The next stop in the fight for the Final 5 heads 100 miles from the ocean to the Jeep Surf Ranch Pro. Showing you around his creation in Lemoore, California is 11-time World Champion and Surf Ranch innovator Kelly Slater. The GOAT takes you through his tricked-out Airstream trailer parked beside Perkins Lake, shows off his skills on the guitar and ukulele, shares a small portion of his massive trophy collection, and rides around the 700-yard wave pool.
Craig Anderson and co knife through endless desert tubes, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Australia. Stylish and slick, Anderson and his laid back style are a welcome sight to any surf edit, slide in.
One of the best slabs on the East Coast of Australia is literally right in the heart of Sydney (only 20 minutes from our international airport). With only a short 19 year history Cape Solander formally labeled OURS by the Bra Boys, this heaving wave of consequence turns on again for what has been one of the better years EVER! With a mix of paddle and tow surfing the Cape turns on into Part 2 of the second day. Enjoy.

Jayce is a regular on the British surf scene and has over a decade’s worth of experience in competition and exploring all over the world in search of waves, winning multiple titles and scoring some of the best breaks this world has to offer.
Jayce couldn’t be happier about joining the C-Skins Slaves team. “I really am over the moon to join such a solid British brand who produce in my mind wetsuits and other core and essential gear that feel right at the top of their game. The crew at C-Skins are super friendly, and we seem to be on the same page. I’m looking forward to seeing where our collaboration takes us going forward.”
When he isn’t growing organic veg, creating his smallholding with partner Hannah, he is found in the water so demands a lot from his suits, “I surf pretty much every day and have experienced - in my 22years of water time – the good, the bad and the ugly! Comfortable, long-lasting suits are vital to me for the enjoyment, ease, and general feel in the water, from surfing, training to spearfishing.” the Cornish charger said. “I have been using a 5/4mm hooded steamer for the last six months, and not one leak has evolved in the time! The comfort is next level, and I really feel that I can surf to the best of my ability through the winter months.”

“We’re stoked for our new partnership with Jayce”, explains Martyn Kirby, Marketing Executive at C-Skins “He is a great fit for our team, talented, enthusiastic and capable of providing valuable insights that we can feed into our design process, to continually improve our wetsuits.”
Both Jayce and C-Skins are looking forward to the accomplished shortboarder putting the hardware through their paces.
June 11th - to coincide with the start of the G7 summit in Carbis Bay, Cornwall.
With the media narrative inevitably focused on what a postcard beautiful place this can be, Mickey has written ‘County Lines’ to voice some of the more stark realities of living here.
He says,
"I wrote this song to voice some simple truth from my own experiences as a Cornish person.
Environmentally Cornwall is raw & stunning but I also grew up here amongst some of the most deprived communities in the UK.
Where local families struggle under the shadow of million pound second and third homes.
The royal family alone owns a billion pound Cornish portfolio - while local working people can’t afford a home; schools can’t afford equipment; hospitals are at breaking point; the local industries are either on their knees or broken.
To find a path and make a life here is tough. As a kid you wrestle with that lack of hope and lack of opportunity, and then take that lack of confidence into adulthood.
I have lost three close friends to suicide alone. It’s a tragically frequent theme in our communities.
In an age of identity politics, Kernow's ancient cultural roots feel so strong in a microcosm here but they are rarely celebrated or acknowledged beyond the Tamar.
You grow up literally being told your best crack at some kind of future is to leave.
Now we see Cornwall being used to suit the PR campaign of a Tory government who have never shown a thread of genuine care for the fortunes of Kernow's people.
In my mind, if you’re going to take something from a place and its people, you should be giving something positive back.
This is just my way of saying yes, it’s beautiful and raw - I love it with all my heart and I am blessed to live here in so many ways - but let’s not pretend everything is rosy just because it looks pretty, there are many people struggling here too."
Thursday 10th June, Finisterre will host Sea7, a free online ocean activist training camp. The digital event will stream live, bringing together leading activists, scientists and change makers to equip the community with the tools and knowledge to stand up and protect our ocean.
The Sea7 Ocean Activist Camp will take place one day before the G7 summit in Cornwall. While the G7 summit plans to discuss global challenges such as coronavirus and climate change, Finisterre believes the health of our oceans must take priority.
“We are all connected to the sea, even if we think we’re not; from coastal villages to landlocked cityscapes. Every river, every stream, every drop of rain from the sky is part of this complex and interwoven system. When we live in harmony with nature, we thrive. But if we continue to neglect and abuse it, our own future looks much less certain.”
The event goes live at 4pm BST on Thursday June 10th Here</a>
