Surfing hasn’t escaped the technological revolution which is sweeping the globe at an exponentially increasing rate, with all kinds of new contraptions – both good and bad – popping up on the market in recent years. Certainly, some great developments have been made in terms of surfboard and wetsuit manufacturing, something we’ll discuss in detail …
Outside of a handful of well-known breaks in South Africa, Africa doesn’t exactly scream ‘surf trip’ for most people. But as the world’s second-biggest continent, and surrounded on most sides by vast expanses of ocean, there’s bound to be an abundance of great places to surf. Below, we take a look at five of the …
Here in Australia, we are probably blessed with the best waves one single country could hope for, both in quantity and quality.

Naysayers despise what (and who) they bring to the sport, while others see …

With the year having finally come to a close, we thought it would be a good time to remind you of some of the stranger things surfing had to deal with throughout one of the most unusual years we will likely ever experience.
It’s been a tumultuous year for the World Surf League, who saw their 2020 season cancelled as a result of the pandemic which has shut down so many sporting leagues across the globe over the course of this year. It returned with a bang over the last couple of weeks, however, with the world’s best …
