A State of Play follows surfer Drew McPherson and photographer Nathan Henshaw from their home town on the east coast of Australia to the remote desert coast in search of waves. This film explores the idea of staying in a state of play, retaining a childlike curiosity and stoke that youth brings. It showcases the stunning water cinematography of Nathan Henshaw and captures the relationship between a surfer and a water cinematographer making a short surf film. This film is a unique exhibit of light, oceanic elements and celebrates what many surfers spend their whole life chasing.

"Craig Anderson looks good on literally any surfcraft. Stick a 5’9″ shred sled under his feat and he’ll do a knock-knee bottom turn to tweaked out air. Give the lad a lengthier single fin and he’ll soul arch through a tube like a cosmic 1970s surf spiritualist. Somehow nothing looks corny or contrived in either case, and who else can you say that about?
In the latest episode of “Quivers”, the series in which we get a look under the hood of our favorite surfers’ boardbags, videographer Dave Fox talks to Ando about his eclectic arsenal of wave-riding weaponry and digs through some of our favorite clips of him riding these craft through the years."
“It´s not only about waves” es un viaje de @evadiez y @kepaacero en el corazón de la jungla africana en busca de olas épicas y humanidad.
Como surfistas nos encanta viajar. Estamos acostumbrados a ir a lugares exóticos en un intento de surfear buenas olas y llevarnos esa experiencia a casa.
La intención en este caso no era solo llevarnos algo. Hicimos una campaña en las redes sociales para que donaseis tablas de surf, las recolectamos y las enviamos a este rincón de África, para así, no solo llevarnos algo, sino también dejarles algo de lo que tanto nos aporta.
“It´s not only about waves” es un proyecto de intercambio cultural y una experiencia humana fascinante.

"(...) The film tells the story of the modern performance twin through the lens of Australian icon Mark Richards, who found inspiration in the boards of Reno Abellira, shaping tutelage in Dick Brewer and created a design all his own that he surfed to four straight world titles.
To this day, Richard's feat of making his own boards and surfing them to such success stands apart as one of the greatest achievements of all time surfing. But what's perhaps more impressive is the way that twin-fin designs have evolved in the aftermath, disappearing for years before reemerging in modern surf culture as the go-to craft for those looking to balance performance surfing with high-speed, skatey fun.
"Fast & Loose" celebrates that unique flavor not just through the story of MR, but through modern rippers like Zeke Lau and Kael Walsh, who took the classic twins and updated versions for a spin. It was a fun film to make, as it damn well should be when the subject is twin fins. Hopefully the feeling is contagious."
"The Shortboard Revolution was a helluva thing. The pace of the most-explosive period in surfboard design was break-neck, full of blink-and-you'll-miss-it concepts that may have worked just fine, but for one reason or another never really caught on. Case in point: a certain Bob Simmons-inspired twin-fin noserider acquired by Mark Ingleby, father of Australian longboarding ace and two-time world champ Harley Ingleby.
The senior Ingleby started collecting obscure surfboards back in the '80s—he's dedicated his entire house to the pursuit, in fact—which allowed his son Harley to have no shortage of unique and overlooked craft, like the magic twin, to put to the test and spark his imagination.
In the video above, Harley discusses what it was like to grow up with the ultimate board collection hanging over his head, before getting the backstory of the twin's design from local shaping icon Bill Tolhurst and taking it for a spin."
World Longboard Tour surfers Justin Quintal, Harrison Roach, Honolua Blomfield and Rachael Tilly recently had the opportunity to draw some classic lines at the Surf Ranch.
All four can be seen surfing in the Longboard Classic New York, which runs Sept 6-12. Catch all the action on WorldSurfLeague.com and the free WSL App.
