Nic von Rupp: My Road // Three Deserts

Nic Von Rupp brings you episode three of his classy My Road series. Whether he had three desserts in each of the three deserts remains to be seen.

Coming home from Hawaii on Christmas Day, a storm in the North Atlantic announces the arrival of a swell of perfect conditions, without reservations Nic departs towards one of the most appealing deserts for surfers worldwide.

In the third episode of My Road Series we travelled to three different continents chasing very different waves, each representing a different surfing community. From the long barrels of North Africa, to the lava deserts of the mid-Atlantic, ending in the wild west of Australia.

Kai Neville Director Reel…

Classy visuals from the guy that the top pros would chew their own arms off to get a section with…

Admittedly that would be a bit self-defeating obvs.

Dane Reynolds…

Dane Reynolds. Don’t need to add much else do we? Perfect mellow Friday fare.

Tail Fin Trials…

Trevor Gordon worked with shaper Ryan Lovelace to create four weird iterations of a finless surfboard. With nothing but curiosity and intuition guiding them, the boards were made with radical asymmetrical lines coming to a pointed tail on the toe side. The following is a showcase of Trevor’s trials with each board.

The Right?!

Surf edits are best when shot with love and edited with same. First isn’t always best. So it’s with great pleasure we share this from Red Bull and Tim Boynthon. A gent that’s been in the filming game longer than lots of you have been alive, remember the Hawaii-Nine-…. series? Yep. That he. Well he’s still kicking ass and is the guy on the spot for those epic Shippies and Right sessions. Enjoy his mesmerising work chronicling some guys that seem to be immortal. Some of these wipeouts are off the scale.
