"My biggest scar is probably the one on my head. It's right here. I had to get 15 staples. I got hit by a fin on one of my friend's birthdays. We were all just going out to have fun at like a small little break. One of them fell in front of me and their board went right over my head. I tried to get away but I wasn't quick enough. It was super scary because you're in the Mentawis and we didn't think there was like any great doctors that could help us. We were trying to get out fast because I didn't want it to get infected, but there was a great doctor who stapled me up and now I'm fine."

Honoring the life and legacy of the great Hawaiian waterman, the Rip Curl Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational stands as the pinnacle of competitive big-wave surfing in the modern era.
“We are very proud to partner with a brand like Rip Curl. Everyone knows the brand and I know my brother, Eddie, would also be proud,” says Clyde Aikau, brother of Eddie Aikau.
“We have enduring respect and love for Hawaii surfing history, culture and people, so we are honored for the opportunity to join with the Aikau Ohana presenting the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational,” says Rip Curl founder Doug (Claw) Warbrick.
A new era in big-wave surfing at Waimea Bay begins now.

That’s when planning comes in.
Making sure you have the right gear. Rustling up solid travel partners. Relentlessly tracking swells. It all raises your chances of absolutely scoring.
There’s so much that goes on behind the scenes to make things work that preparation has become an integral part of living the Search.
One guy who lives this more than most is Kipp Caddy, Aussie charger and general weather map aficionado. He’s constantly checking apps like Windy, texting locals, and triangulating forecasts, ready to pull the trigger to leave at any moment. Gone are the days of just picking a season that’s generally good, booking a long stay and hoping for the best. Today, with up-to-date forecasts and online flight bookings, you really can wait until the last moment to score.
“There's no limit to it,” says Kipp. “Like, if I was sitting here and say, somewhere in Ireland was going to have a day of days, you can go at the drop of a hat. I've booked flights at like 11pm to be at the airport at 4am, ready for a 6am flight. You only get so many insane swells in a lifetime, like those kind of monumental moments. I’m just constantly on high alert for picking the eyes out of where to go.”

“I’ve gone on many surf/boat camping trips around this island, but I’ve never done it on a sailboat, so this trip was extra special and exciting for me,” says Mathea. “It allowed us to really take our time going up the coast and take in every nook and cranny; check out new places, new sections of reef and kinda go wherever the wind would take us.”
They cooked on a wood-fed stove on the boat, jumped overboard to camp on the rocky shores, and stayed up late to watch meteor showers shoot across clear, cold skies. There were also the empty line-ups, where the only locals they came in contact with were orcas.
“I’ve spent a lot of time boating to camp, away from civilization, out of service and to be honest those are the times and places I feel most at home and connected to myself,” says Mathea. “I love when you’re in a place where there’s no distractions from the outside world and you can fully enjoy the place you are in, the people you’re with and just enjoy how beautiful our earth is and how insanely special it is to be alive.”
The crew scored too, finding new waves they’d never surfed before, surfing a faithful right hander absolutely firing, and checking out potential slabs to come back to another time. All of the surfing was done in ‘balmy’ conditions for Canada. “It was very warm and sunny. I was only surfing in a 4x3, hood, and boots!”
Despite the incredible weather, there were still blasting winds to negotiate and a few sketchy moments. On the night crossing over, the expert skipper Satch Robertson handed over a radio before bed and calmly told them if they woke up to him yelling from it, he’d fallen overboard. They’d have to come and find him. The guy was almost too relaxed in tricky situations, so Mathea didn’t know how to react when things got rough.
“On our way back home there was one day that was insanely windy, decent size swell, and we were going around a point where there is always lots of water moving, so for me it felt really dicey but for Satch it wasn’t anything he hasn’t been in before and was a little too calm for my liking.”
Those are the moments that make a trip memorable though. The people. The waves. The unique situations you’ll probably never be in again. That’s what The Search is all about. Proper adventure to inspire the next one.
This is a film about The Search. Watch Transports of Delight, in all of its calm yet intense glory.
Filmed and produced by Nate Laverty.

Hefty eliminations atop both the men’s and women’s rankings while reigning World Champ Caroline Marks held firm to keep her surge climbing. Ethan Ewing still has a chip at the table after a buzzer-beating finish against Wildcard George Pittar. The action is just getting started with everything left to surf for and a chance at ringing the 61st bell.

#RipCurl
Why would you get up at 5am, drag yourself out of your cozy bed when it’s three degrees outside, pull on a wetsuit and go into the freezing water (which may have sharks in it) all for a few rides that perhaps last twenty seconds each?
Why would you save up for months, years even, to go on a trip around the other side of the world? Buy surfboards, boardshorts, wax, leashes, suncream, plane tickets, boat tickets. Risk food poisoning. Risk malaria. Neglect your relationships. All for the chance of surfing a particular wave that might not even be working when you get there?
Why would you plan your entire life around this particular thing?
Every weekend. Every holiday. Every spare second. And still be 100% content with your choice.
The answer is a feeling, not a bunch of words. But every surfer, and snowboarder too, has a story about the lengths they’ve gone to to Live the Search. The sacrifices they’ve made. The injuries they’ve suffered. The uncomprehending looks they’ve endured.
“We’re all on a Search aren’t we?” says 8x World Champ and endless Searcher Steph Gilmore. “We’re all on the Search to find ourselves. I think for surfers we’re all on the Search to find ourselves…in the pit. Haha.”
Mason Ho sums it in his own words why we all do this too. It’s not really an explanation. It’s more of a call to arms.
“You have a choice to go Searching. Just getting out of bed. You want to get out of your house where it’s nice? Eat your food. You wanna stay and cruise? Or do you wanna get out? Like, what do you want? And then, boom, you start getting on this journey of finding it.”
Get out and find it.
Live #TheSearch.

Hailing from Kingscliff NSW, Stephanie Gilmore, celebrated as one of the greatest surfers in the history of the sport, has clinched the WSL World Champion title eight times. Her style, unparalleled skill, relentless dedication, and profound passion for surfing have set her apart as a true icon.
This deal comes at a pivotal moment in Stephanie's career, as she embarks on a year-long sabbatical from professional competition to embark on ‘the Search' – travelling the world to feel that freedom and to discover the most exceptional waves, adventures, and experiences.
Through this deal, Rip Curl pledges unwavering support for Stephanie's global exploration, underscoring the brand's philosophy that the Search is a universal pursuit, resonating with surfers and searchers everywhere.
The duration and scale of the agreement underscore the magnitude of Stephanie's influence in the sport and the confidence Rip Curl has in her continuing to build on this legacy.
Despite being in year 17 of her illustrious career, with 34 Event Wins under her board, five perfect 10s and being inducted into the Surfers’ Hall of Fame, this eight-year deal signifies a long-term commitment to excellence and innovation in the surfing industry.
Gilmore’s relationship with Rip Curl began in 2000 when she first signed with the brand at 12 years old. She then went on to win four World Championships in 2007 (Rookie on Tour), 2008, 2009 and 2010.
“This really feels like a new era in my career. In taking a year off my aim was to just go surfing. To reconnect with what surfing really means to me and how I can share that with the world. So when this opportunity came up to join The Search with Rip Curl, travelling the world, finding waves, having fun, it was the perfect alignment - there’s so much to be inspired about.”

With the release of his latest film, Sebastian Konijnenberg, a French Alps native and former professional snowboarder, shares insights into his transition from competitive snowboarding to backcountry filming.
"It was my first time in Japan, and I quickly realized the challenges of filming there. The snow quantities are massive, and it's so light that after a simple turn, one disappears into a huge cloud of pow. We ended up with many shots where I vanished from the frame, reappearing 10 seconds later when the cloud dissipated." - Sebastian Konijnenberg
