What's up

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 ----------------------------------

G Skate Demo Tapes: Australia The G Skate Demo Tapes' Australia edition follows Pat Gudauskas for a week as he meets up and surfs with fellow CI Teamriders Wade Goodall, Jordy Lawler and Kalani Ball. They lucked into week of cooking surf while all riding the same design Pat had worked closely with his brother (Dane and Tanner) and Britt Merrick. Some opted for Spine-Tek construction for that added pop and performance through turns. For the Oz boys it was their first time riding this new design, and the range of "very good" to "good average" surf allowed them to feel out a range of possibilities with this shorter railed design. As you'll see, this skatey style board allowed them to draw some very creative lines at high speeds. This edit captures the radical surfing that went down during those sessions. The goal of the G Skate project between the G Bros and Britt was to create something fresh feeling that turned well in good surf but skated with ease through the not-so-good stuff. There was one major stipulation during its development: the G Skate had to still perform at the highest levels possible. They achieved this by shortening their typical shortboard rail line by 5” and adding curves and contours in key places that would keep them on top of the water and not hinder their turns in any way. Adding a 2 + 1 (twin plus trailer) fin set-up tied the whole concept together. The G Skate has a lot of get up and go speed thanks to its light single to double concave, low entry rocker, wide point forward—and its contemporary shortboard rails provide all the precision and control you could ever want. This stoke-infused collaboration also yielded an all-new Merrick / Gudauskas 2 + 1 fin set for the G Skate, and they also found that the AMT (2 + 1) fin set up works very well. The purpose of this twin plus trailer fin set-up was to offer the beautiful “free feel” of a twinnie yet have the refined control of a thruster—which is critical in creating a board that accommodates the broad spectrum of approaches between all three G Bros. For those that prefer traditional thruster set-ups, their favorite 3-fin set will work well in this design—giving surfers twice the options and value. The G Skate serves as a strong utility piece in any quiver where fun and performance are the goal. Ride this board 3” to 6” shorter and the same thickness as your CI Pro.

DNA: The Colapinto Brothers Siblings are said to share about 50% of the same DNA. The 50% that Griffin and Crosby Colapinto have in common appears to contain detailed information about how to ride a wave — or perhaps that came from growing up at Lowers. Either way, it’s working. 23-year-old Griffin won his maiden CT event earlier this year, then backed it up with another, and, at the moment, is ranked 3rd in the world. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Crosby has spent the last few years progressing at an absurdist rate, and people noticed — including Stab. He was invited to Stab High in 2020 and won the Pipe Masters portion of last year’s Digital Triple Crown. Crosby is already capable of the type of surfing that wins CT heats, and he’s poised to make a CS run and join his brother in the big leagues. This is the focus of Stab’s new film: DNA: The Colapinto Brothers, presented by Monster Energy
