What's up

Pumping April PIPELINE Continues, GABRIEL MEDINA + ITALO Shredding At Home In Brazil | SURF BREAKS NORTH SHORE ON THE COOK Hard to imagine a better place to be quarantined right now than the North Shore. The swells have been pouring in along the Seven Mile Miracle, and the local crew has been scoring. Buddies Nathan Florence and Koa Rothman have been psyching on the best April Pipe conditions since, well, ever ... The other Koa … Koa Smith … has also been in on the action. TYLER WRIGHT ON SURF OFFS Earlier this week, WSL CEO Erik Logan unveiled a new vision for how World Champs will be decided starting next year. It's going to go down during a one-day surf-off with the winner take all … and 2x World Champ Tyler Wright is fired up. WSL REWIND: FRANCE 2014 And while we're on the subject of Tyler Wright this week WSL Rewind is flashing back on the 2014 Roxy Pro France and Wright's near perfect performance in the Final. And don't miss John John Florence's demonstrative performance in the all-time Hossegor conditions as he goes on to take only the second win of his CT career. SURFRIDER WINS IN SUPREME COURT And in the good news department, the Maui Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation just won a big decision in the United States Supreme Court. In a 6-3 ruling, the court stood in defense of the Clean Water Act. This is a big win for Maui, and sets precedence for the protection of other coastlines.ITALO TURNS UP THE HEAT AT HOME Italo Ferreira has been posted up at home in Brasil riding out this crazy storm. And with surfing still permitted in his area, he just dropped a new edit he's calling "Rough Times." Shot in black and white, it showcases the World Champ keeping the vibes up and making the most of the wedges at his local beachbreak. MEDINA IN BEAST MODE And from one Brasilian World Champ to another, pre-lockdown Gabriel Medina was in beast mode at home at Maresias. Barrels, full-rotation airs, big power hacks, his surfing is nothing short of mind blowing. And how about that new black spray on those Cabianca surfboards? JOAN DURU'S COMEBACK Last September Joan Duru broke his collarbone surfing a Portugal slab called "Crazy Left". Right before the beaches in France were closed, he was well on his way to recovery, back charging crazy double-overhead tubes. And for more from Hossegor, starting on Wednesday WSL Rewind will be dipping into the 2014 Quiksilver and Roxy Pro. HBD JEREMY FLORES AND ROSY HODGE And finally, a very happy birthday to a couple of our favorite people, Jeremy Flores and Rosy Hodge. Hope you guys are having a great day.

Surf Ride Oceanside Crowned as Southwest Surf Shop Challenge Champs | Oakley Surf Shop Challenge After losing the Southwest title to Sun Diego Mission Beach in 2017, Surf Ride Oceanside found redemption and solidified their spot at the Oakley Surf Shop Challenge National Championship in Nicaragua. Cooperating winds and a new SSW swell building throughout the day made conditions at Seaside Reef in Cardiff, CA on Tuesday, May 22, 2018 prime for the twelve competing shops to battle for top southwest honors and the coveted ticket to Nicaragua. With less than one and a half points separating the top three teams in the highly contested final, competitors were on edge as the final surfers tagged up to take to the water. In the end, Surf Ride Oceanside managed to squeeze out the win by a mere 0.34 over their fellow North County San Diego shop rivals Surf Ride Solana Beach. “That was the most exciting final I’ve ever seen,” says Surf Ride Oceanside’s Gabe Garcia, “we’re all super amped to go to Nicaragua!” The 2018 win marks the seventh Southwest regional Surf Shop Challenge title for Surf Ride Oceanside. (2018, 2016, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2009, 2008) Congrats to Surf Ride Oceanside team members Gabe Garcia, Dayton Silva, Simon Hausmaninger, and Chris Murnane on taking the Southwest win.
