JOSSI WELLS INVITATIONAL | 2023

JWI was started in 2016 by iconic New Zealand freeskier and six-time XGames medalist Jossi Wells, still in charge of hand-picking all riders in the event. This year, the JWI was scheduled to feature three competition disciplines in both freeski and snowboarding: Rail Jam, TC Shoot-Out, and the legendary Big Air. But as fate would have it, gusting winds eliminated the Big Air day and turned it into a knuckle huck session. Rail day was postponed by 4 hours due to severe winds and dense fog. Despite strong winds, everyone skied with a style and energy entirely of their own making – solidifying JWI as one of the best events of 2023.

Filmed by Brady Perron and Hotlaps. The edit features skiing from Jossi Wells, Edouard Therriault, Alex Hall, Beau-James Wells, Jackson Wells, Quinn Wolferman, Luca Harrington, and Tom Wallisch.

The Skeleton Bay Shootout | Surf Contest At The Best Wave In The World

The Skeleton Bay Shootout presented by Monster Energy took place over three days in late June in non-stop three-to-six foot barrels in Namibia. The speciality event looks to recognise the standout surfers of the swell at the best wave in the world and the rules are simple – show up and pull in.

“The Skeleton Bay Shootout is a peer-judged event and it’s pretty underground. No-ones really knows when it will happen, it’ll just pop-up depending on the swell and whoever is there is there,” says Eli Beukes, who put in a solid showing on his first trip to the iconic left-hander on the edge of the Namib Desert. “It’s pretty cool because it’s mostly going by word of mouth and whoever has been the surfer of the swell or gets the best barrel will get a bit of a cash prize at the end.”

This was essentially a dry-run for the concept. Now Now Media is planning a series of Shootouts based on the same idea at some of the most incredible waves around the world in 2024 and looking to bump up the prize money significantly. The prizes are a nice way to recognise who was charging but it’s not about the money. There’s always so much stoke when waves like this are firing and anybody who gets a good wave out there is a winner the end of the day. The Shootout is essentially a celebration of that.

Chasing The Unicorn

Chasing the Unicorn traces the history of surfing in post-war Mozambique, while searching for a mythical sand-bottomed wave that lies along this tropical slice of East Africa.

Along the way, we meet Sung Min Cho and Julia Fernando, the country’s leading surfers, and get acquainted with Mozambique’s burgeoning surf culture that has risen up in the wake of 30 years of armed conflict.

The film, produced by Monster Energy in association with O’Neill, is an ode to adventure and a surfing nation on the rise.

Featuring: Sung Min Cho, Eli Beukes, Julia Fernando, Mikey February, Jordy Smith, Brendon Gibbens and others.

MONSTER ENERGY BOARDERSTYLE 2023 - T.I.L - BIG WHITE B.C

2nd stop of the Monster Energy Boarderstyle series was held at Big White ski resort in Kelowna, BC. This was the first time this event was hosted by this resort, and well the name says it all. First day of practice/time trails was a pow day and full whiteout. Thankfully it cleared out for the finals day and the boys put on a show! Our boy Adam had a couple broken ribs from the prior stop, Darcy had a hurting wing and the rest of the boys were full firing. Drinks, laughs and lots of good times were had. If you ever get a chance to go to one of these, pull up and come ride with the boys!

Thanks to the Monster fam for putting up such a fun series of events. Until next year!
