Right now, there are a few tow teams out in the biggest, meanest Mavs we’ve seen in a long time. @andrew_cotty just got towed into this monster wave by none other than @jeffclarkmavericks. For the numbers-obsessed, as of 9am, the Point Reyes buoy hit 24.6 feet at 20 seconds. And as the tide dropped, it got heavier. Visit @surfline for more info. 12.28.2023

How fast ? SUPER FAST 🚀 reliving the feeling of going straight to the bottom of one of the biggest waves of my life on #worldoceansday . Let’s be reminded to protect our blue planet, all the marine life and amazing waves on it.

‘Just one more’
Pretty much guaranteed every surfer has said this to themselves or to someone else at some point !
This wave came right after one of the heavier beatings of the session. I was rattled, tired, hurt, and close to heading in.
Then this was my ‘just one more’ which turned into three or four after 🤣🌊🇮🇪

Digging into the archives and thinking of doing a big wave stories series 🌊
Big wave clips from a chapter that shaped everything. Been working on putting together a longer form YouTube series, talking about the days, the moments, and where I was at in my career. What motivated me, what pushed me, how I was feeling. The full in-depth story, not just the highlight.
This one from the early days at Mullaghmore in Ireland#surfing is still one of my all time favourite waves. Cold, dark, raw 🖤🌊
This is just a taste, would you watch the full YouTube series? Let me know in the comments 👇

Every month as a kid it was the same mission, track down the new surf mag, read the stories, look at the pictures, and just dream. Australian Surfing Life, Surfer magazine, Surfing, Tracksmag… but the monthly staple was always @carvemag . Growing up in the UK, it was our mag. Just getting a thumbnail shot in there felt like making it. That happened a couple of times and I was absolutely buzzing. So to still be getting double page spreads in Carve all these years later, I’m still just as stoked. Mag is still going, still supporting British surfing. And I’m still that same kid walking into the newsagent, finding it on the shelf, and buying it. Can’t beat that feeling. 🤙

Il y a bien sûr Mullaghmore, l’incroyable gauche aux houles gigantesques qui n’est pas loin de détrôner la célèbre Nazaré. Mais à ce titan des mers correspond une voisine tout aussi puissante et tubulaire située elle aussi, en Irlande, ce rivage devenu incontournable dans la galaxie du surf de gros. Le photographe @bastienbonnarme est parti avec les surfeurs @jerome_sahyoun et Benjamin Sanchis à l’assaut des deux monstres. Des images qui se suffiraient presque à elles-mêmes.

Chez Bastien Bonnarme, l’exceptionnel s’use à force d’être fréquenté. « Il n’y a rien de particulièrement dingue à raconter de ce voyage irlandais. Il ne s’est pas passé grand-chose en dehors d’une grosse session de surf. » Habitué aux journées XXL souvent shootées en aqua, le photographe landais (qui n’a plus rien à prouver dans le surf de gros) arrive ici à banaliser l'exceptionnel. Car ce qui s’est passé le 18 décembre dernier en Irlande n’a rien de bien normal.

Suite de l'histoire et photographies exclusives sur notre site et dans le numéro 36 de Hotdogger actuellement en diffusion.

Cortes Bank. 100 miles off San Diego. One of the most remote and powerful waves on the planet. Filmed in 2023 — and yes, this place made it to HBO. 👀🌊

The cold is a teacher.

It gives you the chance to create safety in a stressful environment, regulate your state, and build the ability to stay calm under pressure. It can break mental patterns, reset the mind, and leave you feeling energised, clear, and driven long after you get out.

This particular cold immersion was 5 minutes — here’s how we approached it:
1. Respiratory rate reset – Counter the gasp reflex with 3 long exhales.
2. 4:6 breathing x 6 – Inhale 4, exhale 6 for 1 minute.
3. 3 physiological sighs – Inhale, top-up inhale, then long sigh out.
4. 5:5:7:3 x 2 mins – Inhale 5, hold 5, exhale 7, hold 3.
5. 3 hums – Long humming exhales to finish.

“Breath is powerful.” 💪

“I know it’s a buzzword at the minute and everyone’s into it, but for me it came from big waves. The first thing when I start getting into big waves is, I need to hold my breath for as long as possible. Through trying to do that I learned I could control anxiety, help sleep, be healthier, recover better in between waves. If you understand how you breathe, the better you understand your breath, the better you can do in a lot of things. Not just sport – day to day.“

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
