Cloudbreak Is Probably the Best Wave in the World – Here’s Why Kelly Slater has said that Cloudbreak is the best wave in the world. We agree. The Mechanics of Cloudbreak is a 15-minute dive into the science, sentiment and legendary moments behind one of the world’s most iconic waves. Featuring Tavarua director Jon Roseman — who’s spent four decades surfing and stewarding Cloudbreak — and Surfline chief forecaster Kevin Wallis, we uncover what makes this reef so magnetic: ideal swell angles, precise bathymetry, shifting winds and subtle quirks. Together, they reveal why Cloudbreak delivers magic -- from two feet to 20. ----------------------------------- Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_cconfirmation=1 Become a Surfline Premium Member: https://surfl.in/2Cd36tF ----------------------------------

Eddie 2024, Best Rides Of An Iconic Day The Rip Curl Eddie Aikau Invitational, starring winner Landon McNamara, Luke Shepardson, Billy Kemper, Jamie O’Brien, Ian Walsh, Jake Maki, Ross Clarke-Jones and Joey Cadiz. Riding big Waimea Bay is both a wild adrenaline rush and a quite subtle game of inches. You’re playing cat and mouse with an uneven rock ledge and a lot of swell energy, and you’re riding a board way bigger than you are. All the elements scream “CHARGE!” Yet even as you’re charging, all kinds of tiny things are happening. Little shifts of the board underfoot. Wind holding you up a fraction longer than you thought it might. You draw a simple line and it works, or it doesn’t. There’s a deep layer of grace and beauty under the wildness, and nowhere was it plainer to see than during yesterday Rip Curl Eddie Aikau Invitational, when the next generation of big wave greats showed all the skills and qualities this amazing event asks of a surfer. Here’s some of the best rides of an iconic day — and a word or two from Uncle Clyde Aikau, keeper of the flame.
