Innersection videos are all the rage right now – and for good reason. Innersection.tv is Taylor Steele’s latest project that levels the playing feild for aspiring professional surfers by giving them an open platform to showcase their surfing skills for the world to see and then have the universe of internet democracy ultimately decide who rules and who doesn’t. Top pros and underground rip-shredder’s create video sections of themselves then submit them to Innersection.tv. Voting is open for a limited time on the videos and during that time each video segment’s goal is to amass as many votes as…

This video blew our minds over here at Surfers Candy. Check out the micro-men as they conquer their plastic surf world and get shacked better than most “real” humans ever will in their lifetime. Imagination and creativity are integral pieces for surfing and this video does a great job of using both. It’s pretty amazing that this surf video stoked us out over here – you’ll understand why we are amazed when you watch it. Enjoy.

Well, it’s been a couple of years since my last visit to Virginia Beach for the annual ECSC (East Coast Surfing Championships) event, but having only been here one day I was instantly reminded of how out of control the surf/party scene is down here. People everywhere. Chicks everywhere. Huge scaffoldings. Pro surfers littering the lineups. Twelve foot vert ramps on the beach. Motocross ramps on the beach. Industry parties. Film premieres. Celebrity sightings. Complete pandemonium.
It’s hard to stay focused down here and you almost forget there is a surf contest going on. The main event of interest…

Nevermind that its been the better part of a decade since I won a contest. Nevermind the contest I won wasn’t against any top east coast surfers. Nevermind the contest I won didn’t really involve other surfers period. I won dammit.
What I did win was a photo contest. Actually a reasonably big one, and I really thought I had no shot. Its the International Photography Awards which usually has a pretty big pool of entries. Although I haven’t shot much of it recently, I felt like my underwater work is usually something people stop and look at more…

Back In July, I decided to escape the summertime flatness. I booked a last minute ticket one morning and I was on a plane that night to Nicaragua. The waves there are so good. You can surf all day cause the wind stays offshore most of the day and even when the wind came onshore, it stayed super fun. Check out the footage…

I recently discovered that my brothers are quite talented dancers and have been thoroughly shocked at their “enthusiasm” out on the dance floor. I filmed this on my phone the other day and felt the need to throw them under the bus. This really showcases Brad’s skills more than Trevor (for anyone at the last Dark Fall Premiere after-party you know what I mean). I’m headed down to Virginia Beach with Brad next week so I can only imagine what kind of dancing will be going down there. I’ll keep my phone handy in case my eyes are ever…

Well, here we are. The second half of summer. It pains me to think how fast the days of great weather are running off towards the fall season, but I’m glad we still have several more good weeks left before mother nature leaves us cold again.
In hopes of keeping the summer fun alive Surfers Candy has decided to host a little scavenger hunt for all of our loyal readers. Ocean Minded (the best sandal company in the world by the way) has been extremely generous in sponsoring the hunt by hooking us up with a bunch of killer…

I’m not sure if it’s the fact that i’ve seen Teahupoo up close and personal, or if it is just the fact that this is the heaviest wave in the world. Either way, this wave gives me chills every time I see footage of it. It may be expensive to get there and such, but Tahiti is the greatest place to travel. Every visit you make you will always leave with some skin missing due to the ridiculously sharp, shallow reef. The VonZipper Trials did not disappoint, and I hope the Billabong Pro is one for the ages. Let’s…

This video is for anyone that has ever lost their way or has lost touch with why they surf. Andy Irons has been in the professional surfing spotlight for over a decade and has had his ups and downs over the years. One year he’s the world champ; the next year he’s in rehab. It’s crazy to think how someone that has everything most people only dream about can experience such inner turmoil, but it just goes to show that material belongings don’t always bring happiness. In this case, and in many others, the simple act of surfing may…

There was a time, not long ago, when Myspace was the place to be on the web. You could make your own profile, talk to your friends, and even put up your oh-so-sick surf clips so all the chicks could see that you’re a real ripper. Totally awesome!
There too was a time when Costa Rica was the place to be in Central America. You could surf six-foot Hermosa, grab some Imperials, and maybe even hit Jaco for a night. So rad! Most of us were left believing that we had found…
