What's The Deal With...?

Surf News & Updates

What’s the one piece of gear I shouldn’t cheap out on?

Your wetsuit, hands down. A good, flexible suit that keeps you warm is the difference between a two-hour dawn patrol session and a miserable 30-minute dip. Cold water drains your energy and stoke fast. Investing in a quality suit from a reputable brand means better seams, warmer neoprene, and a fit that doesn’t chafe. It extends your surf season and your time in the water, which is the whole point. Don’t let being cold be the reason you paddle in.

What’s the best all-around board for a surfer with a one-board quiver?

You want a good-time, middle-of-the-road shape. Look for a hybrid or “funboard” in the 6’8” to 7’6” range, depending on your size. Something with a bit of rocker for steeper faces, but enough foam and width to paddle into anything. A rounded pin or squash tail offers a sweet blend of drive and release. This is your go-to for anything from knee-high to a few feet overhead—a true daily driver that keeps you stoked in most conditions.

What’s the deal with surfboard materials and the environment?

Traditional polyurethane foam blanks and polyester resins are pretty toxic, both to make and to throw away. The green shift is towards bio-based resins, recycled EPS foam, and even algae-based blanks. More eco-conscious shapers are leading the charge, crafting performance sticks that are easier on the planet.

Surf Travel Adventures

How can I respectfully engage with a surf community as an outsider?

Start by being a good human in and out of the water. Pick up some trash, support the local shaper, and maybe buy a round for the crew after a epic session. Listen more than you talk. Show genuine interest in their spot and their stories. Don’t act like you own the place. Earn your stripes through respect, and you might just find a new home break.

What Should I Pack for a Week at an Upscale Surf Resort?

Pack light, but smart. Bring your favorite boardies and a couple of rash guards. The resort will have premium sunscreen and maybe even hats. Definitely pack a go-to leggy or warm wetsuit top for dawn patrols. Include one nice outfit for a fancy dinner night. Most importantly, bring multiple pairs of board shorts—nothing worse than putting on damp ones! They’ll have the tech gear and boards, so just bring your stoke.

What’s the essential gear for a family surf adventure?

Beyond boards (consider soft-tops for safety), rash guards are non-negotiable for sun and rash protection. Don’t forget reef-safe sunscreen, a solid first-aid kit, and plenty of water. A good beach tent or umbrella provides crucial shade for land-lubbers. For the groms, a properly fitted leash and maybe some surf booties if it’s a rocky entry. Pack a few extra towels—you’ll always need ’em!
