Some crazy rides from Tahiti, French Polynesia. The southern Pacific really put on a show for Nate Florence and crew. Days after this session the Teahupo’o valley was hit with devastating floods, the cleanup in the aftermath will be a long one, If you’d like to help the Teahupo’o community, you can donate below. Full respect to all the surfers and support teams out there, let's hope the local community get all the help they deserve.
It’s all about tracking swell and striking when the time is right, hoping the gamble pays off and the risk is worth the reward. Mofungo's power team consisted of Ian Crane, Brett Barley, and Puerto Rico's very own Dwight Pastrana. There's something to be said about exploring a region of the world that one of your very own call home. For Dwight, he got as much out of sharing his home with us as we did exploring it. We hope you enjoy.

Winter on the coast of Cornwall, UK, is cold, bleak and hostile but to British surfer, Barnaby Cox, this is the time of year to thrive. Barnaby spends his winter days seeking out powerful swells, relishing this quiet time, off season, when most find themselves in hibernation.
Barnaby and his friend and filmmaker, Charlie Key, explore the Cornish coast around their hometown of Bude and beyond, looking for pockets of joy hidden between the dark clouds of winter.

Northern Rights is a short film filmed and edited by Malcolm Anderson that features my surfing over the past winter months this year. Mal is a total master behind the lens and all round legend. My surfing honestly wouldn't be where it is today without him and for that I am very grateful - Phoebe Strachan.
