What's up

Six of the Best Goofy-Footers to Ever Ride Pipeline Before @wave_of_da_winter_ , before social media, and before the internet connected the surf world, a handful of goofy-footers quietly built legendary reputations at Pipeline. These were the years when respect in the lineup had to be earned, and the pecking order was real. Six of the best goofy-footers to ever ride Pipeline through the 1980s, 90s, and into the 2000s were Derek Ho, Tamayo Perry, Shawn Briley, Braden Dias, Liam McNamara, and Randall Paulson—If Wave of the Winter had existed back then, these guys would have been serious contenders year after year. @bradendias from Kauai, moved to Oahu in his late teens and quickly made a name for himself at Pipe. Within a few years he worked his way into the lineup and spent more than a decade charging North Shore swells with style and confidence. @_.shawnbriley._ North Shore-born and nephew of Owl Chapman, used his strength and front-foot power to drive through heavy sections and foam balls, getting spit out of some of the wildest barrels ever seen at Pipe. @liam__mcnamara started surfing Pipeline at just 15 in the mid-80s. With the lineup stacked, he pushed deep into the heavy zone (known as Wakita Peak), earning waves in one of the most dangerous sections of the reef. @paulson.randall coming from Honolulu, earned his place in the lineup by going steep and deep, hunting the same iconic barrels where the top guys held the line. Two legends who are no longer with us: Tamayo Perry, a true Pipeline warrior who spent more than 30 years mastering the break, and Derek Ho—world champion, Pipe Master, and the first Hawaiian world champion. His perfect 10 at the 1986 Pipe Masters remains one of the most iconic waves in Pipeline history. Decades from now these names will still be spoken with respect. They earned their stripes during some of the most raw and heavy years Pipeline has ever seen. Video Credit: @nalufilms / @fluid_vision / @reardontim

Pertama: The Rio Waida Story A film by Matt George and Fabian Von Holzen Nusa Cana, a legacy rum brand from Indonesia, had a unique idea when it came to making a short film on their brand ambassador Rio Waida. With Rio Currently ranked 20th in the world and a household name in Indonesia, Nusa Cana wanted to dive deeper into the origin story of Rio and his against-all-odds rise into the top ranks of the pro surfing. Not just your standard clips and chaos edit, the company, who remained the sole funder of the project, wanted to take a far more personal approach in order to feature the spirit of Indonesia as much as the incredible surfing of Rio Waida. Reaching out to Filmmakers Matt George and Fabian Von Holzen, the resulting collaboration was a very different vision for today’s surf media. Here is a film that slows things down and allows a very unique surfer to share his life, the challenges he has faced and his inner spiritual thoughts as he moves into the future on his hero’s journey.
