Surfer Just About Gobbled Up By Humpback Whale

The third in our triage of close encounters of the Marine kind off sunny California. And while we’ve seen some pretty funky sh*t on this blog, especially off the coast of California, I gotta say this one will make you soil yourself more than any other. The scene, a surfer lazily taking in a nice [...]

Garrett McNamara Surfs Biggest Wave Ever Ridden

You don’t really equate Portugal with massive waves, but big wave rider Garrett McNamara knew a sick wave when he saw one. So, he pulled a Bodhi and rode it. Now the video’s making the rounds, the general consensus is that the wave is 90 feet high and…if that’s true, you’re lookin’ at the biggest [...]

Six Surfing Destinations You Don’t Know About

Think of surfing and the obvious names pop up: Hawaii, Jeffery’s Bay and California. And there are plenty of other popular surfing destinations, but sometimes there’s ridiculous surf in other places that don’t register in the collective surfing conscious. As with any form of adventure travel, in the surfing world it pays to get off [...]

Surfer Cheats Death in Narrow Miss With Jet Ski

Man, some guys just look death in the face and tell it to F&#k Off.  Fortunately for Ramiana van Bastolaer, the world-renowned big wave surfer did just that, with an Oh Shit moment for the record books and a video that will make your jaw hit the floor.
Watch this video, of Reef McIntosh’s jet ski [...]

Sickest, Baddest Most Hardcore Waves in Australia

To each their own. Canada has hockey, the Norwegians have wing-suits. And the Aussies? They have waves that would give Kelly Slater wet dreams for the next fifty years. This is a compilation video, of just some absolutely disgusting waves and the surfers who ride them. This is big wave [...]

Zoltan Torkos, Surf Magician, Does Insane Triple Kick-Flip

Even if you’re not a surfer, you gotta see this. Zoltan Torkos, aside from having a seriously cool name, now has the distinction of performing the first ever triple kick-flip. Or at least the first one caught on film. This is just nuts. He took home 10K for that little move. [...]

Great White Sharks in Tofino? Yes and No.

There’s been some confusion over the years whether or not a great white shark was caught off Ucluelet in 2005.  Specifically, it’s this image, of what appears to be a large great white, dead and hoisted above the wharf.  Go here to see one of the many posts regarding this rumour.
Anyway, while it appears to [...]

Glacier Surfing in Alaska

We may be in the doldrums of winter, but Mother Nature’s always up for some seriously killer surf…of the glacier variety!  This video is a combination of big wave surfer Garrett McNamara and a jet ski being in the right place at the right time.  Watch as this glacier conveniently topples into the water in [...]

Surfin’ in the Snow

One word to describe this video – cold. Only in Canada would someone be crazy enough to surf in the snow. Actually, some surfers say the swells are better in winter than in summer. No arguments here, these are some nice looking waves. This is Peter DeVries, and he just tears [...]

O’Neill Surfing Tournament Returns to Tofino

More proof that Tofino is making a name for itself in the surfing community.  This weekend, the O’Neill Coldwater Classic tournament returns to Tofino for the second consecutive year.  Tofino surfing guru Peter DeVries won last year’s tournament, which certainly didn’t hurt O’Neill’s decision to come back to the surfing capital of Canada.  You’ll be [...]
