Connect 4: LA, Byron Bay, Bali, and Puerto Escondido ....

 

What do LA, Byron Bay, Bali, and Puerto Escondido all have in common? That's right SURF! Let's check out what's been going on recently in these key spots... Check it out:



New swell brings pure CHAOS with it to El Porto beach. The good news... a mediocre swell finally hit. The bad: everyone was jonesing for waves and paddled out together. Thanks for watching! I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.


I went down the Pass to film the surf for the Easter weekend and what did I come across, TOTAL CARNAGE. It was so crowded, the surfers were agitated, so there were drop-ins and accidents everywhere. To be honest I am surprised nobody got seriously hurt. Lots of people were watching from the rock where I was filming just for the entertainment factor of how dangerous it was. This break usually gets really crowded anyway, but add the Easter tourist and this place is total mayhem! Happy Surfing ForThoseWhoSurf Channel


We were fortunate enough to return to Bali a day before the biggest swell of the year slammed into the Indonesian archipelago. A small group of chargers took on this heavy righthand slab, with plenty of carnage and glory during the morning session.

Mark Healy, Francisco Porcella, Pedro Calado, Lapo Coutinho and more cheat death with these extreme big wave wipeouts at MexPipe on the biggest swell ever ridden at Puerto Escondido, Mexico, and ask them how they survived INSANITY AT PUERTO. As dangerous as a car crash, more deadly than a train wreck, more risky than a head on collision, these thrill seekers layed their lives on the line at Playa Zicatela, Oaxaca for the ultimate daredevils prize: survival. The elite big wave spots Nazare, Jaws, Mavericks, Waimea Bay, Cortez Bank, Todos Santos, Teahupoo, Cloudbreak, Ghost Trees, Pipeline and Kanagawa all have a channel...Puerto Escondido does not, making these heroic chargers accomplishments that much more amazing.

North Devon Joins 11 World Surfing Reserves

 


North Devon joins 11 world surfing reserves! Check out more about this amazing surf spot here! 


A few nice waves shot at Croyde Bay, Devon, in December 2018


Kevin “Cookie” Cook is a North Devon institution. In addition to being one of the area’s earliest, most dedicated surfers, he’s also a mainstay of the UK surf scene, the chairman of trustees at the Museum of British Surfing in Braunton, and a co-founder of the North Devon World Surfing Reserve. The Museum is a treasure trove of surfing folklore and memorabilia, as indeed is Cookie himself. As part of our series on North Devon and its newly acquired World Surfing Reserve status, we wanted to pay him a visit. Adam Hall, Surfdome's Head of Sustainability, dropped by to for a chat about the early years and surfing’s place in the local culture. Film by Pete Cox. https://www.museumofbritishsurfing.or... https://www.northdevonsurfreserve.org/ https://www.surfdome.com/


This is my last video from my recent trip to Devon, I think I might have to make it an annual thing (if not more) where I find a new spot to visit. I just wish I went sooner! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trippingcor...


weekend down at Croyde bay and putsborough surfing POV footage


This is my first attempt of filming surfers from the drone. Please excuse the jerky nature of the whole thing and the back light. I can't position the sun quite perfectly, and using my own drone didn't want to loose it in the sea, as almost taken out by a seagull. If our in the video enjoy as I enjoyed the filming.


Plastic waste is a standard feature at almost every beach in the world these days, and the beaches of North Devon are no exception. We asked Claire Moodie, the energy and driving force behind the organisation Plastic Free North Devon, where it all comes from and how we might start to think about getting rid of it. She went for a litter-pick and a stroll with Surfdome’s head of sustainability, Adam Hall, on Croyde Bay, where they also discussed the significance of North Devon’s new World Surfing Reserve status.
