Drive Thru USA - Episode 1: "We Got Dane"

Drive Thru USA takes you back on the road with some of the world's best surfers as they spend two weeks traveling to some of the best surf spots and most pristine coastlines in America.

Drive Thru 10 begins and sees the crew in San Clemente picking up the final member of the trip, World Tour Surfer Griffin Colapinto. After loading up the RV , Donavon and Benji get the crew up to Ventura to meet legendary surfer Dane Reynolds and convince him to jump on the Drive Thru.

Out Front: Santa Barbara

Lodged between the majestic Santa Ynez hills and the mighty Pacific Ocean, Santa Barbara County is a lot more than its marquee wave, Rincon, aka the “Queen of the Coast.” It also has about a half dozen other world-class righthand pointbreaks in its corduroy pockets — as well as numerous options just south. In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch at all to call SB the most powerful surfing kingdom in the continental United States (even without the “Surf City” moniker).

Dane Reynolds is Two Happy

Britt Merrick worked with Dane Reynolds and Parker Coffin on developing this board. The Two Happy takes all the high-performance speed and flow of the original Happy but makes it more accessible and user-friendly for a broader range of surfers and conditions. With added entry rocker and increased double concave, the Two Happy is looser, rolls rail to rail more easily, and carves better in the pocket. Our team describes the board as exceptionally fast, responsive, and under the feet. The fuller rails and wider, thicker tail block provide ease of paddle, ride, and acceleration. To enjoy all of our state-of-the-art shortboard performance design characteristics packed into one easy-to-ride and accessible board, look no further than the Two Happy—now available at your local surf shop or cisurfboards.com.

Our Fav Sections From Pentacoastal

Pentacoastal dropped in May, yet its relevance has persisted into the depths of 2020.

One could say this is due to a large lack of surf content as a result of stringent travel bans, but that’s simply not the case. While difficult, plenty of surfers found means to travel whilst adhering to social distancing and quarantine guidelines, taking boat trips to the Mentawais and many a Brazilian enjoying aquatic Maldivian delights.

Wade and Shane's Pentacoastal has remained relevant due to the sheer quality of their film.

See above for proof.

Hosted by Selema Masekela and run a month before the remainder of competitions in Los Angeles, surfing at the X Games kicked off a stacked summer of competitions in 2006.
