Rip Curl European Hell Team

Rip Curl European Hell Team

After Maresias in Brazil last year, Bells beach in Australia earlier this year. 
This time the Rip Curl European Hell Team had a blast surfing and experiencing the pool of Waco in Texas. Groms lead by Kyllian Guerin (16,FR), were very lucky to surf Waco just for themselves for 3 days to practice their air games.

It has been a very improving experience for the entire team! We get enough time and waves each to practice our air game” said the junior French surfer. Matias Canhoto (12, PRT) and Enoha Le Pieres (12, FR) get used to understand their body positioning and landing position over the board.

After these 3 intense days, the crew moved back to California and especially Trestles to practice in the ocean what they learnt at Waco.

I felt way more confident in the sea after this 3 days spent in the pool. I'm not scared anymore to land huge air on flat." ends the Portuguese under 12 champion.

Here’s the recap of this amazing Hell Team Experience!

Toxic Point … Ephemeral waves in Italy with Roberto D’Amico.

Toxic Point … Ephemeral waves in Italy with Roberto D’Amico.


 
“Hey Roby! do you want to have some fun?” I heard exactly these words coming from behind me, while my friends and I were actually watching how much smaller the sea was than we expected after a six-hour drive. I turned around and I said hi! they said, we have a present for you, just follow us.
So I did, we jumped in the car, drove for about 10 minutes from where we were and we arrived at the wave. I was speechless, I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. The heavy rains created a spot in front of a river mouth, apparently, the water was TOXIC. it was there just for a few hours. The next morning it didn’t exist anymore.
Scoring good waves in Italy is very hard, but when it happens, take a deep breath and make the most of it, because it will not happen again anytime soon.
From the bottom of my heart, thanks to the locals for taking me there and sharing one of the best sessions of my life. THIS IS ITALY.

Sessions: Firing Pipeline

Sessions: Firing Pipeline

Filmmaker Ryan Moss takes us inside the firing lines during the first proper Pipe swell of the season. The Northern Hemisphere winter is without doubt the most exiting time on the surfing calendar. Whether it's crazy swells broadsiding Nazaré in Portugal, the twin world title showdowns taking place on Maui and Oahu, or the sheer lunacy of the Big Wave World Tour event at Jaws, one thing that's never lacking is powerful surf and the most prestigious wave on the planet is still Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.
