This Is How You Navigate A Beach Break | Sam Coffey

"Santa Cruz native Sam Coffey took a recent trip to Panama’s precious gem and plopped into honey holes of various sizes. In terms of defrosting, he couldn’t have chosen a better location. Why fight for scraps in Hawaii when Bocas is dishing out mini-kegs on repeat. Friendly locals and cheap beer never hurt either."

"FORM" || feat. John John Florence


"Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project. It took many different shapes over the years to get to where it is now. It was originally started in December 2017 as a film that focused more on a group of friends who grew up learning to surf Pipeline. Through different creative rounds, and a couple years on the shelf, it eventually evolved into an idea that followed the imagined point of view of Pipeline, with a perspective narrated by local musician Paula Fuga. It was a fun challenge to create a visual history of the wave, but this is not meant to be a complete story. There are too many people to name who have become a part of Pipeline's history over the years; they could never be fit into one short film. Thank you again to everyone who helped us put this together. The project is dedicated to Derek Ho, and those like him who have dedicated their life to surfing Pipeline."

DEUS EX MACHINA BERLIN

For their newest flagship store in Berlin, Deus Ex Machina went all out. Not only does the complex — or The Fountain of Eternal Effervescence as they call it — have a full lineup of motorcycles and merchandise, a restaurant, mixologist bar, and a garden, but it also has a pool. Dubbed the Wellenwerk, the indoor pool features an artificial wave, giving locals of the land-locked capital a taste of the surf life. While the Deus Temple is currently open, the spot will also host a motorbike workshop, beer garden, and custom surfboard workshop in the near future."

Gato Herói Acid

 

Gato Herói Acid from Wild Things on Vimeo.

The original acid was conceived by Robin over 10 years ago for a trip to Morocco, testing prototypes in the long running points from knee high to double overhead. The Acid Series has evolved from these early trips into a few closely related models. Incredible paddle power, drive and speed on the open face, these boards love surfing with the rail engaged! The acid will surprise you with its original approach in all situations - from driving turns and tubing sections on bigger days to high speed trim on knee-high pipes. It fits well among a quiver of longboards and is a versatile board, great to travel with!

Can An Alt-Board Guy Learn To Ride A Modern Thruster? 'The Mysterious Af...

The dancing dandy starring in the film above is Mr. Harrison Roach, one of the darlings of the post-modern ride-anything movement.
For the last 10 years Harry and a handful of "open-minded" free surfers have managed to scrape livings as an aspirational, relatable, journeyman aesthete. For Harry and surfers like him, their marketability has come not in spite of, but because of, his abstinence from anything like mainstream high-performance equipment, ie. the modern thruster.
And this makes some people very angry. Many of you watching this right now have long held the belief that the heavily-glassed, elegantly tinted alternative equipment these “hipster kooks” ride has concealed fundamental flaws in their surfing. "Put these guys on a real surfboard," you say. "Then we’ll see how pretty they look.”
This is what happens when you put one of surfing’s foremost alternative stylists on teamlite foam and fiberglass.
