Mason Ho and his good friend Baby Bear kick off their session at a fun, rocky surf spot. The duo trade waves, laughs and good vibes along the way. After making the most of the conditions there, they head over to tiny Backdoor, where they join friends for a few more rides…
The Passenger 2 beautifully captures the journey of surfer Miguel Blanco, presenting surfing not just as a sport but as an art form that embodies the ultimate harmony between human creativity and the raw forces of nature. Through his profound belief in the power and majesty of the natural world.
From Hawaii to Madeira, Mavericks to Todos Santos, Blanco surfs some of the most iconic big waves around the globe. Each destination brings its own set of challenges and rewards, reminding us all of the vastness and unpredictability of the ocean.
“The Passenger 2” begins and concludes in Portugal, where Blanco reconnects with his roots. The familiar landscapes of his homeland serve as a source of strength and inspiration, fuelling his determination to tackle pressing global issues such as climate change, political upheaval, and environmental crises. This connection to his home environment is always a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural surroundings.

On the way back home from a trip to northern Scotland, I stopped by the brand-new Lost Shore Surf Resort. The UK’s newest and Scotland’s first wave pool. We did a couple of sessions on the ‘Barrel’ setting and it’s safe to say we had a blast doing so. For anyone planning a surf trip to Europe, I’d highly recommend stopping in, whether it be for tubes, turns or just checking the place out… @danharmon
Being thrown into the unknown can feel like a nightmare. But what if the unknown turns out to be fun? This is the story of a rare moment when the rules of surfing in Portugal are completely upended.
Southern swells are a rare phenomenon—just a handful appear each year. When surfers spot one on the horizon, it sparks an undeniable excitement. It’s a break from the norm. Our coastline is designed for northern swells, so encountering something different feels like tackling a math test after prepping for Portuguese—but with far less panic and way more curiosity.
So, what happens to surfing when the familiar sea transforms into something entirely unexpected?
That’s what we set out to discover.

G Man takes us on a quick 1hr pov surf , surfing in below freezing conditions.
“Winter has finally come. The first day of freezing temperatures made going surfing a bit more difficult this day but surfing a perfect slab with just one friend out made it a whole lot better.”
A short film about 73 year young surfer Eric Davies. Eric has won multiple surfing titles across multiple decades, battled cancer and is a great example of how 70 is the new 30… Maybe 40… with more and more surfers staying fit, stoked and ripping into retirement!
Filmed in North Devon by Tom Bowman it recently won ‘Shortie of the Year’ at London Surf Film Festival 2024.
