The Swell Guys: One Surfer One Ride A Lifetime of Stoke
Visuals

Check the following galleries in photographs, sequences and video clips

Full Motion

Photographs help to freeze a moment in time, however, much is lost in the process. Seeing a moving, heaving, screaming mountain of water frame-by-frame is so much better&hellip

Slow Motion

Surfing in action often takes place at such a fast pace that you can't appreciate the finer details. It's for that very reason that we've put together some sick sequences frame-by-frame, we hope you enjoy them!

Stop Motion

Photographs freeze the defining moment in any action, the shutter clicks and the moment is preserved. Take a look at our photo archive, perhaps we caught your defining moment…

Confessions of a Surf Coach

You see them in coffee shops chatting to clients and out in the water pushing groms into their first rides - Surf Coaches - find out just how glamorous being a Surf Coach really is.

BEWARE BOYS: We beaches can bite

We have a chat with Shannon McLaughlin from Liquid Girls magazine and see how the girls are shaping up against the guys.

Why It's Not Your Wave

We'll help you to understand that what you are riding is billions and billions of years old and deserves some respect. The waves you are catching are almost prehistoric in a way. When you feel the urge to say "get off my wave" ask yourself, "is it really all about me and my ego?"

Bintang Barbie and the Doxy Rockers

One friend, three strangers and an overdose of Doxytab. This is the story of a trip clouded in mystery and superstition that turned out to be nothing more than an island in the mist. An island with perfect waves. An island called Bali.

Water, Wax and Wood

Musicians use the environment that surrounds them. Be it the city lights or the stillness of the outdoors, they draw on it and in conjunction with their instruments they make music, using either their hands or their breath. Just as surfers do out in the deep, a combination of board and wave become the canvass on which they paint.

YOU SAID WHAT ?

OK people, let's face the facts… either you love us or you hate us. Either way we're happy just as long as you're talking about us!

The Wall of Shame

Sometimes we do things when we think nobody is watching - things like picking your nose while in traffic, or wearing no undies when visiting the Mall. Next time you go for a surf, beware, we'll be watching and we won't hesitate to pin you to the Wall of Shame for posterity…

OverXposed

Surf spots around the planet all have a few underground rippers who don't care about being famous or winning competitions - they surf because they love to. In OverXposed we profile these diamonds in the rough…

Strandloper

Ever heard the phrase “Take a trip down memory lane”? Surfers don't do that, the only lane we use is the one that leads to the ocean, instead we talk a walk down the beach where the only thing we leave behind are our footprints…
