Adrian Fernandez de Valderrama is a 17 year old surfer from Spain. He just made this recap of his 2014. Turns out he had a pretty amazing year travelling to places like Namibia and Panama to name a few…What you doing in 2015? We want to do what he just done!
Depressing dreary gloom and rain outside? Lose yourself in Indo with Josh Moniz, Seth Moniz, Isaiah Moniz, Benji Brand and Kaulana Apo. On their first 10 day trip last year. Reckon they did okay?!?

The GoPro is the most popular camera in the world. As evidenced by the best of the web compilation for 2014 (currently north of 5 mill views posted at bottom of this post) which features footage from the pint sized wonder in a myriad of situations. But the guys that made the GoPro are surfers and that was the original inspiration for it.
So it’s fitting that surfing still delivers some of the most jaw dropping moments. Here’s a brace from Jamie O’Brien with the tortuous “job” of surfing out front of his house on the North Shore. Hooking up perfectly with one of the flippered folk known as water photographers and, err, taking the biggest SUP we’ve ever seen for a spin in rather large surf.
Patrick Beven and Aldric God and a fun recent session down Hoss’ way.
Reubyn Ash. Indo. Three words that guarantee visual pleasure.
Pro surfers with a heavy competition schedule use their free time to relax at home, or travel and discover new places.
Featured here is Marc Lacomare, gambling with Mama Nature to find waves in Nicaragua, before heading to California to compete at the US Open of surfing.
On his journeys around the world he has the privilege to experience local culture, and one day, looking for food, some music and screams attracted our curiosity that led us to witness the wild world of underground cockfights…
