A very large swell hit the Canary Islands on January 28, 2017, and in northern Tenerife a group of surfers attacked some of the biggest waves of the year on the north coast.
Respect and admiration to the brave ones that dare ride these enormous waves and to the back up team behind them.

13-year old British grom Stanley Norman kicked off the year with some quality waves down in Portugal. A spell of warmer water and sunny days is always a welcome mid winter break from the hoods, gloves and rain of his hometown of Bude in Cornwall
“We had really fun waves and surfed a lot. We stayed with Nic Von Rupp and it was great to surf with him too. Apart from the waves my favourite thing about Portugal is probably the food – yeah those little custard tart things are brilliant.”

Any John John video will get you clicking. The last installment of 12 is no different. Featuring ‘that’ air from this winter in Hawaii and a look at what the champs been up to.
Filipe Toledo and a lil slice of high performance surfboard riding. Full rotes are the call these days…
These days was filmed in Hawaii in between the end of November and December 2016. The action footage demands a simple and intense song, just like Filipe’s free surfs. As Tony Wilson already said, Joy Division played music because they needed it. And watching this clip it seems that Filipe just needs to surf higher, faster and bigger.
When Gerry Lopez first surfed Uluwatu in 1974, the fabled Balinese wave was magical, empty and pristine. Gerry returned to Uluwatu 40 years later to find it bustling, developed and profoundly changed. After a week of surfing and yoga, however, Gerry tapped into a spirit of place that continues to endure.
In recent years, booming popularity has placed huge environmental pressure on the Uluwatu area. Project Clean Uluwatu is working to ease this pressure and restore the area’s pristine nature. Please donate to help keep this iconic place sacred and intact for locals and visitors alike: pat.ag/Uluwatu
