Live Surf Cams

Surfline Live is a 24/7 glimpse into the world’s surf.

This stream moves through Surfline's global camera network, showing spots where it’s daylight and rated Fair or better.

What's The Deal With...?

Legendary Surf Spots

What board should I bring for J-Bay?

Think performance, but with a touch of extra glide. A standard shortboard around your everyday volume works, but many opt for a slightly longer, narrower outline—a step-up or a “gun-lite”—to handle the speed and connect through the sections. You need drive down the line and hold in the barrel. Thrusters are the go-to for control, but some legends have been known to ride quads for extra speed. Don’t bring your groveler; bring your good board that you trust on a fast, walling face.

What’s the local surf culture and etiquette like?

The vibe is generally super chill, but it’s a high-performance arena. Respect is everything. The Goldy has a strong local crew who surf these waves daily. Don’t snake, don’t drop in, and always wait your turn in the lineup. A friendly attitude goes a long way. At iconic points, there’s a recognized pecking order. Observe for a while before paddling out. Support local businesses, and you’ll find the community is incredibly welcoming to surfers who show proper ocean manners.

How do I stay safe surfing in Kauai’s lineup?

Ocean knowledge is your best safety gear. Kauai has strong currents, shallow reefs, and powerful waves. Always check conditions before you paddle out. Know your limits—don’t get in over your head. Use a leash that matches the wave size. Be reef-aware to avoid nasty cuts. When in doubt, don’t go out. Having a buddy is always better. Respect the power of the ocean; it’s not a pool, it’s a force of nature.

Surf Icons & Heroes

How is he involved in the surf community today?

Tomson remains a massive influence, not as a competitor, but as a mentor and storyteller. He speaks at events, shares his “Code” with stoked grommets, and advocates for ocean conservation. He’s a respected voice who connects surfing’s soulful past to its present, always emphasizing respect for the ocean and each other. You’ll find him sharing stories, inspiring the next generation, and occasionally still getting shacked at his home breaks, living the ethos he preaches.

How is Dora remembered in the surf world today?

As a complex icon. He’s revered not for contest wins, but for his mythical status as the ultimate rebel. You’ll see his silhouette on stickers and shirts, a symbol of anti-establishment cool. Modern filmmakers, artists, and writers constantly reference his legacy. While his controversial actions aren’t always condoned, his unwavering commitment to surfing as an art form is deeply respected. He remains the benchmark for individuality in a sport that often struggles between pure soul and big business.

How did she adapt her surfing technique after her injury?

Bethany totally re-engineered her style. She had a custom board shaped with a handle near the nose for extra stability during take-offs. Her pop-up became a one-arm explosive motion, using her core and momentum to get to her feet. She mastered generating speed by carving deeper and using her body weight more dynamically. Paddling? All about powerful, single-arm strokes and killer leg kicks. It’s a masterclass in adaptation, proving that technique is about creativity and feel, not just textbook form.
