Hard-charging and outspoken, @biancavalenti isn’t one to back down from a towering Pe’ahi set wave or a fight for gender equality. To read the story of how Valenti became the face of equal pay in competitive surfing, follow our link in bio. Shot by @seasachi #SURFERmagazine

North American tube fixture @JoshMulcoy has been hunting fringe Alaskan waves for nearly 30 years. His northern experience culminates into an epic score in his new film, “Within Reach”, now playing in full on our site. Follow our link in bio to watch. Video: @mike_cochran #SURFERmagazine

In small and challenging conditions at Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head, NC, @secretspot team members @peerstoke, @quentin_turko, @stephen_muglia, and @willdeane07 took the win at the 2019 @oakleysurfing Surf Shop Challenge Mid-Atlantic Regional Qualifier.

In his 27 years of hunting waves in Alaska, @joshmulcoy had never seen this wave (above) break before. But when his truck coincidentally broke down near a freak sandbar on a familiar stretch of shoreline during his latest trip up north, he ended up stumbling upon the session of a lifetime. For a gallery of Mulcoy’s great Alaskan score, follow our link in bio. Shot by @markomcinnis #SURFERmagazine

When it comes to ephemeral gifts from Mother Nature, there’s nothing more thrilling than the tube and romantic as flowers. Which is why photographer @the_check_republic’s mash-up of these two phenomenons is so hypnotic. #SURFERmagazine

Teahupo’o scene report: it’s huge right now. @lucaschumbo just wrangled this square slab. Video: @griffin_cola #SURFERmagazine

Will @kellyslater (above) rain 10.00s at Teahupoo? Will a rookie climb the ranks? Will a wildcard cause a major upset? Who do you think will win the Tahiti Pro? To see our Fantasy Surfer picks, head to our site. Shot by @badboyryry_ #SURFERmagazine
