From CT veterans, to grommets, to the biggest personalities in freesurfing, Billabong have always been recognised for having their logo stuck to the boards of the most exciting names in surfing. What this means is that when they release a hype reel, you know it’s going to be entertaining viewing. As they do each year when the waters of the southern hemisphere begin to warm, they’ve dropped their ode to summer edit, featuring Creed McTaggart, Jack Freestone, Joel Parkinson, Italo Ferreira, Ryan Callinan, Tyler Warren, Ethan Ewing, Jack Robinson, Otis Carey, Griffin Colapinto, Kai Hing and Tai ‘Buddha’ Graham enjoying the spoils and freedom of surfing in boardshorts. Set to the 90’s flavour of Alex Knost’s band Tomorrow’s tulips, it’s a pair of minutes lavished with all forms of exciting surf action, with one righthand setup in particular stealing the show.
