Strike Missions: Pa'dentro! | Episode 6 | O'Neill

O’Neill Strike Missions is a film series documenting Team O'Neill’s surf adventures across the globe. It’s all about tracking swell and striking when the time is right, hoping the gamble pays off and the risk is worth the reward. In the end, the journey is often as memorable as the destination.

In Episode 6, we follow Team O'Neill Athletes Cory Lopez, Eli Olson, and Noah Wegrich south of the border as they track down a southern-hemisphere swell to a region filled with a variety of sand-bottom, rifling right-hand points.

WELCOME TO THE TEAM: KOLOHE ANDINO | O'NEILL

We are excited to announce the latest addition to Team O’Neill, Kolohe Andino. Born and raised in San Clemente California, Kolohe started out as a successful amateur surfer and holds the record for most NSSA titles won with nine overall. Further developing as a top-tier professional, Kolohe first qualified for the CT in 2012 at just 18 and has enjoyed a successful career both as a competitive and free surfer. From being the first American to qualify for the 2020 summer Olympics in surfing to directing, producing, and starring in his latest film, Reckless Isolation, Kolohe continues to thrive as one of the world’s best and most exciting surfers.

When asked about joining Team O’Neill, Kolohe said, “The thing that gets me the most excited about the brand is being aligned with a company that has its roots planted in surf. To me, O’Neill feels like one of the most core brands in the world. In my life, everything revolves around surfing and being in the ocean and those two priorities bleed through the O’Neill brand.”

Sitting alongside Jordy Smith, his good friend Ian Crane, and the rest of Team O’Neill, we couldn’t be happier to welcome Kolohe Andino to the team and can’t wait to see what the future holds.

SILVER LININGS starring Jordy Smith | Episode 5 | O'Neill

"When I woke up the next morning and realized I had to get surgery, everything kind of sunk in." - Jordy Smith.

With the realization that something wasn’t right and the subsequent diagnosis of a grade 3 torn LCL requiring immediate reconstructive surgery, Jordy’s year quickly flipped upside down. Unable to continue the World Championship Tour, his position in the world title race was compromised, and competing in the 2020 Olympics was no longer a reality. But Jordy being Jordy, focused on the challenge of rehab and getting back in the water.

Episode 5 is a unique insight into what it takes to be a world-class athlete and two action sequences that are evidence that Jordy is back and ready for 2022.

'Silver Linings' is a series starring Jordy Smith. The episodic journey covers the incredible highs and devastating lows Jordy experienced in his life over the past 18 months. From entering fatherhood to scoring the best waves he's seen at home, to facing a near career-ending injury forcing him to pull out of the Olympics, this series documents the rollercoaster ride Jordy has been on and the 'Silver Linings' that he encounters within his journey.

GAP YEAR ft JORDY TURANSKY

Born and raised in Cronulla, Jordy Turansky follows in a long line of iconic Southside surfers. Legends such as Occy, Greeny, Matt Griggs, Richard Dog Marsh, or current WSL tearaway Connor O’Leary and hard-charging Kipp Caddy. The area has always been synonymous with great surfers and big wave chargers.

Jordy seems to be fitting into both sides of the equation.

Small in stature, but going big where it counts, Jordy has been sharpening his game on waves of consequence in and around his local reefs now for a few years. To consider he didn’t start surfing until he was 12, is a pretty impressive feat. 6 years in and he’s swinging on waves that most of us will never even want to look at. Currently 18 yrs old, he was to finish his HSC school year at the end of 20, planned on going to Indo and Hawaii in 2021, but COVID and travel restrictions re-routed his strike mission to local shores.

So he packed up his swag, his boards and wettys and headed out into the unknown with Kipp Caddy, (surfer) Sam Venn ( photog) Cameron Staunton ( filmmaker). From southern NSW, Victoria, South Oz, comes GAP YEAR.
Countless hours in the car, near-death wipeouts at remote reefs and plenty of good times with good friends.

Jordy has a large future ahead and we salute those who get up, get going and get amongst it.

GAP YEAR.

Silver Linings Episode 2 – RETURN HOME

In Episode 2, Jordy finds himself on a long return home to spend the winter in South Africa for the first time in 14 years. The surf at home didn’t disappoint, “I swear you don’t want to be anywhere else in the world than right there.”
