Radical Times in Hawaii

Hawaii. It’s big, it’s bold, and it’s reputation may be even bigger and bolder than itself. But all that aside, the enchanted island is diverse. From Muay Thai to Mai Tais, Waimea to Waikiki, Pipeline walls to highline stalls…there is something to suit everyone.

This year, our team attacked every angle. They stayed out late at night and paddled out before the sun. They did turns, punted airs and got barrelled. They rode everything from ten-foot slabs of concrete to twenty-foot slabs of unpredictable water. It was a bonafide Radical Time. So for your enjoyment, we thought we would combine these few weeks of bliss into an edit. Dig in, then start planning a Radical Time of your own to Hawaii — you really do owe it to yourself.

Western Australia. It’s red, it’s dusty and its raw. It’s the kind of place you can’t predict what will happen around the next corner. Cue Radical Times in WA, the Unpredictable Edition.

Taj Burrow retired. Matt Banting snapped his entire quiver. Mikey Wright went home on crutches (ok, with Mikey boosting the way he does, this one was kinda just a matter of time). Leonardo Fioravanti slayed World Champions on his way to the Quarter Finals of the Margies Pro. Sebastian Zietz surfed his way into world number 2. And Kanoa Igarashi, Jérèmy Flores and Wiggolly Dantas got chatted up by a big ol’ shark out Margaret River’s Mainbreak.

Radical Times? ... You be the judge.
