While You Were Sleeping | Bite Size!

You probably saw this on Thumbwerk last week or maybe elsewhere, but here it is in higher-rez bliss. Brad Domke, planing down the face of a weekend-ruiner. That ain’t nothing to play with.

Eighteen-year-old Lucas Silveira loves the grit of the sand. This is a young man who enjoys commitment and closeouts. At the world’s heaviest beachbreak. Good show, ol’ sport.

A 20 year old swimmer has died and a surfer has been left in critical condition after being struck by lighting at Venice Beach this afternoon. The Thunderstorm was brief but intense, with cloud to ground Lightning lasting just 15 minutes but claiming one life and injuring at least 13 others. The storm was violent enough for the National Weather Service to urge those in the LA area to stay indoors. As one witness said, “That ain’t nothing to play with.”

Okay, while goofyfooters Cyril Inauen and Roland Hauser don’t do effortless like Craig Anderson, you can’t fault these gents when it comes to pioneering a new stationary wave. With this much water tearing down a flooded European river (we don’t call out secret spots! Even inland!), you gotta hand it to the boys diving in from the bank, dodging flotsam and then dropping hammers amongst the junky lips.

Bali is sure attractive as a new home for many. It’s cheap, it’s warm and it’s wave-rich if you’re prepared to get busy. Adam Bennetts is a pro(ish) surfer and a DJ and doesn’t miss to many “swell events” around Indonesia. Here’s what he did during the last three to hit in June and July.

Outkast are in Northern NSW right now for Splendour In The Grass, in case you didn’t know. After crushing at Coachella, they’ve brought their reunion tour to Oz’s favourite three-day party. And, Three-Stacks surfs! He rides goofy! Bombs over Burleigh!

Cheap laughs, like cheap thrills, don’t last all that long. But, if we can break you from the ad nauseam that comes from a saturated surf media (#jadedfridays) for just this 15 seconds, then we’re doing our job.

Yet another clip of Shane Dorian getting barrelled somewhere exotic with his GoPro. Gent sure knows how to live. Here’s two-and-a-bit minutes of sublime POV footage from a session with not one breath of wind.

Why does J-Bay constantly have to prove itself as a world-class wave? Let’s just all accept that it’s good, and move on. Thank you. Now here’s 14-year-old Sebastian Williams showing you how to surf it, rather phenomenally might we add.

Oh, you haven’t seen the Coffey sisters ruling social media? You haven’t seen the bikini shots and the brown skin? We think you’re lying, honey. Anyways, The Daily Mail have spotted the sisters and have a story on the Gold Coast surf family. The story is mostly image-based but there accompanying words are great. Here’s a particularly good line from the article: “Just like Kim Kardashian, Ellie-Jean is a big fan of a pouting pose and has so far earned over 300,000 Instagram followers with her bikini snaps.”
