Matt Warshaw grew up surfing in Los Angeles at a time when surf and skate culture were beginning to meet in Venice Beach and Santa Monica. After a stint as a pro surfer in the 1980s, Warshaw became the editor of Surfer magazine. In 1990, he left his editor's post at Surfer to attend UC Berkeley, where he got his BA in History in 1993. He remained in the Bay Area, parking himself in an apartment in the Sunset District and in countless Ocean Beach barrels. As if personally expanded by all those tubes, Warshaw's writing expanded into lengthy essays, profiles, and books—many books—among them Maverick's: The Story of Big-Wave Surfing, Above The Roar: 50 Surfer Interviews, Photo/Stoner, Surfriders: In Search of the Perfect Wave, Surf Movie Tonite! Surf Movie Poster Art, 1957-2005, and more. His Encyclopedia of Surfing, first released in 2003, is the most comprehensive tome of surf culture in existence, and he followed it up with 2010's The History of Surfing, a beast of a book that makes music of Warshaw's encyclopedic knowledge. His most recent venture is the EOS dot surf, which is an invaluable online resource for surf obsessives, and features the “Sunday Joint,” a reflective op-ed style email that Matt shoots out to subscribers every Sunday. In this episode of Soundings, Warshaw talks with Jamie Brisick about the golden days of Los Angeles, establishing a career as a historian, the value of exploring someone else's world, the importance of preserving history, the challenge of creating a database, his first Jeff Ho board, the Encyclopedia of Surfing, and the art of writing economically.

Aloha, and welcome to another Hawaii Vacation Connection podcast, hosted by Bruce Fisher, aka Aloha Bruce. As we transition into the winter season in Hawaii, it's a good time to reflect on what these seasonal changes mean for your vacation plans. Though Hawaii is known for its consistent tropical climate, the islands do experience two distinct seasons: summer and winter. Let's dive into what sets them apart and how you can make the most of your Hawaiian getaway this winter. Understanding Hawaii's Two Seasons: Winter and Summer Unlike the traditional four-season climate, Hawaii experiences just two primary seasons: summer (kau) and winter (hooilo). While the temperature difference is relatively small, there are noticeable changes in weather patterns and tourism trends. Winter typically runs from October to April, bringing cooler temperatures, increased rainfall, and the return of the beloved trade winds. This year, weather forecasts predict a wetter-than-average season due to a La Niña pattern, which is expected to bring more rain, especially on the windward sides of the islands. While some may worry about the impact of rain on their vacation, Aloha Bruce advises that winter is still a great time to visit. The rain is often brief, and it contributes to the lush landscapes that Hawaii is famous for. The cooler temperatures and refreshing trade winds make it an ideal time to explore the islands. Here's an illustration depicting the La Niña weather pattern's impact on Hawaii, showing the changes in sea surface temperatures, wind patterns, and rainfall distribution. Winter Activities and Events in Hawaii Winter is a unique season in Hawaii, offering experiences that you can't find during the summer months. Here are some highlights: Big Wave Surfing on the North Shore: From November through December, the North Shore of Oahu becomes the hub for surfing enthusiasts. The famous Vans Triple Crown of Surfing series and the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational draws surfers from around the globe. Even if you're not a surfer, watching these incredible athletes tackle massive waves is a thrilling experience. Whale Watching: Humpback whales migrate to Hawaii's warm waters during the winter to give birth. The best time to see them is between November and April, with peak sightings from January to March. Maui is often considered the top spot for whale-watching, but you can catch glimpses of these magnificent creatures from any island. Honolulu Marathon and Festivals: December brings the Honolulu Marathon, one of the largest marathons in the U.S., attracting runners worldwide. The islands also come alive with parades, festivals, and cultural celebrations like the Makahiki, a traditional Hawaiian festival dedicated to Lono, the god of agriculture. Holiday Lights and Celebrations: Many hotels and cities, such as Honolulu, host special events and decorations throughout the holiday season. The Honolulu City Lights is popular, featuring parades and festive displays. Why Now is the Best Time to Plan Your Hawaii Vacation If you're thinking about booking a winter trip to Hawaii, Aloha Bruce suggests that now is the perfect time. October and November are typically slower months for tourism, which means more availability and better deals on accommodations. Currently, many hotels are offering promotions like free nights and added amenities, making it an ideal time to take advantage of the softer market. However, if you're planning a trip over the Christmas holidays, be prepared for higher prices and limited availability. It's a popular time for travelers, and accommodations can fill up quickly. Booking well in advance can help you secure the best rates and options. Insider Tips for a Hassle-Free Vacation Planning a Hawaii vacation can be overwhelming, especially with so much information online. That's where Hawaii Aloha Travel comes in. With over 22 years of experience,

Have you ever seen videos of people surfing waves that are 40-50 feet high? They glide down the face of the huge vertical plane of water, which could and sometimes does sweep them away? These times may sometimes seem like we are being followed by a huge wave that threatens to knock us off our feet and sweep us away like broken sticks upon the ocean. What you may not see or realize when you watch those videos is that the surfers are surrounded by helpers! People on jet skis and in boats, ready to snatch them out of the jaws of crashing white foam when then are done with their ride, or get wiped out.  We too have helpers all around us. Some seen, some invisible. Assisting us at all times, when we open and release to receive. Also, we are preparing to meet that giant wave, working on our skills from the inside out.

Today we connect with Delia Bense-Kang, a former Surf With Amigas instructor and big wave surfer. Although she hasn't always identified as a big wave surfer, since learning to surf as a young girl she has consistently run towards what most of us would consider to be big waves. She first began to push her limits in the cold, heavy waves of Northern California but is now living in Hawaii, where she continues to challenge herself in even heavier (but warm water) waves, chasing swells worldwide alongside the big wave community. In this episode, Delia shares a recent story of her biggest wave (and wipeout) in Todos Santos, Mexico, her tips for dealing with fear, training, and other techniques we can all use to build our own confidence and capabilities in the water.Connect with us at https://surfwithamigas.com/ or @surfwithamigas.

We all make decisions involving risk. Decisions like trying out for your school's chess team, speaking up when you don't agree with your boss, or going down a double-black-diamond run at the end of a long day of skiing. So how do we determine which risks are worth taking and which ones are too … risky?In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at gender differences around confidence and uncertainty, and how we can all better calibrate our bravado.Surfing waves as tall as apartment buildings takes a lot of strength and skill and preparation.

From popularizing stand-up paddle boarding, inventing hydrofoil boarding, and tow-in surfing, Laird is easily a face on the Mount Rushmore of surfing. Surfer Magazine has labeled Laird as, “the sport's most complete surfer, displaying almost unnerving expertise in a multitude of disciplines, and flat out surfing's biggest, boldest, bravest, and the best big wave surfer in the world today, bar none.”We sat down and chatted with Laird about what living Without Compromise means to him and how he maintains his innovation and zest for trying new things in the water. Athletic Brewing has also partnered with Laird in creating Superfood Swell, a collaboration beer with Laird's Superfood, a refreshing tropical IPA. Big waves of mango collide with swells of pineapple and hints of coconut water to deliver a taste-bending brew that transports you to Hawaii's shores.Athletic Brewing Camper Giveaway!Sign up for the Athletic Brewing camping trailer giveaway here: https://athleticbrewing.com/pages/grand-giveawaySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Andrew Cotton has been on the pioneering end of two of Europe's most iconic big waves: Ireland's Mullghamore, and of course, Nazare…The latter of which has captured the world's imagination. In that time, the dedicated big-wave surfer from the Devon, England has seen it all: equipment evolution, advances in rescue techniques, and of course, injuries (he suffered a broken back at Nazare in 2017). That's why it was so good to catch up with him to talk about that history, and the recent string of “world record” claims coming out of Nazare. One of the most interesting debates spawned from that particular spot is how to measure world-record waves? Andrew and I discussed technology and much, much more.

Happy New Year! Big Wave World Champion and former Championship Tour surfer Keala Kennelly talks about her successful career as a surfing pioneer. She dives deep into equality in women's surfing, touching on the importance of women's events at waves of consequence like Pipeline and Teahupo'o, her excitement about the women's CT returning to those places yearly, fighting for and eventually winning equal pay, and how female surfers always rise to the occasion when given the opportunity. She dissects her own origin story and career on tour, from growing up in a surfing family on Kauai and competing with the Irons brothers, to making it onto the tour, always performing better at big waves than smaller beach breaks, and her eventual decision to leave the CT for free surfing. Keala also shares stories about her evolution into a Big Wave champion, her first time surfing Teahupo'o, working in Hollywood on “Blue Crush” and “John In Cincinnati,” her career as a DJ, and how the WSL has begun to embrace LGBT surfers like Tyler Wright.

"Imagine trying to outrun a 10-story building that is crumbling right behind you— that's big wave surfing." The hundred-foot waves in Nazare, Portugal are the most dangerous in the world, but Maya Gabeira didn't fear them. In fact, she felt alive riding these monsters, addicted to the death-defying dance of Big Wave Surfing. But the conditions in Nazare can change in an instant, and when multiple waves pummeled her to the bottom of the ocean she was lucky to escape with career-ending injuries. Ridiculed by her peers and left without sponsorship, it seemed like an impossible dream to surf again, let alone break world records. Photo Credit: Pablo Garcia Learn more about your ad choices.

Maya Gabeira is a Brazilian big wave surfer. She is most known for having surfed a 73.5 ft high wave in Nazaré, Portugal in February 2020, recorded by Guinness World Records as the biggest wave ever surfed by a female.  It was also the biggest wave surfed by anyone that year.  She has received numerous accolades including the ESPY award for Best Female Action Sports Athlete and is considered one of the best female surfers in the world as well as one of the most influential female surfers of all time.   Some interesting insights from this episode: Both parents were well known in Brazil so she felt the need to leave the country at a young age to do something on her own terms and to find something that would be true to herself. She suffered severe asthma as a child which made her feel weak and vulnerable but as she grew older, she learned how to turn that weakness into a strength. “Surfing picks you up and also beats you down. It gives you everything but also takes everything out of you.” You have to train on strengthening your lungs so you're able to hold your breath for extended periods. Maya is able to hold her breadth for up to 4 minutes. While there were plenty of women competing in small wave surfing, Maya was one of the first women to break into the dangerous sport of big wave surfing. She barely survived a near-fatal accident while surfing at Nazaré when a 160 ton wave collapsed on her and she lost consciousness in the water. She had to endure years of intense pain and rehab following three spine surgeries along with dealing with debilitating anxiety disorder to be in a position to surf again. She ended up setting two Guinness world records for big wave surfing.  “Excellence is not about perfection. Perfection doesn't exist. Excellence is the greatest you can be.”
