Day 3 Highlights | Vans US Open of Surfing 2018

Mikey February Becomes the First Black Surfer from South Africa on the World Tour

Mikey February qualifying for the World Tour is about a country gradually becoming what Nelson Mandela envisioned so many years prior. Mikey’s qualification isn’t just about a black person making it to the greatest show in surf. It’s about a country that’s healing. It’s about Nelson Mandela’s vision of achieving equal opportunity for all coming to fruition. It’s a triumph over circumstances. It’s starting your own ad agency when the rule of law stands against you. It’s believing in a dream and following it with reckless abandon. Mikey February is a testament to that.

NO CONTEST: Brazilian Backwash, bikinis, and budgie smugglers

In the latest episode of No Contest, Red Bull and Stab bring you behind the scenes at the Brazilian leg of the tour to talk backwash, acai, and ‘budgie smugglers’ from beautiful Saquarema.

After a so-so Aussie leg, more notable for sharks than shredding, and the contest held in Kelly Slater’s wavepool, Brazil just delivered the best event yet of the 2018 world tour surfing season. In and out of the water, the Rio Pro was a roaring success.

To give us the local rundown, we met up with Brazilian world champ Adriano de Souza to find out what’s delivered him his competitive edge over the years. Big wave lunatic Lucas Chianca checks in to give us the rundown on his beloved Saquarema, and magazine founder and all round debonair man about town Steven Allain explains some of the ins and outs of the Brazilian way of life.

As well as grilling the Top 34 on their knowledge of local clothing (or lack thereof), we hang out with Owen Wright, Matt Wilkinson and Adrian Buchan at an impromptu Cheeseburger Challenge surf-off, and carve big chunks of meat from the bone in celebration afterwards, with contagious smiles the order of the day.

Stop No.5 of the world tour sees the big dogs ready to launch in Bali, but before Keramas kicks off, why not reminisce one last time about the most surprising and satisfying locations we’ve visited this year. Hit play now to join the party, and just see how long you can last without wanting to hop on the next flight to beautiful Brazil. Enjoy.

Gone Tomorrow Australia

Australia was a blur.

There were too many waves. Too many pies. Too many late nights and early mornings. We spent time in three different regions. We did strike missions. We got chased out of the water by sharks. We got skunked. We got barreled. We got loose. We were there for over six weeks, but it all flew by in a flash.

Here today. Gone tomorrow. Forever in the now. See you next time, Australia.

The World Tour is back and so is No Contest: Gold Coast 2018.

Go VIP: Tyler Allen, the Quiksilver Pro and the biggest names in surfing

Site changes, surprising upsets, all time Snapper barrels and enough cold beer to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool. That’s right ladies and gents, we’re talking about the 2018 Quiksilver Pro!

Yes there is a heap of surfing, but what else goes on? Who’s in town? What else happens away from what we all tune into on the live feed?

Lucky for us we had our man on the ground, Tyler Allen (you may also know him as Donald Trump, Gabriel Medina and a handful of others) to catch up with the sport’s biggest names and get a unique perspective into what else goes on, away from the competitive arena. Put the next few minutes aside and get ready for a laugh!
