicking in their underwear has got me guessing too - not likely in the freezing North Atlantic…unless, after a few too many pints of Guinness!

Ever wondered how a machine shapes a surfboard?

This video gives a quick peak about just how your precious little surfboard was probably shaped, hopefully in the United States and America! It is pretty cool to see the machine in action, and the video touts the benefits of such an investment. Dudes, it just makes sense! Starting at $25,000, these shapers can even [...]

Wow. This surfing video is a must see - shacked in slo-mo

This is the most stunning surfing clip I’ve seen in a long time. The clip is an extract from a six-part series called South Pacific being broadcasted on BBC2. The vid shows Dylan Longbottom in super sloooooooooooooow motion and high definition, surfing a nice twelve footer and getting shacked. The vid is HD, and [...]

I can’t believe they had the balls to make the drop on those logs

Some vintage footage of surfers at Sunset, Pipe, Waiamea in the 1960s, including George Downing, Ricky Grigg, Greg Noll and Mike Doyle. As the narrator says a couple of looooooong rides into this video: “And that’s what you call really getting stoked.” Stoked indeed. This surfing vid is a beaut. The best part is watching [...]

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 [...]

Here fishy fishy - a surfboard shaping time lapse video

Fish shapes. They’re back. And here you can witness one being shaped by Rick Malwitz surfboards. These time lapse surfboard shaping videos are rad, and give a good glimpse into what it takes to shape a surfboard. In this case, a little fish.

Derek Bockelman surfs better switch than you do normal

I know you’re thinking it can’t be so.  Thinking, how can a guy possible surf better switchfoot than I surf normally?  Thinking, do I really suck that much that this guy, who’s surfing the wrong way, surfs better than me?  Yes, you do suck that much and yes, Derek Bockelman surfs better than you when he’s [...]

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 [...]
