Everyone knows it’s only a matter of time before Lakey is at the top of the food chain, eating up titles and flying over everyone else on tour. We had a chance to talk Lakey about her life, the upcoming 2013 world tour and her new surf movie “Zero to 100.” More »

Interview with Bede Durbidge

Interview with Bede Durbidge
August 15th, 2012 by John Zanussi

My favorite thing about running a surf blog is being able to interview surfers and ask them the questions we want to ask. We recently had a chat with Bede Durbidge about the US Open of Surfing, the status of the ASP, his new surf movie #NoFilter, and some other randomness. On his way over to Tahiti for the Billabong Pro, Bede was kind enough to take the time to answer our questions.

Surfing And Sharks

Surfing And Sharks
May 3rd, 2012 by Samantha Rupert

All surfers have some kind of relationship or stigma with sharks. They are the mysteriously fascinating predators that swim beneath your feet when you’re waiting for a set, the creatures that can smell the blood from your reef rash from miles away and the animals that have a reputation for being brutal killers, when they are just misunderstood and horrifically portrayed. If you know anything about sharks, you know South Africa is the hot spot. In June, when the swell starts pumping, the sharks roll in, following the sardines on their migration. Only in South African waters can you see a 2-ton great white shark breach the surface in powerful fashion as it bombards its seal dinner. More »

“Fire And Water”: More Than a NY Surf Documentary

“Fire And Water”: More Than a NY Surf Documentary
April 11th, 2012 by Samantha Rupert

Rarely, there comes a time when I fall in love with a story—when I discover a story that is about more than surfing, more than news, more than money and more than just plain inspiration.  Instead, it’s a story about irrevocable passion and spirit of life. It’s about people making connections and overcoming life-threatening obstacles to put things into perspective and make life worth fighting for. It’s about fire and water. More »

Carissa Moore Talks Triple Crown and Hopes For Future
December 19th, 2011 by John Zanussi

This year was full of major controversies, complications, and scandal in the sport of surfing. Aside from the truth about Andy Irons’ death, the implementation of big-ticket tour events, and Kelly Slater’s premature crowning tritely referred to as “Title-gate,” surfing once again saw a steep decline in the appreciation and support of women’s surfing. But did anyone really notice? We did. More »

The Encyclopedia of Surfing Online

The Encyclopedia of Surfing Online
November 14th, 2011 by John Zanussi

When surfer, writer, and once editor of SURFER Magazine, Matt Warshaw wrote the Encyclopedia of Surfing in 2003, the internet was nowhere near what it is today so publishing it in book form made total sense – and that’s what he did. Jump almost ten years later to today and the physical book is becoming obsolete. The internet is huge and it’s become very easy for almost anyone to create and read all sorts of content online. Instead of letting the Encyclopedia of Surfing become just another dust collector on someone’s bookshelf, Matt has set out to totally digitize EOS and make it available on the web. With the help of the rest of the internet the project is in full swing and I was able to ask Matt some questions about the whole thing. More »
