Surfing is considered one of the most eye-catching sports, but you've never seen anything as sexy as Maud Le Car's surfing. This cute professional surfer tackled the waves in high heels and shorts! At the same time, it not only looks sexy, but also creates the impression that surfing is the easiest thing in life. Much easier than walking on Fridays.
One thing is clear when looking at Teahupo'o in Tahiti from the air - surfing or "surfing" in French Polynesia is no joke. In drone footage, cameramen Brent Bielmann and Eric Sterman highlight the dangers and beauty hidden in the waves on a small tropical island.
Waves. The eternal variable for surfers on the water. One time they are too big, the second time they are too small, the third time they are not there. We recently wrote about the surfer paradise Snowdinia, a reservoir lake with artificial waves that carry surfers up to 150 meters and remove many variables from the equation. What if we told you that you can now take the waves out of the equation? That you can also surf on the Slovenian coast, whether there are waves or not? This is what the Onean electric surfboard offers, which is ideal for all those who don't have the patience to wait for the right wave and would like to glide across the surface of the water wherever and whenever they want.
Surfing is closely related to the weather, so every surfer regularly looks at the sky, or better, at the horizon, and looks out for suitable waves. From now on, they will no longer have to get up early for a perfect "session", adapt to the weather, tides and other things they cannot control. The paradise for surfers is no longer Morocco, nor Australia, the mecca for wave lovers is now Snowdinia in Wales, a lake with artificial waves that carry you as much as 150 meters!
The Bond stuntman, a contemporary of Evel Knievel and holder of many records, has taken his incredible antics on a motorcycle to a whole new level. Because if Jesus walked across the Sea of Galilee, Knievel's reincarnation, Robbie Maddison, rode the waves off the coast of Tahiti on a motorcycle! Don't believe it? Check it out for yourself!
The beginning of summer, vacation, packing and going to the sea, mostly to the Croatian coast. This is the classic formula of a Slovenian holiday. But where can a surfer or someone who would like to learn to surf the waves go? Here, we should not mix windsurfers and real surfers who catch waves on the open sea. Few people know that there are much more of them in Slovenia than it seems at first. Even less that there is even a surf scene with clubs, courses and sports federations and competitions. The first and most successful Slovenian surfer is the Argentinian Slovenian Jože Žurga, who caught his first wave in the early 1960s. He is considered a legend of surfing in South America, but unfortunately the gentleman was not a pioneer on the local scene and on the nearby Adriatic coast. Thus, according to the Surf Federation of Slovenia, the boys who set up the first surf school and club in 1999 - Ujusansa - are considered the pioneers of organized surfing at home.
Surfing or "surfing" has never been so easy. We don't need any more strong waves, just a Lampuga "surfboard". Thanks to the electric motor, even an average surfer can enjoy the sea waves.
Melbourne, Australia's Victoria Harbor may soon be richer for a floating surf park that allows you to ride waves up to 1.5 meters high. Architecture studio Damian Rogers is planning a 160-meter-long heated pool, where it will be possible to create artificial waves in a controlled manner.
Although the word surfing has taken on a new meaning in the last two decades, displacing even the original from the top spot, surfing, whether on the water or online, remains a leisure activity that is much more difficult to master than clicking and scrolling a wheel on a mouse. And since surfing is one of the coolest sports, even celebrities can't resist its charms, even if they are a mismatched 'couple' with a board.
Tin Barbo Gruden came to Portugal just over four years ago, as an Erasmus student, and stayed there. Surfing, the ocean and the Portuguese way of life inspired the creation of the Surfgasm Lisbon Surf Club, the Erasmus Housing Lisbon agency, which rents out apartments to students, travelers and tourists, and the cultural association ArtCasa, which connects and represents the cultures of countries such as Portugal, Cape Verde, Italy and Slovenia . If we are in a hurry in Lisbon, Tin is the man who will open his doors wide and show us Lisbon through his eyes.
Laird Hamilton is a surf legend and legends never die! This is obvious because he challenged fate in a very special way and impressed the crowd of spectators.
