This is Wedge anthology of all the RAW footage from 2021! Surfers, bodyboarders, skimboarders and bodysurfers all going for it at one of the most intriguing waves ever. This vid organised into chapters for the different months featuring The Wedge and Cylinders.
Arbor is proud to announce its first two pro models with Greyson Fletcher, with the release of Leave Blood. The new edit, filmed in Greyson’s studio, and at his local San Clemente Skatepark, highlights Greyson’s skills as both a skateboarder and an artist.
Arbor's mission is to reduce the impact that producing skateboards and snowboards has on the planet. For decades now, this effort has been shaped by both the athletes and artists the Brand works with. These distinct collaborators define performance, progression, message, light, and colour for the Brand, as it works to deliver sustainability year-in, and year-out.
Every once in a while, an individual comes into the Arbor family who excels at both art and skateboarding. Greyson is just such a person, and the Brand is stoked to highlight both his raw, powerful skateboarding and deeply personal art in this film. Those passions made these new models possible - the first ever Greyson Fletcher shapes to feature his artwork.

Jamie O'Brien has spent more time surfing Pipeline than the average person has spent watching television. Given that Pipe more-or-less is Jamie's living room this kinda makes sense. Kinda. Jamie has put the hard yards in at the North Shore's holy grail, and his reflexive surfing at the Banzai is a clear reflection of the hours he has spent in the water, a stone's throw from his balcony, or lanai, for anyone who's been to Hawaii.
Repetition can however bring boredom, and while most surfers might consider surfing a different wave or enjoying a well-earned lay day, Jamie has found the best way to tame the *tedium* of seven-outta-ten Pipeline lies in a few extra inches and a whole lot more foam... enter the soft-top!
In the latest instalment of Following, join Jamie as he test drives a few of his foamie favourites at Pipeline and beyond, fully proving that the man is capable of riding just about anything at one of the craziest waves on the planet. Sit back, get the popcorn going and enjoy the latest episode of Following.
Moroccan magic in full effect as Noa Mizuno takes full advantage of the perfect points that rifle down its coast. Click into the pits, and mind surf your way through some dredging Moroccan pits.
Finally back in the land of plenty. After two years of been locked in Australia I got the green pass to travel again. So as I treat Nazaré in Portugal as my second home I got the fastest flight over here. So week one was epic. Literally some of the best big wave paddle sessions i have got to shoot here at the home of the biggest ridable waves. 3 X time WORLD BIG WAVE Champion Grant 'Twiggy' Baker set the pace with some all-time rides.

The Search through the Indonesian archipelago is a ‘right-of-passage’ of sorts for most aspiring professional surfers. Multiple regions, full of diverse waves, empty blue canvases, perfect for honing in on any skill set. Big barrels, long lefts, air waves… Indo truly has it all.
However, most the waves, while seemingly dreamy and inviting, have dire consequences. Shallow reefs, sketchy paddle-outs, dry end sections, the list goes on. Any surfer that’s paddled these lineups while pumping, knows the result of hesitation. While easier said than done, there is no room for a lack of commitment here.
When Erin Brooks booked her Indo jaunt last season, she had no idea the forecast that lay ahead. Perfect Kandui, magical Mentawai’s and a handful of idyllic Indo lineup were awaiting her arrival.
While Erin has surfed heavy waves all over the world, most notably around her home of Hawaii, there aren’t many waves that prep you for Indo. You just have to go. And go Erin did.
