What a year. 2022 was packed to the gills with everything the surfing world has to offer. Whether it be seemingly endless historic Teahupoo swells, world title chases or just good ole' free surfing, 2022 surely had a taste of it all.
Not only did Teahupoo fire on all cylinders multiple times this year, but the WSL world tour stop featured nothing more than a spectacle, with local wild card Kauli Vaast securing his spot in the final heat. We can't forget moments from Kolohe Andino in New York, Leo Fioravanti at home in Italy or the rise of women's surfing phenom Caity Simmers qualifying for the 2023 tour.
We can keep rambling on, but we think the video speaks for itself. Toss that popcorn in the microwave and settle in for the wild ride that was the Best of Surf in 2022.

10 Hours Of Bioluminescent Waves + Ocean Sounds From Monterey Bay To Chill/Relax/Study/Work To
Fill your day with 10 hours of relaxing ocean sounds from the California coast paired with scintillating bioluminescent waves crashing on the beach here in Monterey Bay. May this video blue your mind and bless your screens as you study, work, or relax as billions upon billions of dinoflagellate plant-plankton setting off their underwater fireworks.
This is a looping montage made from footage shot of a bioluminescent dinoflagellate phytoplankton bloom that occurred throughout the Monterey Bay in August of 2020. We're still not sure which species was responsible—likely Polykrikos sp. amid the much larger bloom of Akashiwo sanguinea.
