Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

Surfboard: Solo Guitar Works from Brazil by João Kouyoumdjian

The latest board from Tomo pushes surfboard design again. Having it under your arm puts a huge smile on your face, the anticipation of surfing it is almost too much! We had a chance to have a quick surf on a 5′ 5″ and although smaller than you’d choose here’s what happened: even at this small length it paddled really easily, even in choppy conditions the nose didn’t catch. The sheer width of the thing meant it paddled in nice and easy and felt fast, popping up the board feels super stable but very lively.

Shapers Australia have kindly agreed to allow me to share this short video I made with Al Byrne last year. AB was talking to me about the range of tools available from Shapers which are required to hand shape a surfboard from a foam blank. I only edited the footage a few days ago, and it reminded me how funny, passionate, witty and knowledgeable a man Al was. A lot of laughs behind the scenes on this shoot, I will put together a video of those moments soon.
Tragically, AB passed away recently after an accident in Bali, but all will remember him as one of life’s characters.
The godfather of the six fin channel, Al has had a major impact on the surfing world, both through his own Byrning Spears label, as well as through the ongoing work of shapers he has mentored. Towing in on big Hawaiian waves at 60 years of age, Al Byrne is an inspiration to us all.

One Small Step for Surfers…One Giant Leap for Surfing. Tuesday’s first test event at the Surf Ranch in Lemoore, California, proved to be a milestone in the evolution of pro surfing with Gabriel Medina and Carissa Moore taking top honors. Surfing is now ready for the next step, and the ability to dial up perfection anywhere at anytime changes the game even more.
