Never released footage from the European leg of the 2017 World Surf League tour and the glorious days when the pros enjoyed the best beach breaks in the world.
Shot during the World Title race with Gabriel Medina, John John and friends find endless beach days in France and Portugal in black white and infra red..
While recovering from a broken femur, Kiama surfer Aron Cox opened up iMovie, downloaded a drive full of old waves shot around Australia, and the Indian and Pacific - all filmed back when we could travel of course - and edited them into order. The result is Milk.
Ease yourself into the week with some ambient sounds and creative surfing. Featuring Mick Fanning, Caroline Marks and many more.
Refill For Good first launched in July 2020, during Plastic Free July. It was created to empower people everywhere to swap to reusable alternatives from single-use plastics that pollute green spaces, waters, and landfills. Of the estimated 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic produced since the 1950s, approximately 60% has ended up in landfill or in the natural environment having a catastrophic impact on our planet (source). The ongoing Refill for Good campaign delivers simple, achievable actions and positive insights to mitigate some of that plastic landfill waste. It is shared by Hydro Flask’s community of Refill For Good advocates which includes pro athletes, ocean scientists and worldwide thought leaders.
Through this year’s Refill For Good campaign, Hydro Flask has launched a limited-edition bottle. With $100,000 (approx. £72,000) of the bottle’s proceeds benefitting the Surfrider Foundation, this year-long partnership will help to protect the world’s oceans, waves, and beaches. The bottles are available in two sizes, 21 oz Standard Mouth and 32 oz Wide Mouth. They come in four water-inspired hues and can be purchased through Hydro Flask’s website and selected retailers. Each bottle delivers endless refills for life and features a linear #RefillForGood design. Both sizes pair a custom Flex Cap lid and durable silicone bottle boot for added protection and extra grip. Hydro Flask’s sweat-free Color Last™ powder coat is dishwasher safe and the bottle comes with a Lifetime Warranty too. TempShield™ double-wall vacuum insulation keeps drinks ice cold for 24 hours (or piping hot for up to 12) – even more reason to ditch single-use plastic bottles this summer and #RefillForGood.

It with great sadness that we have to report British surfing and shaping legend Chris Jones has passed away. Chris was at the fore front of shaping and surfing in Britain. He worked in Newquay in 1965 when working at the Bilbo surfboard factory he also shaped for Vitamin Sea and his own brand. He was a competitive surfer winning the English, British and European titles in the same year and representing Great Britain.
“Bryony Jones his daughter posted,
” It is with incredible sadness that myself, Kelly Jones and Joe Jones announce that our Dad, legendary British surfer and master shaper Chris Jones passed away yesterday 28/8/21.
It’s one thing to lose your Dad, but when your Dad is Chris Jones it makes it all the harder. He was an incredible man who touched the lives of people the world over.
His accolades included winning the European surfing championships, achieving legendary status in the Cornish surfing world and he was the most fierce of friends. I imagine there will be a lot of people who will wish to pay their respects to this amazing man.
I will be in touch to advise of his funeral arrangements when the time comes.
But for now, please join us in grieving for this incredible man.
Our Dad:”
Proper legend.

“This event at home is the perfect way to get back into competition rhythm after the Tokyo Games,” Pauline Ado, Anglet local, Olympian and former CT athlete commented. “It was a lot, emotionally and of course a taxing experience physically and mentally as well. I’m happy to get back to work this week with the continuing goal to get back to the Championship Tour and it starts right here at the QS level. 2024 is definitely on my mind as well, that first Olympic experience was incredible and I would definitely love to do it again in the next games.”

After a quick start on Tuesday, competition was put on hold Wednesday and only just managed to run a few more heats in small but contestable surf at the Chambre d’Amour this morning. The men’s Round of 96 was completed as the remaining three days of the event waiting period are still very uncertain wave-wise. The next call will be at 11 a.m Friday.
