And now, it’s time for another installment in Octopus’ storied history of surf parts that you do not, and must not, miss. 

This one comes from a South African man with rubber joints and a style that brings pleasure to the retinas, Brendon Gibbens. 

The clip features a good mix, in many regards. BG has a deep bag of tricks, he hits a handful of locales and, hell, he even surfs in everything from boardshorts to a hood. With that sort of range, it really ought to inspire all of us to go out there and try something fun on a surfboard. 

The clip is playing exclusively on Stab Premium for the next seven days. Keep an eye out for a catchup with Brendon dropping later this week. 

Oh, and Octopus wants to hook you up with some gear. In the comments below, regale us with the tale of a time when you did not have your shit together in terms of surf gear. Ex: surfing finless because you forgot a key, no-towel-changing in an inappropriate place, an awkward experience bumming wax, etc. 

The most upvoted comment will win a prize pack from Octopus that will ensure you at least have your traction and leash game covered.
