Koa Smith takes on night time river surfing at Waimea, enjoys a beach day surfing big, wild Waimea Bay and hanging out with @mylifeaseva , @CharlyJordanLife and friends. A river wave is created in fast flowing rivers or creeks, allowing a surfer to ride a wave for several minutes or more whilst standing stationary within the river. The force of the flow along an uneven river bed allows a standing wave to form, and the surfer to be able to ride the wave successfully. They are rare as local wave dynamics tend to be very specific. This river was caused by huge rain storms and flooding in Oahu, Hawaii.


What do you do when there aren't any waves? Make your own. Waimea Bay river dug out and the North Shore celebrates. 🚁 🎥 @jweaver808 https://www.FreesurfMagazine.com

MADEIRA ISLAND - THE JEWEL OF THE ATLANTIC



Madeira Island in Portugal is a beautiful surfing destination that has history of big wave surfing. Check out these videos to learn more about this unique spot... Let's get to it:


A big wave dreamland, Madeira Island is the Atlantic Ocean version of Hawaii. With consecutive obscenely glassy days and three equally barrel-thirsty surfers, what could go wrong on the final episode of Portugal Back-to-Back? Our host, Nic Von Rupp, along with invitees, Vasco Ribeiro and Martim Fortes, are in for some amazing surf on an island that totally justify the tag “Jewel of the Atlantic”.


In big days here in Madeira Island Portugal, not everyone adventure. But we have our locals here and friends that come every year for the challenge and to give a show. Like Felipe, Fred, Mealha, Twiggy, Joackim and others Enjoy this incredible day off the champs and always respect and support the locals when you are here.

GoPro: Waco Surf Trip & 20 Years of Capture, Innovation, + Community

 

GoPro has been around for 20 years and has long history that continues to push the limits of sports photography.  Check this out:


Texas isn't known for its surfing, but Waco Surf has changed the game. We travelled to Texas to put HERO11 Black Mini to the test with creative mounts + perfect POV clips. Mason Ho, Jamie O'Brien, Lakey Peterson, Shane Dorian, + Casey Neistat enjoyed a healthy helping of perfect barrels, airs, + shreddable sections. Whether you're a landlocked surfer, swell chaser, or a coastal local, don't count Texas out the next time you're looking for waves.

Two decades ago, the way we document our lives changed forever. What started as a wrist-mounted, film camera for surfers has evolved into an inspirational, global movement + force for positivity. This is the story of how GoPro was started.

Pipeline Masters .. How it Started and Where We Are Today

 

The Pipeline Masters has long history that continues to push the limits of surfing. Check out these videos to learn more about how Pipeline got its name and how this prestigious event got started and more. Plus check out the last few days of highlights from the Pipe Masters 2022! Let's get to it:


Pipeline Masters is the remarkable story of the groundbreaking surfing competition that has, since its inception in 1971, defined extreme. Held in the fearsome tubes of Hawaii's Banzai Pipeline, the Masters stands alone as the sport's most popular, prestigious competitive event. Because for over 35 years there has been only one surf contest where the winner earns more than money, more than fame or ratings point, but rather the surfing world's most coveted title: Pipeline Master. There's Gerry's Era, and Gerry's Army, the Free Ride Generation and the birth of backside tube riding, Simon Anderson's spectacular three-fin Thruster debut. There's Michael Ho's broken wrist wonder, Tom Carroll and The Snap, Sunny Garcia's Three Knockdowns. There's the Rise and Rise of Kelly Slater and the Frontdoor/Backdoor domination of the Irons Bros. Year after year of outrageous rides, bone-crushing wipeouts, nail-biting competition and the sort of drama that can only come when you pit the very best against the very worst: some of the most deadly, hairy, out-of-control waves ever seen. Pipeline Masters captures it all: the history, the action, the legends and lore-the soul-of the greatest surfing event ever.
