Rivvia Projects : 2023 Japan Tour

Recently we launched Rivvia Projects in Japan. I headed over there myself to celebrate the launch and enjoy everything this amazing country has to offer. Japan has always been one of my favourite destinations to travel to. The incredible people, the beautiful culture and the waves! We scored some really fun sessions with friends (real and artificial) and my long-time filmer and best mate Jimmy Lees captured it all to show you guys. Hope you enjoy it.

Let us know below in the comments and I'll pick a few and throw some Rivvia Projects gift cards around so you guys can grab some stuff.

Thanks for being a part of the journey.

Kehu Butler and crew SCORE the Gold Coast [SESSIONS]

Every surfer knows about Queensland's point breaks. If you’re lucky enough to have surfed them, you'd still need extra luck to have caught a wave from the maddening crowd. If you haven’t made it to Australia’s Gold Coast, you’ve no doubt dreamt of Pacific corduroy swells lining up to the horizon, before breaking flawlessly down the ruler edged sandbars that run from Snapper Rocks to Greenmount through Coolangatta and on to Kirra. On its day you could argue that the Superbank is the greatest wave in the world, with those best days falling in the Australian summer, with the cyclone season running from January through May. Waves throughout the rest of the year are common but never the type you’ve dreamt about… until now.

With Australia entering a third straight La Niña pattern for only the third time in recorded history, the flooding has been Biblical and the waves have started breaking like never before. Literally. As the Challenger Series got down to business in Portugal, on the other side of the planet the points started rifling and surfers couldn’t believe it as the Gold Coast came alive in October. Julian Wilson came down from the Sunshine Coast to open up Jacob Wooden’s Sessions edit, while a list of the Gold Coast’s past, present and emerging greats tore into the freakish swell. Everyone from local legends like Joel Parkinson and Dean Morrison got their fill, core warriors such as Nick Vasicek and Asher Pacey turned up the volume, while longtime Aussie performers like Mitch Crews, Soli Bailey and Wade Carmichael all delivered the kind of performances you’ve come to know and love. Throw in a cameo from new Gold Coast resident and world number three Jack Robinson and the waves didn’t stand a chance.

Josh and Sierra Kerr proved they’re the best father-daughter combination in the game and will be for years, lighting up the points then loading up the jet-ski and heading over the seaway to the Gold Coast's favorite sand-spit island, and its miles of empty beach break barrels. Here they were joined by Morgan Cibilic, Jacob Willcox and New Zealand’s greatest export Kehu Butler as the waves continued to fire. We round things out back down in Coolangatta, with man of the moment Reef Heazlewood showing he’s still got game in salt water, even as he breaks the internet with his recent chlorinated wave pool exploits.

There’s something for everyone in this fresh cut, so whatcha waiting for? Hit play and soak up the greatest October run of waves in Gold Coast history. Enjoy.
