Cloudbreak On Fire! Fantastic Fiji barrels with two swells back to back Summer in Fiji is HOT. The days are longer, and the sun feels like it’s suspended directly above you — which in early February, it pretty much is. Sit for long enough in the open water lineup at the amazing Cloudbreak Reef, and it’ll feel as if your eyeballs are about to fall clean out of your head. Yet for two and a half days last week, that’s what a bunch of very good surfers did: sat there as long as they could stand it, because Cloudbreak wasn’t just hot, it was on fire. The reef is exposed to south and SW swells moving up from deep storms in the Southern Ocean and travelling up between Australia and New Zealand — out of the cold and into the tropics. A three to four day journey during which they grow clean and straight, yet hang on to that South Pacific energy. Easterly trade-winds complete the picture. This doesn’t often happen in February. It’s a Southern Hemisphere winter thing, and February is tropical cyclone time in these parts. But when a couple of very off-season storms flared in Fiji’s sweet spot, a happy few jumped on various planes and got there just in time to ride. In the lineup: Ian Walsh, Balaram Stack, Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Nathan Hedge, Dean Morrison, Max Beach, Che Slatter, Eden Edwards, Sean Lopez, Tosh Tudor, Ben Wilson, Navi (surname), Dane Snelton, and quite a few more. At the end: A lot of tube time, a lot of sunburn, and if a few dozen eyes were sore, nobody seemed to mind. Filmed and edited by Hannah Anderson, additional footage by Scott Winer, ski pilot and writing by Nick Carroll.

Was 2022 the BEST Year of Surfing? | BEST OF SURF 2022 What a year. 2022 was packed to the gills with everything the surfing world has to offer. Whether it be seemingly endless historic Teahupoo swells, world title chases or just good ole' free surfing, 2022 surely had a taste of it all. Not only did Teahupoo fire on all cylinders multiple times this year, but the WSL world tour stop featured nothing more than a spectacle, with local wild card Kauli Vaast securing his spot in the final heat. We can't forget moments from Kolohe Andino in New York, Leo Fioravanti at home in Italy or the rise of women's surfing phenom Caity Simmers qualifying for the 2023 tour. We can keep rambling on, but we think the video speaks for itself. Toss that popcorn in the microwave and settle in for the wild ride that was the Best of Surf in 2022.
