For the last seven years, the No Contest crew have been embedded on the World Championship Tour, taking you behind the scenes at each location and exploring each scene’s culture, characters, food, and community.

Our Editor at Large, Ashton Goggans has spent the last three years hosting No Contest: A full-length travel series. This year, he and the No Contest crew — Duda Saracura, Jim Prola, Drew Little, Sam Moody, Dylan Roberts, Giulia Avila, Jimmy Lees, and a slew of local and international filmers — have an entirely new direction: Off tour, exploring six international locations from the North Atlantic to the South Pacific, the Eastern to Western Mediterranean, and Central and South America.

The first three episodes just dropped on Red Bull TV.

You can watch the first episode on site here

New York City: Starring Balaram and Mary Stack, Kolohe Andino, Chris Gentile, Joanie Capetta and Benny’s Club, Diane Cardwell, and Mike Nelson and Dave Juan from the inimitable East Coast institution that is Unsound Surf.
