South Pacific Is Backwards

I thought South Pacific was simply taking a swell making holiday, but it’s so farked up that both Stormsurf and Scripps’ current models show a storm traveling east. That aught to light up some rare New Zealand breaks.

More from the Wend Blog... An Oregon surfer was run over by a powerboat, which severed his arm. As if the risk of shark attacks up there wasn't enough!

Holy shit. One of the guys from WEND magazine is going to go 3 months without consuming ANYTHING that has 1 time use plastic associated with it... No coffee lids, cellophane wrapped anything, packaging, salsa containers, yogurt, straws, dish soap containers, toothpaste, etc.
Noble but nearly impossible goal. Read more about this stunning attempt at cleaning up our oceans at the Wend blog.

CJ Kanuha is desperate for money. So desperate in fact, that he tried to standup surf a wave generated by falling lava. Taken alone, that might just have been some ballsy playing around, but it's pretty clear from the fact that he and a photographer payed for a helicopter so they photograph it, that it's a big publicity stunt. From the photos it looks like all he got from the effort was melted wax and burned shins. Hilarious.
