<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kepa Acero puts it on the table, he's used to long journeys. According to Google Earth, the wave had all the potential to be a new Skeleton Bay. Even more so when the largest swell of the last 25 years was heading towards the small Indian island, which was difficult to access. Accustomed to the fact, Natxo Gonzalez, Kepa Acero and Aritz Aranburu took their courage with both hands and braved the Indian authorities to try to score what they thought was a perfect new wave. And despite the difficulty of the language, the hostility of the local authorities and many other obstacles, the Basque trio managed to get there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The result was... surprising! A perfect wave from afar but in the end, far from perfect. Not to mention, unsurfaced. However, the trio will leave this trip with eye-popping images, with the bonus of a night under the stars.</span></div>

<b>The history of surfing is full of memories, surfers, moments, 
travels and unforgettable waves. Each decade, since the birth of 
surfing, offered us trends, developments and new frontiers.</b><br />
<br />
It was always hard to express how we feel when we ride a wave. 
Fortunately, there are catchphrases that were born in the surf culture 
and will remain forever alive.<br />
<br />
Call it mottos, sentences, quotes, phrases or guiding principles. 
Some words, when put together, stay in our salted brains forever. But, 
which one's your favourite surf catchprase.<br />
<br />
Someone said that "<strong>only a surfer knows the feeling</strong>". With "<strong>no waves, no glory</strong>" and "<strong>drugs, no thanks I'm a surfer</strong>". All we know is "<strong>when in doubt, paddle out</strong>". For some, "<strong>life's a beach</strong>", for others, "<strong>life's a wave</strong>". Someone said "<strong>work is for people that don't surf</strong>". We might agree and "<strong>if it swells, ride it</strong>".<br />
<br />
In crowded surfing days, "<strong>if in doubt, paddle out</strong>". That might be the only wave available. In big days, "<strong>Eddie would go</strong>" and he would certainly keep saying "<strong>just one more</strong>". "<strong>I surf because...</strong>", I believe "<strong>surfing is life, the rest is details</strong>". Surfing has several rules, too. When "<strong>surf's up</strong>", you'll simply "<strong>drop in, pull in, kick out</strong>".<br />
<br />
<br />
Once you're "<strong>shooting the curl</strong>", don't forget: "<strong>a bad day surfing is better than a good day working</strong>". That means "<strong>the best surfer out in the water is the one having the most fun</strong>". In Apocalypse Now, Colonel Kilgore said "<strong>charlie, don't surf</strong>", but never mind. "<strong>Hang ten, dude</strong>" and scream out loud: "<strong>stoked!</strong>"

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How many gigantic walls have we seen it fall down at Jaws, Nazaré or Mavericks? At the age of 26, Kai Lenny is constantly pushing the boundaries of fat surfing. This year, the Hawaiian took advantage of the XXL swell like no one else. Tubes, carves, air, big waves have become his playground. Remember, the free surfer had already shared with us a completely crazy video about his best waves of the winter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In his new edict, Kai changes his angle. With his Go Pro, he takes us to the heart of the most monstrous tubes on the planet. So when you see the surfer being swallowed under tons of water, you think you're pretty good on your side of the camera. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The professionals make it look so easy, surfing the waves like they are masters of the sea. However, surfing is not as simple as it can look, and there are quite a few things to learn before you hit the surf. It is all about your center of gravity, keeping your body and your board in tip-top shape, and being aware of your surroundings. If you are still struggling to master your technique, take a lesson to improve your skills or check out our tips and tricks below for improving your surf style. With patience and perseverance, and plenty of practice, you can easily avoid our top 5 common surfing mistakes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your Body: Physical fitness is important for surfing, and you will need stamina and endurance to ride the waves with success. It would be a mistake not to keep up with your cardio and before you surf, make sure that you stretch your body and warm up those muscles in preparation. It is also essential that you keep your swimming skills up to par, around <a href="https://www.surfingaustralia.com/" target="_blank">2.38 in every 100,000 surfers in Australia drown. </a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your Board: One of the most common mistakes that beginners make is choosing the wrong board. Whilst a smaller board is more lightweight, a bigger board allows for increased stability. Save the smaller boards for later when you have mastered your technique and speed becomes important.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Proper care and maintenance are also essential, and it is recommended that you wax your board regularly. It is also important to remember that different wax is better suited to different climates. Finally, do not drag your board along the beach, this is a sure fire way of spotting a newbie as small rocks could easily cause damage. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Technique: One of the most common reasons for slipping off your board is poor technique, but start with the basics and practice on dry land before you set off. Keep your pop up focussed, and do not attempt to hold onto the rails as this will result in the board becoming unstable. Keep aligned with your center of gravity, bending low at the hips and try to remember that standing too far back or too far forward can <a href="https://www.australia.com/en-gb/aussie-news-today/latest-from-down-under/life-hacks/learning-to-surf-your-guide-to-surfing-etiquette.html" target="_blank">cause your board to flip</a>. Incorrect paddling can also easily result in a wipeout, so practice your paddling technique and get tips from more experienced surfers on how you can improve. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your Safety: Safety always comes first, but thankfully surfing-related injuries are relatively rare, with <a href="https://www.groupon.com.au/vouchers/surfstitch" target="_blank">only 2.2 injuries per 1000 days</a>, 45% of which are due to the surfer coming into contact with the board. Don’t underestimate the water; learn as much as you can about the different types of waves and the optimum conditions to surf. Also, be aware of any rocks or reefs in your vicinity, as hitting these could result in injury. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Surf: The water can be unpredictable, but by learning as much as you can, you can reduce the risk of danger. Be aware of your surroundings, always look where you are going and learn <a href="https://beachsafe.org.au/surf-safety/ripcurrents" target="_blank">how to spot a rip current.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To avoid a total wipeout, don’t look down as this can throw you completely off balance. Timing is everything, and another common mistake is catching the wave right after it breaks. Practice your paddling technique, particularly your burst paddling, to ensure that you are putting enough power behind it.</span>

This location contains waves for surfers of all kinds, and its consistency is why it’s so popular. Also once home to songwriter Jack Johnson, people come from all around to watch professional surfers ride tube waves that rival those found in Hawaii.</span></div>

However, once you find that sweet spot, you’ll be surfing some of the best waves of your life. With amazingly flawless, reef-pass tubes, it’s easy to see why it’s such a great location to surf. However, you’ll find it’s not only secluded but expensive to get to. You’ll also find a sparsely crowded beach when you get there.</span></div>

That’s what you can find here. It’s an area where surfing dreams are made. Definitely not a place for beginning surfers, but absolutely perfect for seasoned surfers looking for a large wave to surf.</span></div>

But if you need other words then try these: Expert surfers come here for rides up to 300 meters long. It’s also the best right-hand ride in the world.

This beautiful, gigantic pipeline wave is the wave that every surfer dreams to surf. While most surfers will never be good enough to surf here, it’s okay to dream about it and visit, even if you aren’t skilled enough to surf these waves, they are still an amazing sight to behold.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"On the Colombian Pacific coast, in the Chocó region, the surfboard has replaced the psychoanalyst's couch. To heal the traumas of a violent past, young people are undergoing surf therapy. An action with a strong ecological dimension". Emmanuel Bouvet knows what he's talking about. Together with his wife Carine Camboulives and his 2 daughters, he travelled to two of Colombia's most remote and least visited regions: Guajira on the Caribbean coast and Chocó on the Pacific coast. Simply because surfing trips should not be just a round trip from the airport to the spots. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Of course there are perfect waves lost in the jungle and windy lagoons in the middle of the desert, but it is above all exceptional initiatives in the field of sustainable development and social peace that Carine, Emmanuel and their two daughters share here with us. To meet those who, on a daily basis, protect our environment. </span><br />

The team lets guess some (very) heavy with Filipe Toledo, Barron Mamiya and Yadin Nicol. Together, they explore the slabs of Latin America. An infinity of barrels, committed airs and laughter, that's what a Hurley team surf trip looks like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And what about the latest wave of Yadin Nicol... "Wave of travel" according to Toledo. "I give him a 9.33 because he had a GoPro in his mouth and he didn't finish his wave. It's very important to finish your wave!" Filipe, Barron and Yadin on a trip, it's the guarantee of an explosive week. The perfect mix of high standards, carefree and experience. </span><br />

The best surfers can anticipate a wave while it is still barely there in the eyes of less skilled surfers. </span></div>

It is not something you can learn overnight or something you can learn just by reading about waves. Here’s a few tips to get your technical surfing expertise started, that is if you aren’t an pro already.</span></div>

The way waves break can change depending on the tide. </span></div>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

In other areas, high tide may cause those large waves to break down before you’re able to surf them due to there being too much water. </span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

You may find larger waves or more hollow waves. The waves might start breaking further out from the shoreline. </span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 16pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Learn Wave Shapes</span></h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">You can watch a wave begin as a mound or a lump far out in the ocean. As the waves get closer to shore and begin to break, watch for the shape and direction of the break. There are a few different shapes to look out for.</span></div>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Left:</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"> To clear up any confusion, the direction in which a wave breaks is based on the perspective of the person riding the wave. When a wave clearly breaks to the left, you should generally ride it to your left.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Right:</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"> Again, this from the perspective of the surfer. When a wave breaks to the right, follow the wave to your right.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Closeout: </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">You cannot ride a closeout wave to the left or right because it begins to break evenly across the whole wave and “closes out” all at once. Some very experienced surfers can ride a closeout before breaks but generally, closeouts are hard to ride since the whole wave breaks at once and if you’re attempting to ride it you’ll usually end up heading back toward shore.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">A-Frame:</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"> An A-frame wave has a dip in the middle and two distinct left and right sides. You can ride either side successfully. These are especially good waves because two surfers can ride the same wave, one on the left and one of the right.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 16pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Find the Peak</span></h3>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Look out at the horizon and watch for lumps. Those will be your incoming waves. If you can find the highest part of the wave, also known as the peak, you’ll know where the wave is going to break first. You then want to paddle out in the direction of the peak. </span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

You can still ride the wave if it breaks before you reach the peak, you will just have to ride closer to the shoulder of the wave and it won’t be as long of a ride.</span></div>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 16pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Figure out the Speed of the Break</span></h3>

The straighter the angle the more likely the wave is going to become a closeout.</span></div>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Beginners generally want to find a wave that is slower to break so they have more time to follow along with the shoulder of the wave.</span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 16pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Watch for Consistency (or Inconsistency)</span></h3>

If peaks are all over the place and waves are breaking in many different spots, you are going to have to move around and be more mindful of when a wave is beginning to come in.</span></div>

Begin with these tips but the best way to learn how to read waves is to get out there and surf. You’ll find that the more you surf, the more you pick up on what the waves are doing and which ones you should try to catch.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The young Australian winner of the last Volcom Pipe Pro last February has earned his place in the Volcom team! Jack Robinson is only 21 years old and already his future in surfing seems destined to be a success. A hardened tube rider and loader in his spare time, Jack was well trained by the wild Australian waves of the west coast and is now skillfully adapting to the competitive format.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Teahupoo, Pipeline, North Point.... His prowess in the most technical spots around the world quickly made him famous. As a child he already surfs the biggest barrels of the West Oz with a disconcerting confidence....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing is for sure, Hawaiian Jesse Johnson is not afraid to step off the reef. He chains barrels at low tide at Desert Point, all in a golden light.... Everything okay with you, Jesse? Indonesian scenery of the most dreamers with a water level so low that the fins must practically scratch the reef. While others slip into the smallest, and most perfect, tubes we have ever seen....</span><br />

JAMIE O'BRIEN ALMOST KILLED HIMSELF IN A PIPELINE

Best Of, News, Pro Surfers, Video, WeAreSurfers 7:29 AM

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"I just hit the reef with my head and I don't remember anything," says Jamie O'Brien in his video as he is escorted out of the water.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Hawaiian may be one of the most experienced surfers in Pipeline in all types of conditions, but he has just passed very close to death in waves of 5 to 6 feet!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At that moment, Jamie can't even remember if he took a right or a left, because he was unconscious for 36 seconds after his fall. He also doesn't know if he hit his board or reef.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When he comes out of the water he just complains about having "dilated eyes" and finds that he has a large opening in his skull.    </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vQsTP1X5W00" width="560"></iframe><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In his vlog, he thanks those who saved his life, including the one who made the floating suit that allowed him to come to the surface and avoid drowning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">O'Well still went through the hospital where it took 9 staples to glue back a large piece of scalp that was detached from his skull.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the video below we can see the wave in question at 2m40, but we warn the sensitive souls that the end sequence is a little gory...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don't worry about Jamie, though. Today everything is fine for him, he even went back to surfing 3 days later with a little aluminium tape around his head!</span><br />
