Meet the Surfboards That Make Craig Anderson "Craig Anderson"


"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

“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."

Harley Ingleby Takes An Obscure Piece Of Surf History For A Spin


"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."

Torren Martyn - Norduland - An arctic surfing adventure


Noudurland is a film about going surfing in the harsh, cold waters of the North Atlantic. It follows three friends from the subtropical northern rivers of NSW Australia, surfers Torren Martyn and Laurie Towner, as well as needessentials founder and designer Ryan Scanlon. They travel to isolated, snow covered coastlines in search of remote waves and Filmmaker Ishka Folkwell, beautifully captures these vast and stunning landscapes on screen. With an original soundtrack composed for the film by Headland, glaciers, mountains and powerful icy surf all come to life in this adventure to the far north. Torren Martyn's narration throughout the film offers a personal reflection on the trip and a real glimpse into the challenges and rewards of traveling to frozen, distant lands in search of surf.

Torren Martyn describes how this film came about.
"The little mission down south to warm water came around as a bit of a surprise to me too, I’d originally planned to just spend a week or two with my girlfriend Aiyana in California and pictured surfing knee to waist high Malibu at best.
One idea led to another as most good times do and before we really knew it Aiyana and I were rolling south of where we were currently camped out driving in awe through these beautiful snow capped mountains in the Eastern Sierras on a pretty straight mission south to a serious contrast of scenes, we were pretty excited!
A good mate Perry Gershkow was able to juggle a few commitments around up in his neck of the woods of SF and before we really had too much time to think we kind of just woke up the next day deep in central America, it was a classic little scenario.
I was travelling with two boards, a 7’2 and a 6’10. It’s so rare that I break a board, maybe one or two a year? anyhow I managed to break them both in the first couple of days.I guess I was rattled and disheartened when the first broke and then when the second went, I was kind of just baffled like haha really? luckily the local guys there have probably stitched together more boards than anyone anywhere else in the world so it was a pretty efficient little turn around, I was so grateful for that. Thankfully my mate Luke lent me his little 5’7 and a 4’11 for a little wiggle in between.
The waves we had down there were absolutely incredible, sort of mind boggling at times. It’s humbling the energy in the ocean and the way the sand and currents dictated where and what waves we surfed. They were there one day and gone the next. I think that was the beauty of it too, we didn’t really have any expectations or too much of a plan, things just fell in to place and I wouldn’t change a thing.
For me it was one of those spontaneous experiences made up of the combination of good people, the land, weather and a little luck on our side that are a friendly little reminder of just how lucky we all are to have this to share.

El Patron

Ah, MexiLogFest - a single fin longboard contest south of the border, where dogs roam the beaches free of the confinement of leashes, as do the surfers. The event itself is much more than a competition: its a week-long celebration of the Mexican logging lifestyle in proper fiesta fashion. The camaraderie is unlike that of anywhere else, bringing together some of the most radical people from around the globe. And if you are lucky enough to go, you know that none of this is possible without the man behind it all, the head honcho, El Patrón: Israel Preciado.
