“I’ve wanted to surf second reef, doubling-up Lances my entire life”

In this just-released edit, we are gifted ring seats to the three-time NSSA champ, runner-up to Zeke Lau’s Ultimate Surfer and part-time model Koa Smith charging like a bull at Lance’s Right aka Hollow Trees, the premier righthander in the Mentawais.

The behelmeted Smith, born in Kauai twenty seven years ago and a student of Bruce and Andy Irons, surfs with the contented and dreamy look of the female suckling her young as he dominates some of the best waves in the world including, but not limited to Teahupoo, Skeleton Bay and Pipeline.

And, here at Lance’s, Smith gets into it with all the gusto of a veterinarian getting into the glistening chancre in a show mare’s dock.

Essential.

Jackie Dorian employs his razzle dazzle on Oaxaca’s famous sand-bottom points!

In this fourteen-minute featurette from Jackson Dorian, the sixteen-year-old son of Shane Dorian and godson of literal God Kelly Slater, we find the preternaturally talented kid employing his razzle dazzle on Oaxaca’s famous sand-bottom points.

Many highlights, too many to mention as per all of Jackie’s edits, but it’s the chemistry with the noted board collector and stylish obese shredder Uncle Buggs that is perfect; Jackie, a little dynamo, Buggs, perhaps three times his volume, drawing Curren-esque lines.

And, some of the roll-ins Jackie gets at the five-and-a-half minute mark, ooowee-oo etc.

Stylistically, this short is like Jackie himself: bold, quick and effortlessly entertaining.
