A wave with unusual contrast- on one side, the raw, powerful energy of the ocean, and on the other, the industrial hum of machinery, both coexisting in this unexpected surf haven.
I’m always excited to explore different surf spots and immerse myself in the unique surf cultures during my travels. Surfing Japan is not all about navigating through rocks like a kamikaze pilot (like my last video at God's Crack), here is a look at a more traditional Japanese surf scene… a sci fi looking one at that!
Hope you enjoy this journey of a very special scene in Japan. Thank you to Keito Matusuoka for showing us around and plugging us into your world! Without your help and guidance this video would not be possible.
I would also like to thank Shohei Echigo for letting us stay at "Hotel Shohei". And Shohei's dad for being the first to surf Shinko, congratulations on discovering an ENTIRE surf scene 🤯 Massive thanks to rest of the surf community for having us :)
Thanks to Coby Perkovich, Shouta Sawada and Misaki Haberl. For assistance on translations.

I was impressed on so many levels, by the wave itself, the people who showed up to surf and the people who showed up to watch! Apparently there was 18,000 be there for opening day 🤯Cool to see how much this wave pool means to the community and how much something like this felt needed in the land locked country of Germany. I hope the stoke comes through in the video. Party on - D

And welcome to our journey through a wave and rock structure named "God's Crack" located in northern Japan. I was over in Japan shooting something else entirely when my friend I was cruising with, Keito Matsuoka, mentioned he had a weird wave for me... and low and behold, there was this wave breaking between a very narrow crack in between 2 rocks 🤯. From the beach in didn't really look doable, so we decided to paddle out and "have a look" but we all know what that means once you get out the back 🫣 Let me know what you think about this spot and our decision in the comments below. Arigato!

" I’m that person now This video is my attempt at trying to assign some words. As well as add some visuals to help understand this WILD experience. In our case, obviously there had to be surfing involved, and it just so happens that there was a wave pool right smack in the middle of the line of totality in Waco Texas. I was with a group of scientists Some eclipse chasers And just happy go lucky surfers at the right place at the right time This is definitely one of the most cosmic surf experiences I’ve ever had… But it almost didn’t happen… I'll leave it there.

This video is about my experience hanging out with Italian surf guru Roby D’amico and checking out a really charming surf scene in the Santa Marinella area. Expectations on what the Italian surf was like (as you will see towards the end of the video) were well exceeded. Hope you enjoy the video :) Ti amo

Brittany is the largest French peninsula in the NW of France and one of the hardest coasts to score, due to it’s massive tides, translating to short surf windows… Combine that with nearly 2000 miles of coastline, that’s a tough shoe to polish… So why come here? By now I hope you have a gist for my taste in waves and surf trips… And I definitely enjoy the going off the beaten path, especially when it comes to surf trips. I had always gone to South west France… So with interesting charts lighting up the north I thought… What would it take to score waves in Brittany??

Even got the opportunity to MAKE a wave as you'll see in the video, which was insane! But we do a deeper dive in this piece to help you understand a little bit of the Palm Springs Surf Club's journey up until now, as a good friend of mine, Cheyne Magnusson, takes us through his the mindset of being site manager and the main wave DJ of a colossal project like this.
Had a blast making this and seeing this project come to life. Sounds like there will be big things coming out of here in the future, excited to see how this impacts surf culture as a whole :) Obviously pools will never replace the ocean, but I think they will play a big part in making surfing accessible to more people. #SURFTHEEARTH

It almost had us... Luckily for your viewing entertainment we followed through with our plan of surfing down at the iconic Kelinking Beach, after getting a tip from a friend that it might be worth a shot. One of the steepest trails I've ever walked down (and back up), but well worth it for the breath taking views along the way and the pristine beach waiting for you at the bottom. Throw some thumping shore pound in the mix and you got a recipe for a really good time. Hope you enjoy our experience, let me know what you think in the comments below :) -Dylan

Recently got to experience/ surf a tidal phenomenon in Indonesia known as the Bono to the locals or in the surf world as the “7 ghosts” cause of a unique feature known as “whelps” that occur in undular tidal bores when a tidal wave front is followed by secondary waves known as whelps. In this case there are 7, hence the name “7 ghosts”. Working on a full edit and explanation of my experience interacting with this phenomenon. I plan to release as soon as I finish editing. Going to tease one of my favorite rides in a few days. Hit me with any questions you have on this place 🙏
For now I have uploaded this ride (full video on my channel page @DylanGravesYT it’s entirety because I'm going to cut it down in the edit and it was one of the funnest and longest rides I've ever had, over 5 minutes of not 1 but 7 wedges! So I'm posting it here for the memory books.

It's in Brisbane, Australia" That's how this adventure began when I received that message along with a video from Fraser Spratt via social media. (As you will see in the edit) Fraser's video was of a fun looking wave that breaks off of a passenger ferry that leaves from a town called Cleveland on the outskirts of Brisbane, Australia and takes people to North Stradbrook island. As I made plans with Fraser to go surf this wave, I had heard about Bede Durbidge (pro surfer) surfing it 20 years prior... which gave me SOME confidence after the first person I talked to about the wave near the ferry dock told me there was sharks EVERYWHERE, no biggie. THIS is the video I made of the whole experience :) Hope you like it!
Also, if any one has anymore ideas of spots to check out HIT ME UP. I love this stuff, this could be the beginning of a new series called "I've got a wave for ya" ??? I leave the decision in your hands...
