The 8th of February, we had the gnarliest conditions for those who like to take risks, one of the most intense sessions these past few years.
These waves in the north of Hossegor look perfect but on this day with the strong currents and lots of moving water made it challenging even for the jet ski's. We salute the surfers and all those out that day.
Surfers : Marc Lacomare, Benjamin Sanchis, Miky Picon,PV Laborde, PL Laborde, Leo Havion,Louis Poupinel, Remi Arauzo, Thomas Tribout, Guillaume Mangiarotti
An edit filmed on the North Shore of Oahu during the month of January also featuring Matahi Drollet. Check out Barron’s insane section in the latest Snapt4 if you've missed it, it’s fair to say the young Hawaiian is blowing the doors off right now, keep your eyes peeled for more.
In November of 2021, after a stint in Europe, surfing’s first Olympic gold medalist Italo Ferreira made good on his promise to visit fellow Billabong team rider Cherif Fall in Dakar, Senegal. Also joined by up-and-coming South African talent Joshe Faulkner, they found a thriving surf community that rivals anywhere in the world. A stretch of coast full of fun surf, deep talent and infectious positive energy. This film explores their experience in West Africa and the eternal bonds these three share as the faces of hope and pride in their respective communities.
In the last week we watched a young grom (Mr Slater approaching 50) take the Billabong Pipe Pro. Well take a look at the drone footage of Michael Ho threading backdoor at a mere 64 years young, if we've learnt anything over the last week, it's surfing is the best anti-aging product out there.
