Australian Slab Tour – James Carew

After years of not having the time or the resources, we finally hit the road for a slab tour at home.

We linked up with a couple mates chased swells up and down the coast, and managed to score some pretty sick sessions.

Australia has so much to offer when it comes to surfing, and it was amazing to finally take advantage of the world-class conditions on offer. From long days on the road to early morning missions and heavy slab sessions, this trip was packed. Thanks to everyone who helped us out, shared waves, and made the journey one to remember.

We hope you enjoy coming along for the ride. There’s still so much more on offer down in Aus so if you enjoyed the video let us know and we can hit some more slabs!

IT NEVER LEFT – strapless big air is not dead

Tim Sermon and Louis Gossart :

We’ve been working lately on a kitesurfing video project with Nomadic Sea focused on strapless big air.

We wanted to show that the discipline is still alive and that we’re still pushing ourselves to improve and progress.

We shot it in the insane Cape Town wind conditions this February, and we’re really stoked to finally share this project.

Switching between kite and wing sessions, the two riders score clean swell in one of the most isolated places on earth. A trip driven by commitment and pure freedom.

Kitesurfing in Platboom and Yzerfontein, South Africa – Appletree Surfboards

Platboom and Yzerfontein are two of South Africa’s most iconic and demanding kite spots. Cold water, heavy swell, and pumping wind.

For this session, Sanka chose the Apelviken 5”2. This board was designed from the ground up specifically for lightweight riders. It features a thinner rail and a narrow tail for ultimate control in big surf, while the flatter middle section helps pushing upwind through heavy currents. A balanced all-rounder that stays snappy and responsive without needing a lot of body weight to turn.
