Research shows surfers play a critical lifesaving role

1 week ago | surfertoday.com | Luis Pinto

Surfers are many times the closest line of defense against ocean drowning. They can reach out to swimmers in distress faster than lifeguards. Although that's something we already knew empirically, a study has now confirmed it. Yes, there's more to surfing than just riding waves. It's been like that since the pastime hit beachgoers' swimming zones. In fact, surfers invariably step up when swimmers get into trouble.
The surfer sunglasses made from upcycled wetsuits

Neoprene is not by far the most environmentally friendly material on the planet. Most of the surfers' worn-out wetsuits are thrown into the waste container. In the 21st century, though, we've witnessed a few successful initiatives to give old wetsuits a new life. When a brand‑new wetsuit ripped at the crotch during a surf session in Australia, Marco didn't just patch it. He sparked an idea that would upend the eyewear world.
The era of the inland surf town

"We manufacture waves for surfing," the neon sign reads seven miles (11 kilometers) north of Allen, South Dakota. The previous sentence could be in a futuristic movie script, but it could also become a reality in a few years. Allen, South Dakota, is North America's continental pole of inaccessibility. A poll of inaccessibility refers to the point that's furthest away from any coastline or boundary. In other words, it's a spot that's, in a way, the most remote or isolated.
A heartfelt tribute to the genius of Brian Wilson

2 weeks ago | surfertoday.com | Luis Pinto

Harmony, hope, sun, and surf. These could very well be some of life's greatest and most vivid ingredients. Brian Wilson, the mastermind and genius behind The Beach Boys, had them all in the music he gave birth to. I was born 35 years after Brian Wilson and 5,600 miles (9,000 kilometers) away from his birth town of Inglewood, California. My parents were big fans of The Beatles, even though The Beach Boys were also part of my childhood memories.
Why A-frame waves are a surfer's dream

2 weeks ago | surfertoday.com | Luis Pinto

A-frame waves are probably the favorite type of waves for any surfer. Is there anything better than being able to choose whether to ride right or left every time you take off? An A-frame wave, sometimes called a split peak, is a type of breaking wave characterized by a single, well-defined peak that simultaneously peels both left and right, forming the shape of an "A." Surfers positioned right on the peak can choose to ride either shoulder.
K-wing: the freefly foiling tool

2 weeks ago | surfertoday.com | Luis Pinto

Is it a kite? Is it a parawing? Is it a pocket wing? No, it's a K-wing, the new foiling discipline/equipment coined by F-One. Imagine a device that flies itself yet stays light enough to feel like part of your body. Meet the K-wing by F-One, a hybrid between a kite and a wing designed from the ground up for foiling. Unlike a parawing, which you hold close, the K-wing lives a little further away on short 1.2 or 1.4-meter lines and carries itself with an inflatable leading edge.
Gui Khury lands first-ever 900 at a park contest

2 weeks ago | surfertoday.com | Luis Pinto

Gui Khury has landed the world's first 900 in a park skateboarding competition. The Brazilian skater is just 16, but he's been breaking records since he was 11. Since then, he has become the first to stomp a kickflip body varial 900 and a 1080 in a contest and the first-ever to land a 1080 on a vert ramp. Khury keeps pushing the limits of what was previously unimaginable.
Tom Lowe revived after Teahupoo wipeout nightmare

2 weeks ago | surfertoday.com | Luis Pinto

On June 4, 2025, British big-wave rider Tom Lowe tasted the fearsome reputation and danger of the waves of Teahupoo. It seemed like just another day in Tahiti. Lowe paddled into a long-period west swell around 2 pm. Locals say the waves were solid 10 feet, with a couple of 12-footers slipping through. So far, so good. He dropped into the West Bowl cavern and blasted through the lip right into a foam ball that hit him full-on as he tried to stand up.
Infinity Wave Co.: the movable reef that makes 1,200 waves per hour

3 weeks ago | surfertoday.com | Luis Pinto

Infinity Wave Co. is a wave generation technology that adjusts the pool's reef in real-time to create any type of wave, from long, smooth ones to powerful, rideable tubes. In a time when the wave pool industry is taking over the surf industry itself, the trick and success formula seems to be somewhere within the boundaries of energy consumption and the number of artificial waves produced per hour. All roads lead to Rome, but some are better and/or faster than others.
The architecture of surf culture

3 weeks ago | surfertoday.com | Luis Pinto

Surf culture - two words that combine meaningfully and work as a rich standalone sentence. But what exactly does this concept encompass? References to surf culture are all over the internet, and mainstream media often adopt them to address nearly all things surfing. It's an overused cliché that has nearly lost its magic and juice.
