Tales of a Mysterious Land
We heard tales of a spot… a secret spot hidden in a land where they speak an unfamiliar tongue, very rarely heard. The land is awash with tall skinny pines that span as far as the eye can see, and a coast peppered with sa…
Gliding Barnacles Gentlemen's Club

Noosa Festival of Surfing 2017 with Mitch Surman
A quick sum up of what fun on a stick looks like. See what I did there, well never mind this article is not about words. It’s about the watching and the dribbling. Noosa just got closer to the top of my ‘to surf’ list.
Miller Surfboards are more popular than a fry up on the weekend
A friend of mine that still resides on the gusty, cold and often swell redundant island of my birth (UK) posted on social media that he is looking for a new board. His geographical location was not far from Ellie's so I e…

Today, two shapers who work using his designs and who are professed students of his work are Daniel 'Tomo' Thompson and asymmetric guru, Ryan Burch. While Tomo is trying to bring these designs to the masses, Burch prefers…
Matt Meola drops his surfboard
It's not just the airs, the turns and the occasional casual overhead tube. It's not even the first ever Spindle flip 540 that is what we are waiting for. The special part is right at the end when he is celebrating and dro…
Crowd Anxiety? A guide to sanity and serenity.
So what does one do when faced with enough humans in the water that you could walk out to the take off spot? Two options really; get grumpy and jaded, or get clever! With this in mind there are some creative and fun tact…
The WSL / Surf Bunker Collab
This is groundbreaking news for us here in the office. We can now book that holiday we have always wanted, pay off our mortgages and extend our surfboard quiver over the horizon.
Fun, Fires, Beards & Waves
Fortunately for those involved, there are some amazing looking waves and some very skillful wave projection on fiberglass. Asher Pacey is a recognized talent in the water. But without Fires, Beards and Twats would be bett…
Shark Deterrents - Tested
The thing with a shark repellent is that it just needs to do one thing. It needs to work. It does not need to match your wetsuit or have a built in Twitter app, but it does need to repel sharks. Or you are dead. Or minus …
Are you missing Mr Reynolds?
Yes, we are missing his attack so this clip from Marine Layer is more than welcome. There really is no one who surfs quite like Dane, even though he is getting on a bit now, has a little one and no major Industry sponsor …

Shaun Tomson on Sustainable Surfing
Shaun Tomson, 1977 World Champion of Surfing, is one passionate human being. I remember years ago, I breezed through one of his books on a road trip with my parents. I was captivated by the stories of his youth in South A…
Green Fix Surf Wax - Tested
I’m going to get straight to the point… these folks are legit, and I’m backing them all the way. I seriously like their style, their company values and their products, plus the wax works like a good surfboard wax should d…
It's not OK
That's 45 Euro or 38 Great British Pounds. For a t-shirt. Maybe I am a tight person, or too old for their projected demographic. Hell maybe I am just skint but the day I spend 48 dollars on a t-shirt is the day I let some…

A group of surfers, after becoming increasingly disenchanted with the modern surf culture in popular locations, go in search of some adventure and score some real waves.
