What's The Deal With...?

Surf News & Updates

How do I choose the right board for my next step?

Honestly, talk to your local shaper or shop guru. Tell them exactly what you’re riding now and what feels limiting. Want more maneuverability? Maybe a step down in length. Need more paddle power for weaker waves? Consider a bit more volume. It’s a subtle dance of dimensions. The right board for your progression should feel both challenging and supportive, opening new doors on waves you already surf.

How is surf travel changing post-pandemic?

The herd mentality is fading. It’s less about chasing the same crowded, Instagram-famous spots. Crews are now seeking “off-grid” missions—exploring lesser-known coasts, scoring empty lineups, and connecting with local communities more deeply. Van life and overlanding are huge, prioritizing the journey as much as the destination. The goal is authentic experience over bragging rights, chasing solitude and new discoveries.

What’s the deal with the Championship Tour schedule?

The CT is the big leagues, the dream tour! It’s a global series of about ten elite events where the world’s best battle for the title. The schedule follows the seasons, chasing perfect waves from Pipeline in Hawaii to pumping J-Bay in South Africa and Teahupoo in Tahiti. Knowing the schedule lets you sync your life with the world’s best performances, either by planning a pilgrimage to watch in person or just making sure you’re free to stream the heats.

Surf Lifestyle & Travel

What’s the deal with chasing swells and seasonal patterns?

It’s all about reading the global weather map! Different coasts fire in different seasons. Northern Hemisphere spots like Hawaii get pumping in winter, while Southern Hemisphere gems like Indonesia light up in our summer. You follow the low-pressure systems. Dedicated travelers use swell models and forecasts to book last-minute flights, chasing that perfect pulse of energy across the ocean. It’s a never-ending global treasure hunt for the next perfect session.

When is the best time to score epic waves in California?

It’s all about season and swell direction, bro. Winter (Oct-Feb) brings the biggest, cleanest NW swells and offshore Santa Ana winds for epic conditions, but the water is chilly. Summer (May-Sept) offers smaller, friendlier south swells, warmer water, and longer days for those after-work sessions. Shoulder seasons can be magic with a mix of swells. Honestly, there’s no bad time—just different kinds of fun.

Where are the best spots to chase the swell?

For beginners, chill beach breaks like Bundoran’s Tullan Strand or Lahinch are perfect. Intermediate riders should check out the reef and point setups like Easkey Left or Mullaghmore Head on a small day. For the experienced chargers seeking heavy barrels, spots like Aileen’s at the Cliffs of Moher (on a massive swell) or the big wave arena of Mullaghmore demand respect. Always check local knowledge, as conditions change fast!
