There’s nothing that will catch the eye of a surfer like a good lineup shot.

Perfection captured from afar is eternally mesmerising. An unspoiled

canvas upon which the imagination is set free to paint its own

brush strokes. An opportunity to momentarily

escape reality and mind surf yourself into oblivion.

"The final leg of my trip to Puerto Rico. Woke up on the 5th morning to well overhead surf fully piping down the beach. The boys Doug, Max, Nick, and Baylo all scored some sweet little barrels for hours. We all had a nice dinner and a few drinks at the mountain bar with a beautiful sunset view. On my final day there the waves were much smaller so I got to go out again and was able to catch some of the biggest waves I've ever caught in Puerto Rico. Stoked on an epic trip!"

Stop Whatever You’re Doing and Watch This 18-Minute Film From John Florence

0 Comment

It wasn’t long ago that John Florence would hoard his best clips on a hard drive for two years before releasing a full-length banger film. The movies were incredible, but the wait between them was not.

These days Florence and filmer Erik Knutson are more liberal with their content. While they aren’t — and never will be — YouTube Vlogger’s, they drop a raw session here, a contest recap there, and occasionally a longer form mini-movie, like this one from Florence’s time in Australia in April and May last year. And we eat it all up. Who doesn’t want to watch every morsel of content from the best surfer in the world?

"We try to always improve with what we are shooting, and how it's put together when we document our travels. We have been trying to put a lot into these short film projects on the road and we're excited to keep pushing them further. Australia is so wide open, with a lot of variety in the landscapes. It makes it easy for us to wake up inspired to shoot every day."

When you feel the talent and passion of someone young who wants ride big waves, i like to take notice. I met Ned Hart 2 years ago at his home town of Dunsborough in Western Australia. It only took moments to understand what his long term goals are. But at 14 years of age in this sport it takes time. 2 years later the kid has turned into an adult quick. Last year thanks to his mum Adele, he spent time at a number of big wave spots like Teahupoo in Tahiti, Indonesia & Hawaii. Now he's 16 and for the first time he took on Shipsterns Bluff in Tasmania. What we witnessed on the 26th of March in 3 waves, blew our minds and here is the evidence.

This is simply incredible stuff cause its ALL HART ! ENJOY.

This madness must stop! Taiji has amassed one of the largest collections of captive dolphins in the world

0 Comment

Within each tiny enclosure was once a free-ranging mammal, ruthlessly caught during the town’s notoriously cruel dolphin drive hunts, and selected for a “life” within man-made enclosures.

All of these dolphins were captured from the wild for the dolphinarium trade. ⁠

⁠A meticulous count in collaboration with Japanese NGO Life Investigation Agency (LIA) revealed that 269 dolphins across nine species are being held captive in Taiji's massive captive dolphin inventory as of March 2022, making it one of- if not the- largest captive dolphin collections in the world.
