Griffin Colapinto & Conner Coffin’s Surf Ranch sesh…


 
Griffin Colapinto and Conner Coffin and one of the most high performance clips we’ve seen so far from Kelly’s Water Feature.

The WSL Founders Cup runs this weekend so we’ll get a sense of how the joint plays for a contest and whether the lack of paddle battles, buzzer beaters and shark scares makes a difference. One things for sure the webcast padding between waves is going to be painful unless they really go to town commentary team wise.
 

Soupbowl

There is a reason SoupBowl is one the favourite waves of surfers like Kelly and Russell Winter. When is turns on it goes absolutely nuts, as Willy Aliotti found out in March.

Misery Loves Company … Gearoid McDaid.

 

 
Chasing swells is not a easy task around the Atlantic. Short winter days, long drives, the cold, the wet, the wind make the chase even harder. Put simply, it’s miserable. Generally conditions only become favourable for a short time and this is when the opportunist gets his reward. Follow Gearoid McDaid through his winter and watch as he reaps his rewards.

Mick Fanning gets animated…

3x world champion Mick Fanning surfed his last heat on surfing’s world tour last week. As a tribute to the surfing legend, Red Bull has released an exclusive animation, documenting Mick Fanning’s incredible life. Told through the voice of Mick Fanning, the animation follows the surfing legend’s journey to the top and reveals what’s in store for his next chapter. Mick Fanning, winner of 3 world titles and a staggering 22 championship tour events, surfed through round after round of nail-biting competition at the Rip Curl Pro to make the final of his last-ever contest as a member of surfing’s Championship Tour last week. Mick hoisted his maiden Dream Tour trophy at Bells Beach back in 2001 when, as an 18-year-old wildcard, he defeated Danny Wills to ring his first Bells trophy. Seventeen years on he came oh-so-close to ringing the Bell for a record-breaking fifth time, but was pipped at the final post by rampaging Brazilian superstar Italo Ferreira. As for what’s next for Mick, it’s no surprise to anyone that he is going to continue surfing. As we speak he’s already thinking about packing his bags for his inaugural strike mission as a free surfer. But the main goal for Mick is one that he has been working on for a while, and that is to be a better person, a reliable a friend, a loving and brother, and raise awareness of the challenges facing our environment.
