Firstly we don’t condone dropping in or burning anyone, it’s very naughty, but if you do, say sorry, then why not share a barrel with them, check out this epic 3 man barrel, it’s fun to share, right? This controversial move happened on an epic session at Roka Puta, Basque Country. Three surfers riding a barreling XL bomb at the same time.
Nathan Florence takes you behind the scenes at the recent epic Jaws Big Wave Champs. Follow the preparation both mental and physical as they fine tune up to the start of the event. 20mins in the action drops and the beast awakes, crazy footage, insane waves, insane people, we salute you.
Gwen Spurlock has been there done that. Won everything there is to win in Britain and travelled all over. Now she’s helping spread the stoke to the next generation:
‘Over the last 5 months, I have had the pleasure of coaching / mentoring this group of young girls with the @thehowpeople. It brings a real smile to my face to see the amount of joy surfing gives them. Thank you @polly_crook and @bendylegsjo for being the best team to work with. I feel really lucky to be developing HOW Surf with the both of you. A massive thank you to @britishsurfing for getting behind this movement of empowering young girls through surfing. Lots of appreciation to @welshsurfing_ @surfschoolwsf. Lucy @therighttoroamfilms thank you so much for this piece – #HOWFamily. #ThisGirlCan #SupportingGrassroots
Friday 13th December, ominous for some. When the shark spotters alarm goes off and you actually see the shark, yay, fun times, especially if you’re a shark. The Shark Spotters did an amazing job spotting the sharks in the bay. This one cruising appears to be a bronze whaler.
Western Australia is rich in resources and to local surfers the most valuable of them is found where the desert meets the sea. Filmmaker Kim Feast's latest Taking Off edit dives deep into this special zone.
Coming up in Carve issue 200 (epic cover preview on the socials, out next week) we've got the gals trip to Portugal. We had to dodge the rain and wind for the five days we were there but we got some fun waves and had a right laugh. These are the moving pictures to go with the story in the magazine. Short version Tegan and Bonnie are groms and they got to train and hang with our QS ladies Peony and Lucy along with coach extraordinaire Joel Gray.
