Breaking Boundaries: World Premiere Followed By a Q&A With The Vans Surf Team Cast | Surf | VANS - June 22 at 5pm PDT / 12am (midnight) UTC

Vans presents the new surf documentary, “Breaking Boundaries: A Surfboard Drive for Trinidad & Tobago.” Breaking Boundaries spotlights pro surfer Chris Dennis and his ongoing efforts to provide underserved youth in his native country with access to the same escape he credits with saving his life - surfing.

Through close friends and Vans family members Dylan Graves, the Gudauskas brothers’ and their Positive Vibe Warriors Foundation, Chris hosted a surfboard drive for Trinidad & Tobago and collected over 200 surfboards. Building on this support, Chris officially founded the non-profit surf therapy program Waves for Hope - Trinidad in 2019.

Chris’ program is not only providing a recreational platform in the ocean for kids, but he is literally saving lives by keeping the local youths off the streets. As a result of the Board Drive, the interest in surfing has grown throughout the community, kids have a way to express themselves positively and creatively, as well as a means of staying out of trouble.

Through this project, the PVW foundation and Chris’ spirit, the board drive has set to alter the course of Trinidad & Tobago’s sporting history while enabling the youth to take a healthy and creative path through Surfing.

Vans Surf Presents Pentacoastal Trailer - Coming May 14

Coming May 14th, 2020. “PENTACOASTAL” was inspired by the tonalities of Australian cult cinema. Directors Wade Goodall & Shane Fletcher have
merged these filmic elements within the body of a surf film through emotive animations, an undulating soundscape, and a
subliminal narrative which follows a quasi-recursive map depicted by a pentagram drawn on the map of Australia.

“A recollection of Australasian exploration following a quasi-recursive map, with elemental moments of expressive wave worship.”

Featuring Wade Goodall, Dane Reynolds, Harry Bryant, Nathan Fletcher, Pat Gudauskas, Dylan Graves, Nathan Florence, Tanner Gudauskas & Kyuss King

The Top 10 Surf Clips From the Month of February

After 30 days of combing through an impressive amount of profile shorts and jaw-dropping freesurfing edits, we've finally compiled and ranked the top 10 surf clips from the short month of February.
Jack Freestone took top honors with his flawless Kirra ride during the barrel fest that was Cyclone Oma. Runner-up Barron Mamiya dropped his latest edit "Mind" right before the turn of the month, showcasing his inimitable backside tube-riding. His stylish double hand-drag at Cloudbreak earned him the No. 2 spot on the list. Aussie youth Toby Mossop's seemingly never-ending barrel warranted him the No. 3 spot. Italo, Yago, and Chippa's high-performance aerial antics got them in the mix. And remember Parko's enviable drainer at Off the Wall in Griffin Colapinto's recent edit? That landed him at No. 6.

Why Jeffrey's Bay Is The Surf Tour's Favourite Stop. | No Contest

No Contest goes off as the world's best surfers tackle the world's best pointbreak. Come backstage to dance with the Devil Wind and get up close and personal with the ocean's heaviest locals.
Every year the world tour rolls into South Africa, and every year something happens that stops surfing's world. In 2017 we gasped as Filipe Toledo put on a seminal performance, alongside a perfect 20 from Jordy Smith. The year before we gasped at Mick Fanning's epic comeback victory, 12 months on from his infamous run-in with the most dangerous local of them all. And this time around it was the addition of the women's field to the draw, as well as another incendiary effort from Toledo, that will keep the chatter alive long into the future.
