“I came to Hainan about four years ago and there were only a few surfers,” log maestro @jquinny told us about the surf scene in China. “At that time the area was pretty undeveloped as well. The place looked pretty different this time around—more buildings, a man-made island, and surprisingly enough, a couple surf schools and clubs.” We caught up with the North Floridian to talk about the emerging Chinese surf culture and his recent @vans Duct Tape Invitational win at Riyue Bay.

@granttwigbaker, as committed as they come on his way to a massive win at the Nazaré Challenge. Twiggy took top marks in some of the most picturesque conditions we’ve seen at the famed Portuguese big-wave break. Congratulations Twiggy!

The twin-fin fish is a staple in well-rounded quivers and for good reason. The speed, versatility and all-around fun makes them a must have. @cisurfboards reimagined the fish design once again with a modernized take, gave it to @danedamus to test, and boy does it look fun as hell.
