Words below: Dane Reynolds

Matt doesn’t believe human behavior is influencing global warming. Matt has a 5th grade degree in science from Pierpont elementary.

It’s December 7th and it feels like it’s June. Been flat and gloomy. August had 55 degree water. I swear the pipe used to have a half decent arrangement of cobbles for a somewhat rippable albeit soft peeler. Now it’s a turd. Theres a graveyard of pipe cobbles at San Jon. No rain to restock the pipe.

‘Star Bar,’ remember that? Every 4/5 years there’d be a rain event significant enough to create a massive sandbar at Santa Clara river mouth that extended out 100 yards sometimes more. It’s been about 17 years since the last ‘Star Bar.’

What I’m saying is I notice a change, in my short time of paying attention to the weather where I live, 20 or so years, and that is alarming. 20 years is a tiny slice of time for drastic change. Is it purely a cycle? Or is the earth a microwave choking on carbon and there’s no turning back? I know everyone reading this is an expert, can we get some scientific evaluation? Anyone wanna compare notes from your regional data?

Thanks for tuning in

Bleubird Nordic Robe

Bleubird Nordic Robe

The Nordic Robe is destined to become an essential part of your adventure kit. Whether it’s for changing out of your wetsuit after a surf, or for keeping you warm and sheltered before an early morning cold water swim, the Nordic Robe has got you covered.

The Irish brand has a strong environmental ethos that is at the forefront of every decision they make. They plant a tree for every order placed and use biodegradable or paper packaging. 

The exterior of the robe is made from DWR coated heavy duty ripstop (which is recycled). The interior features a super soft deep pile sherpa lining which is also made 100% from recycled plastic bottles.

The Nordic Robe also has a 100% waterproof membrane, meaning you can stay out in the harshest of weather and you’ll still be kept dry and warm.

The Nordic Robes come in 5 unique colourways, Navy, Maroon, Coral, Green and Yellow. Each colour of the robes has a contrasting interior lining to complete the look. This way you can make a statement whilst embracing the elements.

Bleubird’s Nordic Changing Robes can be found on their website bleubird.com and in selected UK and Irish retailers. Carve readers can benefit from a 20% discount with the code: ‘carve20'.

Dbah Dreaming

Dbah Dreaming

Nice pulse of south swell on the Gold Coast today providing plenty of fun waves and plenty of good surfers were out at Dbah making the most of it. Something for everyone in this session with some clean barrels, carves and airs. 

The Cave

The Cave

Why is surfing The Cave the most dangerous wave in Portugal? Why have so many people got hurt while surfing this wave? It's just a brutal wave unfolding on nearly dry reef.

Why do we keep coming back for it even though Antonio Silva has broken his back twice out there?

Because they love it. Another strike mission down to The Cave, it was absolutely firing - Nic Von Rupp
