Malakai Hagley VS Mullaghmore
At just eighteen years old, Malalai Hagley made his first trip out to Mullaghmore, Ireland — a place known for its raw power, heavy water, and unforgiving conditions. The clips capture more than just waves; they document a formative moment in his journey, stepping into one of the most demanding surf breaks in the world for the very first time.
Equal respect goes to the local surfers and safety teams, whose presence and expertise make it possible for other surfers to push their limits in such an intense environment. Watching firsthand how hard people elevate the level at Mullaghmore can leave a lasting impression — a reminder of the dedication, trust, and progression that define big-wave surfing.
Bucalemu Perfection, Chile
Between 2017 and 2018, a breakwater was built in Bucalemu, Chile, representing a significant investment for the municipality.
The project aimed to improve working conditions for artisanal fishermen, but the outcome turned out very differently.
The structure altered the natural flow of the tides, causing the bay to begin filling with sand. With this unexpected change, something no one had foreseen appeared: a perfect wave—perhaps one of the best waves ever accidentally created by human intervention in Chile.

Isa World Championships Junior 2025
Two years after his U16 World Champion title in El Tuncon, Salvador, Quiksilver’s Dylan Donegan became the new ISA U18 World Champion this weekend in Peru. After delivering consistently strong results throughout the first 6 main rounds, Dylan set off for semi-finals, landing a 14.10 that sent him through to finals.
In the final heat of the day, Dylan was faced with Jacob Tuner, Tiger Abubo and Lukas Skinner, taking the win and U18 World Champion title with a final score of 17.50. Our own Lukas Skinner made it to his third consecutive final in the ISA Surfing World Junior Championships, securing a 4th place finish in the U18s.
“This win is probably the most exciting one I’ve had because for me to be a world junior was always a dream but to win twice in a row and be the first guy to ever do it just feels amazing. I’m so stoked I don’t even know what to say just thanks to everyone. I’m truly speechless.”
Over the past couple of years, the young Canarian/Irish surfer has proven himself to be one of the World’s best young talents, securing the WSL Junior European Champion title in 2024 and finishing third in the WSL World Junior Championships the same year.
