If you have ever thought that your surfing sessions and/or style could benefit from a cross-training regimen, then you more than likely have heard of the original Carveboard. To call this thing a skateboard would be an insult to both boards … so let us get the fact that this is NOT a skateboard out [...]
A few days ago I was waiting at the water’s edge for a break in the swell, trying to organise my timing so I could get out past the massive wash that was about to hinder me as I paddled out. The swell was solid and the sweep was still really strong and there were [...]

This was our original first choice as THE number one surfer’s accessory for the holiday season, but it eventually slid down to number 2 on the list since we could not have a tie! We mulled it over for a lengthy period, but we stand by our decision. That being said, Soma Airbag Designs has [...]
