Kelly Slater, the GOAT, widely regarded as the greatest in the history of the sport. 11 World Surf League (WSL) titles, showcasing his dominance and longevity in competitive surfing. Slater's influence extends beyond his competitive achievements; he has revolutionised the sport with innovative manoeuvres and his deep understanding of wave dynamics and his mystical abilities in the water. Additionally, his environmental advocacy and entrepreneurial ventures, such as the creation of the artificial wave pool technology, further cement his legacy as a transformative figure in surfing. Slater's impact on surfing culture and the broader athletic community continues to resonate globally, let's see how he gets on becoming a dad again at 52, ouch. Good luck Kelly, good luck. @goofysurfista

Are you not entertained? Sensational performances from Caroline Marks and John John Florence throughout Finals Day crowned them ultimate victors to close out proceedings. Marks’ astonishing form from the Elimination Round scare to the Final showed she’s up for the task to stay in the Top 5 and fight for back-to-back World Titles after going back-to-back here in El Salvador over Gabriel Bryan. The men’s finalist put on a masterclass of aerial antics and one of the most progressive showings in recent memory on Tour, but it was Florence who claimed the crown over an in-form Yago Dora for his first win since 2021. The dust has settled and the fight for the Final 5 narrows to just two events and everything left to compete for. The World Title race now heads for the Vivo Rio Pro presented by Corona June 22 - 30.

Celebrated style master Clay Marzo, has recently secured a sponsorship with RVCA, a decade after parting ways with Quik. This partnership marks a significant milestone in Marzo's career, bringing together his outlandish talent and RVCA's commitment to supporting innovative and ingenious athletes. Marzo has creativity and innovation on tap, and when it's turned on he's a dream in the water.

Miki Dora, often referred to as "Da Cat," was a legendary and enigmatic figure in the surfing world, epitomising the rebellious spirit of the sport in the 1950s and 60s.

Born in 1934 in Budapest and later moving to California, Dora became synonymous with Malibu's iconic waves. His smooth, stylish rides and disdain for the commercialisation of surfing set him apart as both a pioneer and a controversial figure.

Dora's life was as tumultuous as his surf style; he was known for his run-ins with the law and periods of self-imposed exile, which only added to his mystique.

Despite his complex persona, Dora's legacy as a purist who championed surfing as a way of life rather than a spectacle continues to resonate with many in the surf community.

For this video I went back to one of Wyoming's best surfable rapids in the Snake River. First time back after almost a decade to rediscover the magic of this charming little surf scene in the heart of the US. And reconnecting with the inspiring scene that has sent me on the path I'm on today 🙂

Huge thanks to Max Mogren for the hospitality and letting me crash in the shed. To Cam and Guch for always coming down and bringing the good vibes and hi levels of shred. To KB for being my river GURU. And all the locals at the wave, love this crew! - Dylan Graves
