Norfolk breaks are fickle and this place is the ficklest of them all. @sideshoredrift once perfectly summed up this break with these words "If I told you the truth about this wave and what it requires to happen you probably wouldn't believe me". It takes a very precise combination of swell, wind, tide and daylight to work. Today wasn't quite as precise but as I pulled up and saw white water breaking a couple of miles off on Holm Sands I instantly knew that is was pretty bloody close. The cliff top was lined with the usual suspects. A few hoots, a couple of winces and the occasional "spit" was ..read more

Whether it’s lighter surfboards or more flexible wetsuits, surfing has come a long way and at Xcel, we’ve seen an evolution of how nutrition has changed along too. For the weekend warriors or surfers who only make it out a few times a year, there’s always room to improve as a surfer. In this article we’ll talk about 5 ways to help you be a stronger surfer and up your nutrition game. Surfboards are lighter, wetsuits and trunks don’t give you a guaranteed rash, maybe you prefer to even wear a wetsuit because your skin can’t handle the elements of the ocean.

A warm body not only helps you surf better, you’ll be staying out there longer and lower the chance of injury. Here are a few ways one can warm up in the winter before paddling out: Breathing exercises Oxygen fuels our body, so increasing our ability to send oxygen through ..read more

https://youtu.be/RjPBW4__xtk And we are back! After a lengthy, lazy…and somewhat hazy, break, we have returned. For two and a half months, we’ve made you wait, but to be brutally straight, it’s really quite great. Episode 6: Good ol’ fashioned surfing flicks, just for kicks. The action starts back in Hawaii, with Ian Crane and The Cola Brothers thrashing about, out front, along the most famous stretch of sand and reef on Earth. Bouncing between Off The Wall, Backdoor and Pipe, Crane and the Brothers make everything feel fun, easy and all right. Hassling, hollering, hot dogging and even the odd ..read more

With the amount of torque Rasta puts into his fins we added more carbon to the twins and updated the foils for all the fins in the series. The twin + 1, keel, and qua ..read more
