Left or right? Is COVID-19 tearing apart surfing?

A few days ago we posted a photo on our Insta that depicted what appeared to be a crowded beach scene in Newport Beach, of which was reported by the source as from April 25th. Normally, a crowded beach in Newport is a very common occurrence as we approach summer, however, as we know, things…

Watch: “Leo Fioravanti” If only briefly

A little clip of Leo dropped into the box today, surfing what looks like some fun Haleiwa. It’s a short one but well worth the visit. Leo is looking very solid going into whatever is next for pro surfing. Only time will tell. Also, hopefully the WSL can resolve the injury wildcard thingy with he…

Watch: “Big Monday” By Jack Coleman

This latest from our content share with NobodySurf features a few large bombs from Pipe, and the usual crew who are on it every swell.

Watch: Episode #3 of “The Life of Froth” Big Crazy Slabs

Well, here we go again. If there is anyone charging as much as Nic, please let us know. Well, that Koa Rothman roll-in to near disaster at Pipe the other day was pretty mental, but you get our drift. Nic is on it. To let them tell it, Nic and João Macedo grew up together,…

Through all of the craziness of late, we do get rewarded from time to time with some of the exceptional creative work that is still being produced. We recently hooked up with Western Australian photographer, Tom Pearsall, or Driftwood Photography, as he’s also known, to have a brief chat and exchange a few images. Tom’s…
