SURFER Jeopardy! "Tournament of Champions" is going live tomorrow on our YouTube at 7:00pm PST. Don't miss these surf nerds battle it out for a new Seaside model from @firewiresurfboards. Hosted by @jonathanwaynefreeman.

Our new cover pays homage to a 1984 surf travel classic. Sweet, timeless escapism when we all need it most. The second issue of SURFER’s 60-year anniversary volume couldn’t have landed at a stranger time. But in this moment, there’s something comforting about the two cover images above—one of Kevin Naughton (@dirtbagtravel) leaping from the bow at Cloudbreak, captured by Craig Peterson in 1984, and one of @dylandafish driving through a barrel at the very same break in 2020, captured by @nickliotta. From wars to economic crashes to pandemics, a lot of world-altering events have transpired in the 36 years between these two covers. But this perfect wave and surfing’s ability to buoy us in times of hardship remain unchanged. Issue 61.2 is en route to mailboxes and on newsstands now. Hit our link in bio for editor @todprod’s intro.

This wave ain't Jaws but it sure as hell is death-defying. Hit our link in bio to watch @cocom4debarrelkilla and @sheldoggydoor narrowly escape skinnings from this practically dry lava rock slab. Filmed by @riordanpringle.

"I’ve heard it described as a high-risk and high-reward style of shooting," says SURFER staff photographer @chachfiles about speed blur photos. "But when it all comes together, a speed blur or a ‘lazy shutter’ as it’s affectionately referred to by many lensmen, can be one of the coolest ways to capture a moment frozen in time — albeit, at a much slower speed than you would normally otherwise." Hit our link in bio for Chachi’s favorite lazy shutter images and his tips on how to create your own.

"This is not an easy wave on your backhand," photographer @kimfeast_ says about this fickle West Oz wedge. Local goofyfoot @jackthomas.15 has it wired though.
