Tower at Teahupo’o
Following the ISA’s statement on December 5th, 2023, the French Polynesian Government decided to move forward with a lighter and less impactful version of the judging tower in Teahupo’o.
Marine surveys of the location and a construction test are being conducted in the upcoming days. Until the outcome of those tests are complete, the ISA reserves any further comment.
The ISA is responsible for the Olympic surfing competitions. All decisions on infrastructure are the responsibility of the French Polynesian Government and the Paris 2024 Organising Committee.
The ISA will continue to advocate for an environmentally sustainable solution.
Vacuum – A lo-fi surf film by Kai Neville
‘Vacuum’ the latest visual portrait from director Kai Neville, offers a captivating visual collage of the Epokhe surf team. Collected from various locations around the globe, these clips provide a kaleidoscopic depiction of their world. Shot primarily around beloved home breaks, the film captures iconic footage of the team in action. While showcasing familiar faces, the film also introduces fresh talent, punctuated by a reverent tribute to the previously unseen archives of OCCY, thoughtfully curated by Jack McCoy. ‘Vacuum’ is a sensory banquet of surf action.
Palm Springs Pool Party
Thanks to Kalani Robb and Cheyne Magnusson, we had the opportunity of a lifetime to ride some of the first waves being tested at the Palm Springs Surf Club. The lineup of surfers in the pool included Italo Ferriera, Parker Coffin, Jackson Dorian, Sierra Kerr, Josh Kerr, Caity Simmers, and many more heavy hitters. One of the most stacked lineups that I have ever had the honour sitting amongst. This day of surfing in a state of the art wavepool will be forever engrained in my memory and a huge inspiration for my future in wave riding. @blairconklin
