The inaugural 0800 4 MAUIS surf comp
The first time I saw a fin in the water out surfing brought an instant revelation. In warm glassy sunfilled morning conditions at a beach on Australia's Sunshine Coast, the serenity was suddenly shaken as a black dorsal fin, accompanied by a bow-wake coming off a fast moving creature underneath, headed directly my way.
IMMERSION - A new photographic exhibition by Rowan Klevstul
Chasing waves, that's what its all about. You've gotta be on it, ready to make the most of those prime moments when they arrive. Because that heartfelt gut wrenching feeling of missing out when you know its firing deflates the surfing id more than anything else and after a while it just flat out becomes intolerable.
Spring Offerings from the Northwest
'Round here, surfers ears tend to prick up whenever the rumour of a North-west swell drops.

All I want for Xmas...
With Christmas upon us and a summer full of waves ahead, 'tis the time to covet new surfboards! But before I let you in on a must have breakthrough in surfboard design that's really caught my imagination, can we have a little context please...
The 2010 O'Neill Auckland Champs
This Saturday saw the 2010 O'Neill Auckland Champs run to full capacity at Maori Bay. A stacked draw ran back-to-back-to-back in maxing conditions - twelve hours of attrition, drama and some of the best performance surfing seen at the A.C's for a long while.
What's the Surf like?
