After @john_john_florence's knee injury threw a wrench in his 2019 Title campaign, he decided to set sail on the open ocean during his recovery. John, @nathan_florence and a crew of friends documented their high seas adventure in "Vela", a new series that premiers tomorrow. We rang up the 2x World Champ to talk about sailing the Pacific, surfing alone and his new show. Hit our link in Bio for JJF's interview and how to watch "Vela".

@koloheandino22 is in the hot seat next for "AMA From More Than 6-Feet Away". So pepper this 'CT vet and 2021 Olympian with whatever questions you've got in the comments below and we'll send them his way. Check back on Monday for Brother's answers. Photo by @tallteef.

Tasmanian photographer @nickgreenphoto was embedded on the North Shore this winter with @vanssurf as part of his 2019 @followthelightfoundation award. He’s compiled his work into a beautiful photo book that’s dedicated to the people he met, places he went and memories he made during his first trip to the North Shore. “O’AHU” is limited to only 150 copies, hit our link in bio to cop one.

There's something special about watching a surfer tear apart the waves he grew up on. South African @jordysmith88 shows visitors @ian_crane and @solibailey some local hospitality in @oneillusa's latest "#StrikeMissions: A Pocketful of Rand". Hit our link in bio to watch the trio chase surf accross the Rainbow Nation's beautiful, rugged terrain. #FirstNameInTheWater

A quick look at the Surfline cam this morning found empty Lowers peelers for the first time in….50 years? Longer? The biggest south swell of 2020 so far, going untouched at the most rippable peak in the United States. Incredible, really. That is, until roughly 11:30 a.m., when two cowboys decided to roll up on the Lowers lineup in a small boat. The lifeguards weren’t having it. Before the pair of surfers could even catch two waves, they were ordered out of the water. First over the loudspeaker by trucks on the beach, then by a lifeguard on a longboard. Quickly squashing the question: Can you surf Lowers by boat? Eventually the boat was capsized by a cleanup set and the surfers were hauled off by authorities. Head to our site for more.

In 1971, Trestles was finally opened to the public after surfers spent decades sneaking around the U.S. Marine Corps' strategies and tactics to keep them out. Earlier this evening, Trestles was closed by the California Department of Parks due to Covid-19. Photo by @markclavin.

@josh_kerr84 wants your floaters. Upload your clips to @stompsessions’ free DIY learning tool for side by side comparison to Kerzy’s. On April 20, Josh will pick the best floater and post it on his Instagram. Float the boat! Presented by our friends at Stomp Sessions.

Tube savant @jackrobinson_official took the scraps from his @snapt4 part and strung together a hard-hitting edit of b-roll. If these are his throw-aways, then what the hell is he holding? $40,000 is on the line for “Snapt 4”, watch Robbo’s cut and learn more about the forthcoming film on our site.

@craig__anderson makes this organic ramp look more user friendly than Waco. Hit our link in bio to watch Ando and @benjamin_howardd hunt South Oz slabs and air sections in "Nonsense", the latest cut from @former.
