It’s hard to keep up with the constant drip of new surf content. Pro surfers are media machines. Blink and you’ll miss another new edit.
Rather than continually refresh your YouTube homepage, we’ll curate a list of the best surf action, and then drop it all in one post at the end of each week. Scroll below for your comprehensive list of the best edits from this last week.
1) Koa Smith Scores Bali
Koa Smith spent a week in Bali and scored back-to-back swells at Padang Padang. Despite it being the most crowded wave on the island, Smith got more than his fair share.
2) Jack Robinson Tears Apart DBah
Remember when Jack Robinson needed to work on his small-wave game? Us either. Since winning his first CT at Barra a few years back, he’s been one of the most well-rounded surfers on tour, winning CT stops at every type of wave. Above he demonstrates why.
3) Meet 16-Year-Old Chopes Charger, Jacob Turner
Nobody brings us closer to Teahupo’o than Tim Bonython. Using a mix of RED camera and POV clips, Bonython’s edits are the next best thing to being in the boat during an XL day in Tahiti. Side note: 16-year-old Jacob Turner is already next level out there.
4) Behind-The-Scenes in Brazil with The Colapinto Bros
You see Griffin and Crosby Colapinto rip on the WSL webcasts. But what goes on behind the scenes at the CT events? These Cola Bros comp wraps are always entertaining viewing. If you weren’t already a huge fan of these two, watch this and you will be.
5) Joao Chianca is Back
João Chianca went from relative obscurity to a Top 5 surfer on the CT in a few short years. In this very good 30-minute film from Red Bull we “ride shotgun on Chianca’s journey, from the initial high of making the WSL Championship Tour to the crushing low of not making the mid-year cut in his rookie season. We then follow Chianca on his resurgent requalification run, onto his first big Championship Tour win the following year, before he eventually finishes 2023 ranked fourth in the world and qualified for the Olympics. Disaster strikes in Hawaii before the first event of the 2024 season, as Chianca prepares for the biggest year of his surfing life….”
