Watch: Ryan Hipwood In “Inspire”

Hippo is one of surfing’s most tubed. And, that’s hard not to like. 

Two years ago, he became a father, and with fatherhood, Ryan began to analyze why he surfs for a living and the balance between being a family man and chasing the biggest swells around the world.

So in conjunction with Dan Norkunas of Take Shelter Productions, this eight-minute furnace titled, “Inspire” was born.

If shallow rocks, backless waves and tunnels fit for school buses are your fancy, bring that cursor to the play button.

From Oz to Jaws to Fiji to Zach de la Rocha and Tom Morello, this is well worth you’re time.
