Wave Cycle

Wave Cycle

‘Wave Cycle’ is a sustainable plastic furniture range made from recycled surf and bodyboards. It is estimated that every year 16,000 cheap, polystyrene bodyboards are abandoned on UK beaches often after a single use. The design and manufacturing process is committed to supporting and celebrating environmentalism within the surfing industry. This process also provides a recycling solution to the waste within short life polystyrene packaging foam. Through taking a short life material and increasing the longevity in the form of a long-life piece of furniture that is part of a circular manufacturing system, it highlights innovation.

Breaking Waves: Queer Surf

Welcome to Breaking Waves, a series shining a light on often overlooked and polarising social issues and topics within surfing. In this inaugural episode, Vans pro surfer and Weird Waves host Dylan Graves explores the stereotypical perceptions that often exist within surf culture, as he seeks to learn more about the LGBTQ+ surf community and understand how surfers can become better allies. Follow along on Dylan’s journey as he links up with San Francisco’s Queer Surf—an organisation advocating to create safe spaces at the beach and in the water— and explores how to make surfing more welcoming to everyone.

Following in the steps of his self-titled debut solo album ‘McCartney’, featuring Paul playing every instrument and writing and recording every song, Paul McCartney releases ‘McCartney III.’ Paul hadn’t planned to release an album in 2020, but in the isolation of “Rockdown,” he soon found himself fleshing out some existing musical sketches and writing even more new ones.

 

I know there must be other ways
Of feeling free
But this is what I wanna do
Who I wanna be

And every time I try
I feel like I can fly
But I know that I can
Die trying

Chorus
I’m slidin’
Gliding through the air
I can see my body through
Windows in my hair
I’m slidin’
Gliding through the air

I know nobody’s dancing here
But us dragonflies
We’re the only ones awake
We own the skies

And every time I try
I feel like I can fly
But I know that I can
Die trying

[Repeat chorus]

[Repeat chorus]
I can feel my body burn
Slidin’ through the air

100 Foot Wave

100 Foot Wave

HBO has released the official teaser for 100 FOOT WAVE ahead of the documentary series premiere on JULY 18. Directed and executive produced by award-winning filmmaker Chris Smith and executive produced by Emmy® and Golden Globe®-winner Joe Lewis, the six-part HBO Sports Documentary series 100 FOOT WAVE intimately captures the decade-long odyssey of surfing pioneer Garrett McNamara, who, after visiting Nazaré, Portugal in hopes of conquering a 100-foot wave, pushed the sport to ever-greater heights and alongside locals helped transform the small fishing village into the world’s preeminent big-wave surfing destination.

The six-episode series captures the common spirit and fearless passion shared by McNamara and big-wave surfers from across the world as they push themselves through life-altering injuries and tantalizing near-misses in their collective pursuit of the inconceivable. Spanning four continents, 100 FOOT WAVE is an inspirational story of a group of people on a quest to achieve new heights, and a town and a sport that were forever changed by one seemingly impossible dream.
