Banzai Pipeline - Hawaii

Pipeline's Next Star | Jackson Bunch

With the amount of content pushed along by the algorithm these days, it’s become increasingly difficult for a young surfer to stop the senseless scrolling. We’re numbed to Superman's in Waco, Indonesian cave-diving, and Nazaré wipeout compilations.

Hawaii’s Jackson Bunch looks determined to halt thumbs and look good doing it. In his Pipeline reel above, which is being published cleverly in June rather than February, Jackson shows both small wave acuity and balls of bronze. With a sturdy helmet, pink rails and plenty of guts, Jackson swings on the ugly ones at Pipe, pulls backflips at Ehukai Beach Park and lands and full rotations at Rocky Point.

The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez Trailer

From award-winning documentary filmmaker Stacy Peralta comes Patagonia’s The Yin & Yang of Gerry Lopez, a film that lifts the veil on one of surfing’s most enigmatic heroes. While “Mr. Pipeline” is famously known for his calm demeanor in the tube, Gerry built his career with aggressive surfing that left behind a trail of blood and tears. Gerry is as radical as he is Zen; he transcends categorization. He’s one of the most influential surfers and surfboard shapers of all time, an entrepreneur, a family man, a movie star and a lifelong yogi who brought surfing to new frontiers. His influence on modern surfing is immeasurable, and for the first time, his story is being told in full.

How Kanoa Igarashi Took The Yellow Jersey! All Kanoa's Excellent Waves From Pipe, Sunset, Portugal

Kanoa Igarashi is currently the World Number 1 ranked Surfer, which means he will be rocking the yellow leader's jersey when he hits the water at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach. Watch all his excellent waves from the 2022 season and see how he grabbed that most coveted rash guard.

Bells Beach means history and heritage for both surfing and Australia. As the longest-running event on tour, it is a proving ground - an unforgiving lineup that tests the endurance, power, and fundamental rail-to-rail surfing of today’s progressive athletes. The deep sense of history that echoes through the Bells bowl, combined with the pressure of the fast-approaching Mid-season Cut, makes getting a win and ringing “The Bell” one of the greatest honors in the sport.
