2 Surf Stories From 2 Very Different Locations



 Here are two stories from 2 very different locations worth checking out...


Sure it's cold out, but you can't beat the crowd (because there isn't anyone one else there... ever!)... check out this surf adventure by Ben Weiland...


Watch the SurferTV Documentary, Coldwater Journal, as it follows surfer and filmmaker, Ben Weiland's, decade-long obsession with exploring the most frigid, desolate and starkly beautiful coastlines on the planet in search of perfect waves and high adventure.


This could be a dream come true for many surfers.... but do you have teh resillance to overcome the challenges faced by Torren and Aiyana?


When Torren Martyn and Aiyana Powell borrowed the 35ft sailing boat 'Calypte' and departed from the east coast of Thailand in early 2022, they had a combined sailing experience of only a few days. The one requirement of their charter was to eventually deliver the boat to Eastern Indonesia. They could learn as they went, get a few friends with sailing experience to help through the tricky bits and pick up as much as possible from them along the way. With this plan, the pair embarked onto the South China Sea, headed up through the Strait of Malacca and around the tip of Sumatra; out into the Indian Ocean on a year-long expedition in search of waves. What seemed like an idyllic journey didn’t come easy. It was difficult to anticipate the challenges of the sleepless nights, the endless rolling and tossing of the boat, the breakdowns, the relentless maintenance and confined space. But adventures always seem sweeter if it really feels like you had to work to get there. A film by Ishka Folkwell & Torren Martyn - Produced by needessentials

Longboarding, the best to the beginner (you know what I mean)

 

I really miss longboarding and I definitely need to make more plans to get healthy and get back in the water this year. Here are a few videos to get you and me motived to get back out there... check it out: 





This video is all about the best of California soul surfing over the last two years. Most of the footage can be seen in the NobodySurf Originals series that I made for them. This is a unique collaboration with Jitzuwa Finder, who makes custom soundtracks for NobodySurf Originals. Also, I added footage that never made it to the series to come up with something new and exciting. - Supported by - NobodySurf (@nobody_surf) - Surfers - Erin Ashley (@wormtown) Ryan Burch (@bobbersandsinkers) Lauren Canavan (@laurenkatecanavan) Brooke Carlson (@brookiebu) River Covey (@rivercovey) Derrick Disney (@gado_gadooo) Zack Flores (@zack_floress) Devon Howard (@devon_howard) Rob Machado (@rob_machado) Kassia Meador (@kassiasurf) Nick Melanson (@nickmelanson) Barrett Miller (@barrettmiller_) Hallie Rohr (@haalliiee) Karina Rozunko (@karinarozunko) Mele Saili (@mele_saili) Jen Smith (@jensmithofaloha) Makala Smith (@shredsista) Joel Tudor (@joeljitsu) Tosh Tudor (@toshtudor) J.J.

"What size longboard should I get?" A question i'm asked all the time and it's a tough one to answer. After doing this comparison my eyes have been opened to a few different ideas that I never considered. Hope this helps! Both boards are a COS Chingona. One is 9' and one is 9'6".
