Game of Kook … Beyrick de Vries vs Shane Sykes

Game of Kook … Beyrick de Vries vs Shane Sykes

 

There are three words that should be a surfer’s mantra: Surfing is fun. If you’re not having fun then what the heck are you doing? In the spirit of all things fun  #GameOfKook is here. A welcome antidote to the sometimes ‘why so serious?’ side of surf culture. The concept is explained below. We’ve seen a bunch of the eps and they’re a right giggle.
We’re all familiar with a Game of SKATE, but a Game of KOOK? What’s that you ask?
Well as Mr Beyrick De Vries states – “basically like SKATE, but in the ocean.” 
A high vibes fun-filled session of fresh challenges. But nobody wants to be a KOOK right?
 
To keep the flow going the following are the ‘official’ rules of  Game of KOOK:
 
– Two surfers take each other on.
– A game of rock, paper, scissors determines who sets the first challenge.
– The next person sets the next trick.
– If you fail to do the challenge you get a letter.
– If you both fail then you both get a letter.
– If you both achieve the challenge then whoever does the weakest / lamest attempt gets the letter.
– Only 2 attempts per challenge.
– If it’s a tie break on the final ‘K’, the first person to complete the trick is the winner.
– First person to K.O.O.K is the loser
 
 
Series 1 includes Beyrick De Vries, William Aliotti, Luis Diaz, Mat Bromley, Gearoid McDaid, Maud Le Car, Shane Sykes, Louie Hynd, Clare Gaya, Sean Payne.

Pre Christmas Punts With Skim Master Brad Domke

Right before Christmas this year a fun week of solid swell hit the entire California coast. Domke was frothing to test out some new equipment. Mainly sessioned at there go-to spot for these types of swells, running into the famous Sugar The Surfing Dog and watching her and owner Ryan send it in the shorebreak. Enjoy!

Jesse Mendes – Intra Mentis

When someone qualifies for the WSL Championship Tour, they often disappear from the free surf scene.

You get to see them at CT events and CT events only. No big trips with media. No fresh blasts of content on the Gram. No new clips. Just heats, heats and more heats.

But that ain’t the case for Jesse Mendes.

He’s been tearing all over the world between the events. Here’s an edit called Intra Mentis, featuring the surfing he’s been doing outside of the comp jersey. Isn’t it sparky? We’d say so.
