Awesome experience. Could’ve watched for days.

The guy in the video was getting towed by a red bull sea doo. Any ideas who it might be?

I’d love to get some more footage, this guy was hitting 360’s but I didn’t catch it on film. Hopefully it’s posted somewhere.

Why? Is this a Venice beach thing?

Hey everyone. My dad is getting a reverse shoulder surgery soon and I figured I’d ask here if anyone has had this done and is still surfing? He’s 64 and has been surfing his whole life so it’s a pretty big part of his life. Any stories about yourself or someone you know who has had this done and is active in a sport would be appreciated.

I’m a 22 year old male and I’m a fairly good surfer, I’m pretty good compared to most other surfers where I live. For about a year I’ve been debating quitting my job as an auto body technician to go travel the world and surf while I’m not married or have any kids or other responsibilities. I can go on a surf trip every few months, but I live in west Florida where we don’t get waves frequently at all and they are usually blown out. Part of me thinks I should just suck it up and stay home and stop being ungrateful for my job and where I live. Another part of me wants to sell my stuff, take all the money I have saved up which is about $50,000 and go to indo or somewhere with good waves all the time for a year or so because now or never.

Thoughts? Advice? Am I stupid for thinking this and maybe trying to ruin my life or do I need to get it out of my system? Would love to hear any feedback or experiences.

Deleted instagram last year and now I feel way more pumped to go surfing. Maybe its because you see less surfing on a daily basis.. less influencers, media etc..?

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Does anyone have any opinion on summer vibes travel bags? I’m looking for a bag for Bali for 2-3 surfboards.

Gotta bunch right now and trying to figure out the cause. Do surfers always have pimple butt?

Firing waves, some really good surfing, and a few debatable calls (scores).

Thank you for the time.

Anyone ever stayed in this area and can comment on lodging options or Toro Surf tours?

Were looking to do a quick trip to the Punta Mita area, still deciding if we want to stay in Punta Mita town, or book a hotel near Burros. The forecast is saying only 2-3 ft for el anclote (will that even break?), and 4-6ft plus for Burros which is why im leaning that way. Anyone surf Burros recently? Still doable for noseriding or does it turn more into a shortboard wave at this size?

I live in norcal and prefer to surf with a hood, but I've noticed more neck soreness than usual after sessions when I wear my wetsuit with a hood attached. I think it's because the attached hood creates resistance when I turn my head, so I'm basically doing a ton of neck resistance exercises every time I surf.

Anyone have this experience too? And if so, is there a detached hood option that you would recommend?

Not sure what to do next, re shape a fish from the blank? Im honestly devastated. Any thoughts?

I'm looking for fin suggestions for a Lost Quiver Killer. I have a 7-8 year old set of Future Mayhem that are nice quads, and a AM2 thruster set, but I'd like to put a set on my Christmas list.

Old man still love surfing

Found a pair of rad 70s style shades while walking along the beach back to my stuff yeaterday. You guys ever score free swag that was actually useful to you? Its like being rewarded for surfing.

I'm the director. This is the full film, free on YouTube, 77 minutes, in Wolof with English subtitles.

Dakar sits at the westernmost point of Africa and gets swell 365 days a year. The wave off Ngor is the one The Endless Summer filmed sixty years ago, but the local scene that grew up around it has rarely told its own story. We followed Dame Samb, Déguène Thioune and Fallou Bousso for a year. A lot of the footage came off the surfers' own phones, and the story is told through their WhatsApp voice notes. There are no sit-down interviews and no staged scenes.

Executive produced by SURFER. Happy to answer anything about the surfers, the shoot, or surfing in Senegal.

We always told people on the biggest XXL days if you looked back towards Newport Bay you could see over the houses and it’s 100% true.

Looking to wear a wetsuit as a costume on Halloween. Can anyone recommend the cheapest, lightest wetsuit that won’t make me die of heat exhaustion at a house party? I’m a petite female (under 5’ 0”). Thanks!

Heading to El Salvador this fall / winter. I heard these guys were good, but wanted to see if anyone actually used them? I was at a bar when I got this rec so it’s a little hazy
