@urbnsurf in Australia just dialed-up this man-made slab. It’s called the The Beast and, according to URBNSRF, is “an intense, slabbing, sidewinding barrel that also offers sections for turns and airs.” This thick-lipped, chlorinated beauty can be yours for $79 per hour starting in January.

Remember @julian_wilson’s stratospheric punt? The one with Michael Jordan-esque hangtime? Well, it’s a 2019 Surfer Awards Best Maneuver nominee. For the full list of this year’s most progressive men and women above the lip, head to our site. Video: @jimmylees

“This one time, I had a board that was sticking so bad, so I just elbowed all these little divots into the bottom, from the nose all the way down to the concave,” explained @knostthankyou in Indonesia during the filming of “Handmade 2”. “And it worked. It loosened up the board and it turned really nice after that.” Hit our link in bio for a behind-the-scenes look at our latest film. Photo by @grantellis1.

“After nearly 30 years of surfing, it occurred to me recently that almost none of the best sessions I think back on fondly happened at famous waves,” @hzahorseman says about why surfing an iconic wave isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. “My best tubes have been at beaches that I don’t even think have names and dot empty stretches of the California coast. Turns I’ve done that I’m the proudest of happened at closeouts sloshing weakly beneath barnacle-crusted pier pilings at ho-hum state beaches. The longest waves of my life have been at unremarkable Baja pointbreaks far from everything, especially notoriety.” Hit the link in bio for the full article. Photo by @chachfiles.
