Soul Ranch – Kelly Slater invites Gerry Lopez to ride the first left at his testing facility.
Love this so much. Love the fact Kelly invited Gerry. Love the way Gerry surfs the wave feeling the lip as he glides along. Love the vibe.
Will the wave be rolled out commercially any time soon, not too sure…. Got to kill all that wash first….
Machado next up please…
Boardmasters 2017 After Movie has just landed, so it’s time to kick back, and relive all those memories from an unforgettable five days on the Cornish coastline, while Hein Cooper serenades with a live recording of ‘Rusty’ direct from Watergate Beach. A sold-out Boardmasters opened for another year this August, with exhilarating surf action and world-class live music across two simply stunning sites in Cornwall. The UK’s surf mecca of Fistral Beach played host to the biggest surf competition of its kind in the UK, while the sun-drenched headland at Watergate Bay brought unforgettable, supersize gigs from huge names including headliners Two Door Cinema Club, Jamiroquaiand Alt-J. Check out the After Movie here.
The Cornish coast was a truly picture-perfect a backdrop, with unrivalled sunsets and breath taking views to enjoy whilst soaking up music from huge names from headliners and others including The Flaming Lips, The Vaccines, JP Cooper, Laura Mvula, Giggs, Loyle Carner, Daisy Clarke, A Blaze of Feather and many more. In what was Boardmasters biggest year to date, the music site at Watergate Bay increased in capacity from 45,000 to 50,000 welcoming more festivalgoers than ever before. Meanwhile, Fistral Beach saw record numbers descend to check out the very best in international surfing, which saw Boardmasters ambassadors Lucy Campbell and Luke Dillon battle it out against fellow pro surfers.

Deep in the Psychedelic Jungle of Sumatra…
No jerseys. No judging towers. No rules. Just raw surfing in ridiculous waves.
Young Guns brings surf competition back to its core. It started as a social media contest with over 1200 entrants and it ended with the world’s 7 best under 18 surfers coming together on a dream trip to Indonesia. There, in the Psychedelic Jungle of Sumatra, the Quiksilver Young Gun Final was held with a free-surfing format that judged airs, rails and combos. And guess what — somebody went home with $10K
Rob Machado and Todd Glaser could be the next big double act in surfing. Each them discuss J-Bays lefts, working together and Rob catching a rare rights. Very funny..
