Finding New Waves After a Volcanic Eruption With Dylan Graves and Friends

Imagine losing your local surf zones to a volcanic eruption. It all disappears: lineups, parking lots, check spots, every little thing. There’s no future for any of it — just a memory. Or is that totally the case? In this challenging episode, Dylan visits Poho’iki on Hawaii, where in 2018, lava flow buried the home of a thriving surf culture, along with the town itself. It’s where renowned scientist Cliff Kapono loved to surf, and where after three years of avoiding the place, he takes Dylan on a surf check of a coast that’s vanished forever. Yet where new land is formed, now hope often springs forth, and when the two along with some of Cliff’s fellow Poho’iki crew go hunting waves along the new shoreline, they find a kind of blessing. This is a great and quite profound episode of an always playful show.

River Surfing In Africa With Harry Bryant, Mikey Feb, and Dylan Graves | 'Go Easy On The Zambezi'

So what if we told you that there was dreamy, three-foot wave that broke for hours—days, even—deep in the African continent, which only appeared suddenly twice a year? And what if we regretfully inform you that this might be the very last time it appeared?

Watch as Harry Bryant, Michael February and Dylan Graves go to Africa to tame the mighty Zambezi River. Catch the full film "Go Easy On The Zambezi" exclusively on Stab Premium.

Breaking Waves: Queer Surf | Surf | VANS

Welcome to Breaking Waves, a series shining a light on often overlooked and polarizing social issues and topics within surfing. In this inaugural episode, Vans pro surfer and Weird Waves host Dylan Graves explores the stereotypical perceptions that often exist within surf culture, as he seeks to learn more about the LGBTQ+ surf community and understand how surfers can become better allies. Follow along on Dylan’s journey as he links up with San Francisco’s Queer Surf—an organization advocating to create safe spaces at the beach and in the water— and explores how to make surfing more welcoming to everyone.

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.
