What’s It Like to Get Barreled for 45-Seconds? | It’s Like This: Getting barreled for 2 seconds is rad. Getting barreled for 5 seconds is unreal. Getting barreled for 10 seconds is almost unheard of. This guy, Benji Brand, gets barreled for 45-seconds in this clip from Namibia, Africa. The first clip in the shot is in super slow motion. The second clip, starting at 2:48 is in real time. Both are great to watch. We love […] Surf SwellBrains | June 12, 2014 1 Comment
Dropping Waterfalls on a Paddleboard? | Yep… It doesn’t really seem like this is a doable activity. We know that you simply cannot land a drop off a waterfall on a stand up paddleboard (SUP). Oh, what’s that? Oh, never mind. You totally can and this video below proves it: That said, there is likely a limit to how big you can go, just with every hucking sport. We’ve gotta give props to Dan Gavere for going for this waterfall of about 20 feet. Doesn’t seem to doable, but we’ll get back to you in 10 years. Guys will have bindings mounted on […] Surf SwellBrains | June 10, 2014 1 Comment

Friday Fun: Surfing with 10 Sharks on Memorial Day! It is truly every surfers biggest fear: Sharks in the water while you’re surfing. But in Florida, they just don’t care. Granted these sharks are smallerish, but I sure as hell wouldn’t share the line up with them… Water was very clear at NSB inlet today, we […] Surf SwellBrains | May 29, 2014 0 Comments
Friday Fun: Whale Hits Paddle Boarder at Ocean Beach, SF Last Week The Grey Whales were coming through San Francisco last week. You can see them when you’re surfing and it’s very cool. These two guys decided to grab some beers and go paddle boarding right up and in the Grey Whale’s crevasses. They had an amazing experience and nearly got served. We do not recommend getting this close to the whales. […] Surf SwellBrains | May 23, 2014 0 Comments
Crash of the Week: “The Wedge” Newport Beach, CA We need more crash of the week material. Yet, even if we had a lot of crash videos on here, they likely wouldn’t touch this wipeout. What you need to realize about this fall is that where he lands in that “water” is only about 12″ deep. When a wave tosses you off the lip, it’s bad. When “The Wedge” tosses you off the lip, you go skyward. Just watching this guy’s level of comfort in the air is hilarious. […] Surf SwellBrains | May 21, 2014 0 Comments
