3 days ago | surfer.com | August Howell

Surfers, skaters and BMXers are going huge for the second-ever Swatch Nines Surf. And 18-year-old Hughie Vaughan is blowing up. Before most people could buzz from their morning coffee, 18-year-old Hughie Vaughan was bouncing off the walls. Yesterday, the 18-year-old Australian, fresh off winning Stab High Japan and entering the 2025 Swatch Nines at the 11th hour, paddled out for the first session of the day and landed one of the most inverted, off-axis airs ever seen in Waco’s famed wave pool.

The three-event Cosmic Shores tour looks to bring peace, love and single-fins to New Jersey this summer. “Rumor around town says you might be thinkin’ ’bout goin’ down to the shore.”“Uh, yeah, I think I’m gonna go down to the shore.”“What ya gonna do down there?”If your answer is play some video games and buy some Def Leppard T-shirts you need to stop listening to the Dead Milkmen’s seminal “Bitchin’ Camero” for a second and get hip to Vissla’s Cosmic Shore tour coming to New Jersey in July.

The Championship Tour heads to Brazil for the Vivo Rio Pro; who’s looking good? Coming in hot on the heels of a high performance event at Trestles, the 2025 WSL World Championship Tour now sets its sights on South America – specifically the beachbreaks of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Chapter 11 Dusts Off Rob Machado's Channel Islands Surfboard

1 week ago | surfer.com | August Howell

Eithan Osborne and Matt McCabe try the MTF from Ventura to Rincon. Something started when the Chapter 11 crew drove north up 101 and raided the Channel Islands factory a few years back. Maybe “Out of the Rafters” sparked a timeless theme in surfing — that yellowed boards are still worth riding. Even if they look a bit odd at first glance. “It’s not like a fish at all,” Dane Reynolds said of this obscure model called the MTF.
Wipeout of the Year? This Jaws Slam Is a Top Contender

1 week ago | surfer.com | August Howell

Maui charger Ty Simpson-Kane went viral for this Jaws slam. But it wasn’t the only wave he caught that day. Every so often, a video comes across one’s social feed and pulls the e-brake. Be it an improbable tube, a gravity-defying air or a jaw-dropping wipeout, some moments are meant to be underscored and highlighted in bold. That’s what happened when 21-year-old Ty Simpson-Kane of Kuau, Maui, went viral for going inside the Jaws spin cycle last December.

Leah Lendel was attacked by an estimated 8-foot bull shark, nearly losing her hand in the process, while snorkeling in Boca Grande, Florida.

Construction crew workers jumped in the water to help, before emergency crews arrived to save her life.
Pro Surfer Pulls Off ‘First-Ever’ Superman Fingerflip (Video)

1 week ago | surfer.com | Dashel Pierson

Jacob “Zeke” Szekely has done it again with an obscure, difficult aerial maneuver…and this time in the actual ocean. In the realm of aerials, surfers are woefully behind when compared to other boardsport counterparts like snowboarding and skateboarding. Flipping and spinning the board (à la skateboarding) is something rarely seen on surf craft; and rotations beyond 540 degrees (an extremely common practice in the snow) has barely been tapped in the water…at least, for now.
Reality TV Meets Sharks: Netflix’s New Series Looks Wild

1 week ago | surfer.com | Dashel Pierson

“All the Sharks” follows shark researchers competing for $50,000 as they dive with the ocean’s rarest and most dangerous predators. Sharks make for good TV. Look at Shark Week, the long-running summertime spectacle on Discovery Channel, which has reigned supreme in the cultural zeitgeist, becoming a household phenomenon. The programming even made for a memorable gag in the endlessly quotable 2008 film Step Brothers. Now, Netflix appears to be getting the hint.
