What's up

Ramps, Tubes and Beyond in the Mentawais | SESSIONS Two weeks in a boat plying the waves of the Mentawai Island chain is as good as it gets for a surfer, no matter your stance, your gender, or your preference for peaks or points. Maybe, just maybe, you’d prefer cooler water or the option for beach breaks but if these are your complaints then you’ll never be happy with your lot in life. Besides, if Red Bull’s favorite Basqueman Natxo Gonzalez, who made his name in the freezing waters of the Atlantic and at the world’s wildest beach break of Nazaré, isn’t upset with the state of play then honestly who would be? With conditions perfect our crew cast off the bowlines and set sail from Padang, in Sumatra, to cross the Mentawai Straight with sights set on any of the archipelago’s big name acts. And boy did they score, from Macaronis to HTs and all points and peaks in between. Natxo went toe-to-toe with Conor Maguire for the charger’s belt, while their high performance peers had a shootout for the ages in the young guns division. Aussie upstart Jarvis Earle met German-Costa Rican flyboy Leon Glatzer for the first time, and what better place to sound out a new sparring partner than in the world’s most perfect ramps? As for Californian Dimitri Poulos, he claimed over and again that he’d found his version of paradise, his actions more than matching his words. Izzi Gomez showed up and blew up, as is her way no matter the craft she’s atop, while Indonesian future star Bronson Meydi regularly stole the show in man a session, despite his little known status, proving once again he’s one to keep an eye on for sure. As for the headline acts, Adriano de Souza showed the kind of form that won him a much-deserved world title in 2015, while Caroline Marks demonstrated time and again that in tropical tubes over wickedly sharp coral she’s a force to be reckoned with. Think Caroline’s licking her lips in anticipation of Teahupo’o’s welcome return to the women’s Championship Tour lineup in a couple of weeks? Don’t just take our word for it though, get comfortable, sit back, press play on Taylor Curran’s epic eleven-minute edit and enjoy the show.

The World Loves Surfing | Best Of Red Bull Surfing 2021 What a year. 2021 was packed to the gills with everything the surfing world has to offer. Whether it be world title races, the biggest Teahupoo in recent memory or JOB charging pipeline on 5 inches of foam, 2021 surely had Its aquatic moments in the sun. Not to forget moments from life on tour with Caroline Marks and Kanoa Igarashi or Indonesian perfection from Kolohe Andino and Bronson Meydi. We think we can speak for the masses when we say 2021 shined a lot brighter all around than 2020

BECOMING BRONSON | Indonesia's Next Surfing Sensation Becoming Bronson tells the story of Bronson Meydi, the quiet Indonesian surfer with stardom looming on the horizon. Bronson Meydi was born in the Sumbawan village of Lakey Peak to an Aussie father and an Indonesian mother. While tradition suggests that Lakey Peak is a humble fishing town, it has been one of the surfing world's high-performance hot spots since the turn of the millennium. A short time later, Bronson landed and grew up in and around the world-class waves, watching some of the planet's best surfers ply their craft in front of a rotating flotilla of filmers and photographers. Although he would never say it out loud, Bronson's surfing began to make plenty of noise over the past decade. It didn't take long for visiting surfers to start taking notice of the welterweight local lad mixing it up with the pros and putting on a show for their assorted camera crews. Slowly but surely, sponsors came knocking and one day Indonesian surfing statesman Rizal Tandjung, whose son Varun is great friends with Bronson, offered to take the young gun under his wing in Bali and fast track his road to surfing success. Bronson's development since he island-hopped has been staggering: Bali is treating him superbly. Becoming Bronson announces the arrival of Indonesia's next great hope. Rizal followed local legends like Made Lana and started gaining Indonesian surfers recognition overseas. The next generation – Marlon Gerber, Garut Widiarta, Mega Semahdi, Betet Merta and friends – built on his legacy. Now we see guys like Rio Waida competing in the Olympics and racing up the WSL rankings with Bronson right behind him, happily flying along in his slipstream. When cinematographer Scotty Hammonds approached us about pulling together a Bronson profile piece alongside close friends Nate Lawrence and Sean Benik, we didn't have to think twice before saying yes. When Mick Fanning, Julian Wilson, Eli Hanneman and the one-and-only Kelly Slater signed on to testify to Bronson's talents, we knew we had a winner. Although Kelly claims in the movie he struggles to tell Bronson and Eli apart, as the pair of phenoms grow up their styles are becoming more distinct, and it's fair to say there are shades of Bruce Irons' legendary flair to the way Bronson now attacks waves. As you'll see in the edit, whether it's launching over the ramps of Bali's east coast to threading tubes on the Bukit Peninsula, or mixing it all up at home in Lakey Peak, Bronson's game is well rounded and getting better with every session. So please, get comfortable, hit play, and savour what will probably be your first encounter with Bronson Meydi. If you've been to Lakey Peak before, then savour the walk down memory lane while meeting the new hometown hero; if you haven't, then good luck resisting the urge to book the first possible flight to Sumbawa once you see how good Bronson makes it look.
