A do not miss event...with one of surfings greatest characters and shapers.


DICK BREWER is to modern surfboard design, what Kelly Slater is to modern day surfing. A contemporary shaping genius who was himself an impressive surfer, Brewer has set the pace in surfboard design for five decades. His designs have affected every generation since the '50s; his boards have been ridden by the sport's best, including Eddie Aikau, Buzzy Trent, Jeff Hakman, Gerry Lopez and Reno Abellira, to Garrett McNamara and Bruce Irons today. The son of an aircraft machinist, his exceptional handcrafting skills and understanding of outlines, contours and edges continues to translate surfboard "blanks" into highly functional - and collectible - pieces of art.

The first south swell of the season has NOT been disappointing

The south swell has finally arrived and is showing signs of possibly being one of the best swells of the whole summer.

With swells like this lighting up an island chain, the only dilemma is deciding where to surf given the direction, the tides, and of course the crowds.

   

The ocean has been full of energy and waves, but what else is out there?

There are over 470 species of sharks and they have been living on Planet Earth for 420 million years.


The smallest shark - the dwarf lantern shark - is only 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) in length, while the whale shark is the largest specie in the world, with approximately 12 meters (39 feet).

Sharks live in all oceans down to depths of 2,000 meters (6,600 feet). Usually, they do not live in freshwater with the exception of the bull shark and river shark.
