A 3D aerial view of Jaws
AerialPan, a Washington company, has taken some pretty cool shots of Peahi aka Jaws in Maui using a remote control helicopter. A screen grab is pasted here, but to get the full effect, you should check it out at the link below. And while it’s not an epic day at Jaws by any stretch, it’s [...]
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 [...]
Mark Healey’s got Brass Balls - a Q&A with DailyStoke.com
You may have seen Mark Healey in the February 2009 issue of Surfer Magazine, surfing this new slab of a wave called the Yeti. You’ve probably seen him riding a bull, pictured here. BUT you sure as sh!t have have not seen him jumping! out! of! a! perfectly! good! airplane! Watch the here. Insanity. We [...]
Not the best of places to be… Crazy Wipeout
“Is that jet-ski gonna hit my head? Is that jet-ski gonna hit my head?!” That’s what I would be thinking through the whole wipeout. Forget the razor-sharp shallow reef, or the set lurking behind, there’s a jet-ski on the wave too! Really, this would be my number one fear if [...]
“Nothing better than sex and tube rides” -Mark Richards: XXL EVENT COVERAGE
DailyStoke.com was invited to attend the Billabong XXL Big Wave awards - so my photographer and I scored some all access media passes to the ridiculous festivities surrounding the Billabong XXL Big Wave Awards. Freakin’ sweetness. If you ignored my recommendation to watch the webcast, here’s the recap from a first person perspective.
After fighting 2 hours [...]
Can’t make it to the Billabong XXL Awards Ceremony? Webcast that $h*t!
So if you’re like me, and your GoPro ran out of batteries right as you got whipped into a 65 foot bomb at Cortez Bank, then you probably didn’t get an invite to the event of all events in the big wave world this year. There is however, a consolation that will allow you to live vicariously [...]
The Body-surfer’s Accessory
When the waves are not surfable with a board, but just right for body-surfing, I ran into this fun, little accessory. It’s a mini-surfboard that straps to your hand, so you can get the ultimate body-surf! Plus it comes with fins! I haven’t actually tried it out yet, but I already have the perfect break [...]
Wipeouts Anyone?
Not usually into this sort of music, but this one’s kinda catchy and really makes the vid work for me. “The Ride” at the end is my fantasy third reef Pipeline ride of all rides.
Brian Conley holds a cam, gets shacked, and lives to show the film. Wow.
Wow. Spotted this from Billabong, courtesy of Boardistan. Brian Conley, of My Eyes Won’t Dry fame, shot this truly sick footage of him getting dropped into a Boca Grande muy grande ola . Whatevs. Except that Conley is holding a camera (at the right angle, I might add) and documents the drop and him getting [...]
Sweet Outer Banks video
Sometimes you get tired of watching guys surf perfect reef breaks that peel perfectly. With hurricane swells, hairy drops, and broken boards, the Outer Banks is a real treat to watch. It’s basically like Pipeline, except with brown water, and closeouts, and barrels, and crazy barrels, and airs, and snaps, cutbacks, carves and [...]
