Love this series but no way would I be 'surfing' any of these places.

Love it! The secret to happiness seems to be keeping the brain at the level of a stoked grom.

On a more serious note, that's a glimpse of the future once Californication is complete. Crowds so thick that surfers will get pushed into extraordinary niches (see the Longboarders out the back trying to get a wave at that last spot?!)

Loved the backwash part. Total carnage, and enough variety to keep it interesting.

personally i found it rather depressing ......is this the future of surfing or the now........cant see that backwash thing being rewarding in the long term.

If I'd worried more about the future back then, I'd be far less worried about it right now.

Clearly the world is super saturated with surfers,

These guys need to use their brain, forget the rocks, back wash etc.

Go find a new sport.

Simba / Logical are you guys for real? These people are literally just playing in the water. Let them have their fun. It's not the 'future' of surfing and the world is not 'super saturated' with surfers. Geez, lighten up. Keep these clips coming. They're great.

That was brilliant! So stoked just watching it, and reminds me that there's joy in more places than we might think. Love this series
