How to Train Like A Pro Surfer ft. Jack Freestone I Cariuma Surf

Get your dry land dialed with pro surfer Jack Freestone, who shares 6 essential training exercises to better your surfing and keep aches and pains at bay. Surf-eat-sleep is hardly a myth—”don’t get me wrong, I think the best exercise for surfing is surfing,” he says—but making time for a safe, (semi-regular) gym session translates directly to you feeling stronger and more relaxed in the water. Jack demos a mobility-focused warmup, followed by three surf-specific weighted and resistance exercises.

The couple resides in Kauai, busy surfing, filming their wildly popular web series, and passing on their shared love of the ocean to their son, Banks.

How To Surf Pipeline ft Pipeline Master Jamie O'Brien I Cariuma Surf

From the guy who makes surfing one of the world’s heaviest waves look easy, a How-To installment like never before. Paddle out with pro surfer and Pipemaster Jamie O’Brien, who shares his tried-and-true Pipeline insights: how to find your equipment, recognize ideal conditions, read the wave, and respect the locals. Prefer the view from the shore? Jamie will let you in on what it actually feels like to get barreled at Banzai…

More on Jamie O'Brien:
Jamie O’Brien, also known as the Pipemaster, is a Hawaiian-born-and-bred surfer, and it shows. He grew up near one of the most notorious waves on the planet, with a home in front of Pipeline, on the surf mecca of Oahu's North Shore. Since then, it’s been nothing but balancing competitions with freesurfing for O’Brien. He’s a charismatic guy that surfs for the ardor of it. He’s not chasing accolades, though he has earned many – like winning Pipeline Masters and creating one of the most-viewed surf channels.

How To Cross-Step ft. 2-time World Longboard Champion and Pro-Surfer Kelia Moniz I Cariuma Surf

If surfing really is a dance, let Kelia Moniz be your choreographer for the day. The pro longboarder’s signature cross-step epitomizes one of the most graceful, yet functional maneuvers in surfing. With tips from her earliest surf coaches—her parents, who run Moniz Family Surf—the 2-time World Longboard Champ teaches her iconic cross-step: drawing the line, finding the trim, where to look and how to step, not shuffle.

Produced by: Mason Rose

More on Kelia Moniz:
Kelia is not only a household name in women’s longboarding; she’s also considered Hawaiian Surf Royalty. She holds two WSL world titles, unsurprising given that she’s one of the most graceful and versatile surfers out there, equally fluid off the lip or cross-stepping to the nose. At the age of fourteen, she was not only competing against the world's best in longboarding—she was beating them.

How To Get Barreled ft. Pipeline Master and Surf Legend Gerry Lopez I Cariuma Surf

The first thing you should know about getting the perfect barrel? It’s mostly luck, according to the original Pipeline Master. As one of the heaviest barrels in the world, the North Shore Pipeline is where surf legend Gerry Lopez formed a lasting relationship with the ocean, the tube, and shaping the ideal board. (His iconic Bolts are directly descended from the very first shortboard he shaped to successfully ride Pipeline). No question—Gerry knows the way to the ultimate tubular experience. Sit back, take notes, and soak up the epic Super Session archives.

Before the Wave: At Home with Pro Surfer Alana Blanchard I Cariuma Surf

You know Alana Blanchard. You love Alana Blanchard, in all her multitudes: pro surfer, mother, vegan chef, women’s surfing advocate, model, vlogger and seemingly effortless social media star. The secret to her multi-hyphenate success is that there is no secret. She’ll tell you it was an early, natural love of beach culture and surfing—passed down from Dad, starting with her first wave off Hanalei Pier at just 4 years old—that made her who she is today. In this dispatch from home on Kauai, Alana shares her current surfing motivations (as in, what keeps those signature frontside carves so damn sharp), her thoughts on Mother Nature, motherhood, and why our partnership is about so much more than sneakers.

More on Alana Blanchard:
Pro Surfer Alana Blanchard is known for the artful way she approaches each wave and her stylish frontside carves. She’s beloved as a model and social media personality, organically growing a dedicated 100K+ following on YouTube, documenting life at home on Kauai. The vlog series, featuring partner Jack Freestone and their son, Banks, highlights their surfing, travel, vegan/farm-to-table lifestyle, and all the ways they pass on a shared love of the ocean to their son, Banks. (Mom & Dad are currently teaching him how to surf!)

Before the Wave: At Home with Pro Surfer Jack Freestone I Cariuma Surf

Pro surfer Jack Freestone is constantly on the move. Following in the footsteps of fellow Gold Coast natives Mick Fanning and Joel Parkinson, Jack was quick to establish himself as a powerful, incredibly adaptive freesurfer. Since 2016, he’s been traveling the globe in search of new waves and WSL Tour wins; though lately, family life is plenty kinetic for Jack and his partner in surf/life, Alana Blanchard. We caught up with him at home on Kauai, where the two are busy surfing, filming their wildly popular YouTube series, and passing on a shared love of the ocean to their son, Banks. (Oh, and don’t be fooled by his soft-spoken demeanor—Jack’s a force beyond reckoning, still blistering off the lip and landing massive aerials when he’s off dad duty.)

Before the Wave: At Home with Surf Legend Gerry "Mr Pipeline" Lopez I Cariuma Surf

Before the Wave: At Home with Gerry “Mr. Pipeline” Lopez takes us to the legendary surfer, shaper, and master yogi’s adopted home: Bend, OR. He’s the surf world’s Renaissance man, an early adopter of yoga and consciousness-raising practices, whose talents extend to any sport involving a board. Gerry’s equally respected as a shaper: his signature Bolt boards are instantly recognizable (to have one is like having an original Picasso). We managed to catch him in a rare moment of down time to talk sustainability, mindfulness, and of course, Pipeline.

Before the Wave: At Home with 2-Time Longboard Surf World Champion Kelia Moniz I Cariuma Surf

Growing up alongside four brothers earned her the nickname “Sister”, but Kelia Moniz is a household name on her own terms. In the third installment of our surf film series, the two-time WSL Longboard Champion is back home at Waikiki. Kelia was in the water as soon as she could walk, and it shows: she’s a champion of positivity for young female surfers and an innate environmentalist—the first to admit that the future is up to us, to embrace as our sacred responsibility. Here, the masterful longboarder and new mom welcomes us for an intimate portrait of the island, family, and waves that raised her.
