Varazze: getting barreled in Italy's premier surf break
By:
on
APR
30
Italy is not the first country you will think of when planning a surf trip around Europe. However, with its 4,720 miles (7,600 kilometers) of coastline and over 320 rideable surf breaks, there are plenty of fun opportunities popping up when favorable winds and swells align. The Italian Peninsula is in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. This enclosed region depends on the low-pressure fronts from the north, west, or south and enough wind to generate surfable waves around "The Boot." So, even though consistency is not the best word to characterize Italy's surfing potential, there are certainly plenty of different surf spots capable of producing a few fun gems. Can you get barreled in an Italian wave? For sure? Are there overhead ramps on offer? Definitely. The Italian Northwest Liguria is probably the most reliable surfing region in Italy. The crescent-shaped area that goes from San Remo in the west to Viareggio in the East hosts a series of above-average waves along its 175-

Bruce Irons battles mental health issues with psychedelic therapy
By:

APR

Bruce Irons embarked on a transformative health trial at Beond Ibogaine, a specialized clinic in Cancún, Mexico, where he is exploring the potential of ibogaine-assisted therapy. Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychedelic substance derived from the iboga shrub, traditionally used in West African healing rituals. In recent years, it has gained attention for its potential to treat addiction and mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Irons' decision to undergo this follows a long battle with mental health issues, fueled by the tragic loss of his brother and three-time world champion, Andy Irons, who also battled inner demons. The Beond Ibogaine program combines ibogaine treatment with various "adjunct therapies," including cold therapy, meditation, sound healing, art therapy, movement, and massage. This holistic approach aims to support patients as they work through the powerful and introspective experience induced by ibogaine. In a video message, Iro

The battle for waves in overcrowded surf breaks

Life changes when you start working. And so does your surfing. Most of the freedom and flexible time schedules you had before you became a grown-up adult with responsibilities and bills to pay ends or gets seriously axed when you get your first job. The days when you could put on a wetsuit and just paddle out when the surf's great slowly vanish as you progress through your 20s and 30s. Although this is not an inevitable scenario for every surfer out there, it's the most common one. So, 99 percent of all hard-working recreational surfers end up with two days to shred and get their golden share of waves. We end up in the so-called weekend warrior basket, the silent majority that surf media professionals, influencers, and wanna-be pro surfers often mock. And then, if you commit the ultimate sin of starting a family, things get even worse for a while - weekends turn into months and years. Some longtime surfers even lose the will to get in the water and enjoy the pleasures of catching a few

Geoff McCoy, the father of the Lazor Zap, passes away
By:
on
APR

Geoff McCoy, one of the world's most innovative and creative surfboard shapers, passed away at home in Byron Bay, Australia, at the age of 79 after complications following a heart attack. The pioneer of the shortboard revolution was born in 1944 in Gosford, New South Wales. As a youngster, the son of a farmer and the Killcare Surf Club captain was a talented horseman. Geoff started surfing at age 14 during his school holidays at Avoca Beach. He shaped his first boards at 17 for Bennett Surfboards and Keyo Surfboards after concluding a five-year apprenticeship in wood and metal pattern making. He was also the co-founder of M&M Surfboards. In the 1970s, the Australian set up his own business, McCoy Surfboards, in Brookvale, a Sydney suburb. Ray Richards, the father of world surfing champion Mark Richards, encouraged him to do so and ordered the shaper's first ten creations. In just half a year, the McCoy factory produced 65 boards weekly. It marked a vibrant era as Geoff crafted boar

Jack Robinson and Gabriela Bryan have taken out the 2024 Margaret River Pro. In a full day of competition that ran 18 heats, Bryan and Robinson took down a stacked field in six-to-eight-foot waves at Margaret River's Main Break. As the final event before the mid-season cut, the surfers left in the draw had one last opportunity to continue through to the back half of the 2024 CT season. Today's high-pressured heats confirmed the final list of competitors who made and missed the mid-season cut. Gabriela Bryan Claims Maiden CT Victory Coming into Margaret River Pro, Gabriela Bryan was sitting in 10th place on the rankings and in desperate need of her best result of the year. A standout at Margaret River, Bryan has made the final at this location before to save her place on Tour with a career-best runner-up finish in her rookie season. The 22-year-old's path to the Final was a rocky one, with plenty of close results seeing her edge out her opponents, Costa Rica's Brisa Hennessy

Sebastian Steudtner and Porsche develop wave height measurement drone
By:

APR

Big wave surfing is an industry with an industry. The relentless chase for world records translates into prize money and sponsorship deals. Athletes have been pushing their limits and putting their lives on the line to ride bigger and heavier waves. Top athletes now work with multidisciplinary teams involving personal trainers, psychologists, nutritionists, photo and videographers, and public relations professionals. This 360-degree approach brings world-renowned big riders closer to their goal of holding the record for the largest wave ever surfed. Sebastian Steudtner is one of them. The German holds the coveted Guinness World Record trophy validated by the World Surf League. But the 2023/2024 winter season was particularly rich in XXL swells and potentially world record-breaking feats. Drones to Measure Wave Height So, because the best defense is the attack, Steudtner leveraged "state-of-the-art drone technology" developed by Porsche Engineering to measure one of his best

A brief history of ice surfboards
By:
on
APR

Is it possible to shape a surfboard out of ice? And if you make it a reality, can you surf it? They're probably the world's most sustainable surfboards, made from the same core of waves - water. The physics of surfboards and surfing tell us that gravity and buoyancy play fundamental roles in moving the rideable surface across the wave. These two forces only need a stable, relatively wide, and long stiff material to propel a human over the water. One of the first to come up with the idea of a surfboard made of frozen water was Conn Bertish, a surfer, artist, and ocean protection activist, who crafted a life-sized surfboard completely out of ice in 2009. Bertish spent two days sculpting the ice board in a specialized fridge in Cape Town, South Africa. Afterward, the board was transported in two pieces to Depasco Café, where it was showcased to the public as part of the Wavescapes Surf Art Exhibition. The goal was to highlight the impact of global warming on our oceans and the rapi

Kelly Slater retires from professional competitive surfing
By:

APR

The most successful competitive surfer of all time, Kelly Slater, rode what may have been the last heat of his 24-year professional career. The 11-time world surfing champion survived the elimination round at Margaret River but lost his Round 32 against Griffin Colapinto. Consequently, Slater, 52, does not make the mid-season cut nor qualified for the 2025 WSL CT and is expected to hang his leash when it comes to professional surfing. There was never a formal announcement, but it's clear from his emotional post-comp words that surfing's greatest of all time (GOAT) is moving on to a new stage of his life. It's been 44 years lifting trophies with the jersey on since the Cocoa Beach-born started competing at eight. The youngest (20) and the oldest (39) surfer to conquer a world surfing title won 56 Championship Tour (CT) events. The first contest win arrived in 1992 at Rip Curl Pro Landes, and the last was the 2022 Billabong Pro Pipeline. Kelly Slater won eight Pipe Masters, three T

Why the surf industry needs an MBA program
By:
on
APR

The exponential growth in the number of surfing participants is undeniable, but the industry failed to accompany and capitalize on this opportunity. Here's why the sport lacks undergraduate and postgraduate courses and programs and how to draft a simple surf industry MBA program. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the surf industry enjoyed some of its best years ever. The surfing community was engaged with the companies and vice-versa. People proudly wore surfwear, and brands were an active part of the show, whether by sponsoring athletes and events or creating innovative initiatives that kept the sport united and tight. Apparel and clothing sales soared, and when the internet was about to take the sport to a whole new stratospherical dimension, everything changed. The 2007 American subprime mortgage crisis hit the world, and the world's largest surf companies entered their decadence decades. Surf culture changed fast, too. There were more indie surf manufacturers biting the toes of the big

20 interesting facts about the Hawaiian language
By:
on
APR
12
Classified as "Critically Endangered" by UNESCO, the native Hawaiian language has approximately 2,000 speakers. Here's what makes it so special. Hawaii is a unique archipelago with an ancient Polynesian culture. It's also home to an exclusive endemic ecosystem, where 90 percent of its fauna exist nowhere else in the world. While the Hawaiian Islands have existed for over 3.4 million years, the earliest documented record of the oral language ('Ōlelo Hawai'i) dates back to 1778, when Captain James Cook set foot on the island of Kauai. It is estimated that, at the time, between 400,000-800,000 natives spoke the indigenous language. Hawaiian belongs to the Polynesian language family, sharing similarities with Tongan and Samoan. Although speakers of Hawaiian may find some basic mutual understanding with speakers of other Polynesian languages, it's important to note that these languages are not interchangeable.
