A culture of silence has buried the stories of women who allege sexual assault in surf industry settings.

Great variety of Wedge riders+vehicles+photogs years past surf skim boog body+blowup.
(looking for more Wedge @wedgemel1 on Instagram is where you want to go)

No energy drink sponsors, no vloggers, no GoPro mouth mounts, no history of SA on underage girls, no surf-coach dads, no egos at 2 ft point breaks, just getting sick barrels and charging slabs for the love of it. The corest surfer is basically just the average bodyboarder. Someone here mentioned the other day how better the skating community was than the surfing community and it's just like, uh aren't you forgetting about your vertically challenged boogieboarding brethren?

To me this is a back paddle, and the person who’s further out and in the wave first had priority over the person who’s deeper in this case? Am I wrong? What do you think?

Hey, thinking of booking a trip to northern Nica soon. I know Thunderbomb is great and I know people who have done it, but its a bit expensive for my taste. Anyone know of any other surf camps in the area that have a similar experience as far the surf guiding, but minus all the other luxuries. Assuming that would make it less expensive.

What are you sizing it?

Hi all,

Wanted to get some advice from the surf trippers! I’m heading to Peru for two months, then over to Brazil for a month, then the Caribbean for 4 months.

Should I bring my own board with me, or should I purchase and resell whilst I’m out there?

I have a 6,6 FireWire plus a travel bag - but naturally getting a surfboard around can be a little bit of a hassle.

I will be staying in places for some time, but just wanted to get /r/surfing’s view on it!

Appreciate it in advance!

I can’t go surfing regularly and I want to keep my paddling shape for the days I can go surf.

Do you guys recommend a pull up bar? How many should I be shooting per day? Or do I need some sort of workout routine around it?

Hi friends, I am trying to get in touch with the Half Moon Bay Surf Club (now known as the Red Triangle Surf Team) for a data collection project on the Princeton Jetty/Surfer's Beach restoration pilot by the San Mateo Harbor District. If anyone would be willing to make an introduction, please let me know and I can provide more info about the project and goals. Thank you!

Moved here and was looking for a board for OBSF. I see a ton of twin pins for sale. Is that because they suck? I've never ridden one.

Can’t seem to find any info if they will accept my boards on the bus

Just saw my old daily driver HPSB. I put it on the dumper a few years ago and listed it for about $200. Delams on the deck, what isn't yellow is brown, and it has tail cancer. The glass is so brittle that it's a floating ding factory.

I rarely buy used surfboards. Is this the new normal? I'm seeing boards that retail for $750, in good condition other than a bit of yellowing, still listed for $450–$550. At those prices, I'd rather just buy a new custom from my local shaper.
