The recent run of swell did not disappoint in the South West. Newquay lit up, and some of the UK's best were there to have their fill. Shot by the Colab studio crew over a couple of days in and around Newquay, Cornwall. Spot any familiar faces?
Featuring: Luke Dillon, Russell Winter, Logan Nicol, Josie Hawke, Eli Perrins-Davies, Jago Tasker, Teagan Blackford and more.
Enigmatic big wave surfer Tom Lowe has followed his own path from the heart of Penwith, Cornwall to surfing’s highest level through grit and determination – with a little help from his friends.
Cutting his teeth in Ireland and pioneering waves like Rileys and paddling Mullaghmore with a small group of surfers, Tom found meaning in pushing himself to the limit, and sometimes beyond. Ground breaking films like “Powers of Three” (2009) , “Revolution” (2008) made with friends Mikey Smith and Feral Smith cover mounted on Carve lay testament to the drive and the dream.
In 2023, Tom hit the reef hard at Teahupo’o and sustained critical injuries. “After surgery, lung treatment and a blood transfusion due to internal bleeding, a broken scapula, and many broken ribs, I truly do feel lucky to have made it,” he said.
Featuring the likes of Fergal Smith and renowned, multi-faceted creative Mickey Smith, this film is as much an exploration of community and kinship as it is about Tom.

After a 2-hour hike in complete darkness, I arrived at one of the most remote and terrifying slabs on the planet — Shipstern Bluff, Tasmania. This was my first time setting foot in Tasmania, and my first time flying the drone over this infamous wave.
What unfolded was a raw winter session with some of the heaviest drops, step-offs, and mutant ledges I've ever witnessed. Captured entirely from above, this 6-minute+ drone reel showcases the raw power and beauty of Shipsterns, with surfers charging one of worlds wildest waves.
