When Europe lights up, there aren’t many better place to be. Miguel Blanco and myself tracked down a forgotten about Atlantic jewel alongside local surfer Manuel Lescano and Franito Saenz. Crystal clear eight-foot tubes was the result of two sessions in Europe’s most locked down wave… Nic von Rupp.
A short film Jobe Harriss and Piran John Miller shot throughout the winter of 2017-18.
We scored a couple of days, and it seemed like too good an opportunity to waste. We decided to use the footage for something rather than just release them as raws. We settled on ‘Mor’ the Cornish word for Sea/ocean. Plays quite nicely, as we were always after ‘more’ dream sessions… Piran
Toledo lands massive air for the first 10-point ride in Round 4 of the Oi Rio Pro. So the commentators are saying it's the biggest air of the comp so far, quite frankly he's in orbit and travelling such a distance that it's the biggest air we've seen for a long time, landing smoother than a crooner. Go Toledo, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.
Book a flight. Pack a bag. Put your head down and go — a proper strike mission allows no time for hesitation. When Aritz Aranburu and Leonardo Fioravanti saw a swell lining up for a slab in Ireland a few weeks ago, they wasted no time in pulling the trigger. Their decision resulted in a scramble of last-minute flights, all-night drives, a three-hour night of sleep and, finally, some of the best waves of their lives. Yep, it was worth it.

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.
