Silver Linings | Episode 11

Silver Linings | Episode 11

For Jordy Smith, 2022 brought new levels of growth and an even deeper love for surfing. Balancing family, his career, and staying true to himself is at the forefront of his life and he's showing no signs of slowing down. Catch up with Jordy and keep your eye on him as we settle into 2023 because there's plenty more where this came from.

In his own words below.

There’s no such thing as an off season when the tour ends, the focus just shifts to hunting tubes. After a bad year on tour I needed to get some good waves to get my froth back. We put some miles on the cab and hit the coast with my friends and family. In the finals episode of Silver Linings we lose the rash guard and find some rare gems on the South African coast.  

Absent Without Leave, NZ

Absent Without Leave, NZ

Follow the ragtag Roark crew as they get lost and discover all of New Zealand's South Island. Scoring some of the best swell seen in decades, they brave the winter freeze camping out in old Defenders, chasing waves in bush planes, and having one helluva time while they're at it. God I miss NZ, take me back.

Mason Ho 2022 Highlights

Mason Ho 2022 Highlights

I love watching Mason Ho surf, in fact I probably love him, not in a weird stalker way, well, maybe a bit. The sultan of fun was on a tear in 2022, hit play for half an hour of pits punts and hacks, and a lesson in how to keep the fun in surfing.

Merry Kaliyuga

Merry Kaliyuga

Merry Kaliyuga is a surf film, inspired by the hinduist story of the Kali Yuga, in which Kalkin (an incarnation of the god Vishnu) appears to end a period of sin and darkness to usher in a new age.
The aim of this film was to use surfing as a medium to explore the striking duality between modernism and tradition in Morocco.

The Drop – Nias

The Drop – Nias

Without doubt still one of our most viewed social posts racking up over 109k and still going strong @mattbromleysurf gives us the lowdown of that drop at Nias.

In an excerpt from his film Over The Edge: speaking on one of his best moments in surfing, during the biggest swell to ever hit Nias, Indonesia. If I made it, I think this would have been the ride of my life... says Matt.

Baja Koala

Baja Koala

Kevin lives in Ensenada and is known for his skate inspired surf tricks. From fingerflips to shuvits, this koala has a pouch full of special tricks and watching him spill them out all over the playful faces of San Miguel is some of the funnest surf viewing possible.
