Arctic Surf founder Ben Weiland's TOP FIVE Coldest Sessions​

Jul 25, 2024

Ten years ago, he set out on a surf trip to the most frozen reaches of arctic Norway....and had his mind blown. Since then, Arctic Surf founder Ben Weiland has been looking for waves in some of the coldest places on earth for over a decade now. And he's found them. Here are his top five coldest adventures.

Surfers Guillotined in Paris (2024 Olympics)​

Sitting at our homestay with Teahupo’o charger Lorenzo Avvenenti, trudging through our coverage of Day One well past our bedtimes, photographer Ryan “Chachi” Craig and I sensed the storm brewing. There were strong winds, squalls of rain, and a looming sense of danger. Sure enough, Lorenzo’s jet ski unmoored from the dock, and started floating away. Chachi rushed into action, threw on a pair of trunks, and dove in to rescue the escaped ski.

But that was just a preview of what was to come. There was word that some wind and weather was on its way for Day Two of competition, and when we woke up at dawn…a tropical torrent.

Was the contest on or off? That was the question at the house, on WhatsApp channels, texts from friends back home watching the broadcast, and the coconut poisson cru wireless. “The wind looks weird,” Chopes legend and coach for Team Japan, Tereva David, told SURFER, “but the wave is still barreling, so I guess it’s on.” And so it was; first up, women’s Elimination Round.

Luckily, the squalls (somewhat) subsided, the wind came and went (many umbrellas unhinged from their weighted foundations, and went flying), and the waves were…well, contestable. It was nothing like the full-day of tubes on Day One; rather, Day Two was grindy to say the least.

Surfing Is the Most Dangerous Olympic Sport; Day Three Proved It​


This wasn’t supposed to happen. For days, word on the street and the sages of swell forecasting, were saying that Monday, the third day of the Olympic surfing window at Teahupo’o, Tahiti, was going to be a lay day. Terrible winds, stormy, victory at sea. But this is the ocean; speculation be damned; anything can happen. And on Monday, Teahupo’o was huge, proving without a doubt, that surfing is the most dangerous Olympic sport.

After his Round Three loss to Peruvian Alonso Correa, South Africa’s Jordy Smith confirmed it: “Today is probably going to be one of the most exciting days for the Olympics in history.”

Gallery: This Day Will Go Down in Olympic Surfing History​

Remember this day. July 29th, 2024. This day will be talked about for years to come. Following two days of decent Teahupo’o for surfing in the Paris 2024 Olympics, Day Three provided with proper, nearly maxing-out, certifiably scary swell unloading on the reef. Your grandkids will wonder: “Where were you when Chopes went absolutely bonkers?”

There was a lot of uncertainty when the day began. Whereas the days prior, when the event was 100-percent confirmed to run, there was no firm word on whether the contest was on or off. But then, as the sun trickled its way through the prehistoric-looking Teahupo’o mountain range, and the first glimpses at the waves were locked in, it was clear. It was on. It was pumping. It was about as good as Teahupo’o gets, for that size, and it was going to be an historic day.

How Do Top Pros Deal With Small Canggu?​

A couple of Brazilian rippers showed up to Canggu the other day. The waves were on the small side but they still managed to find plenty of speed in less than ideal conditions.

Sand Bottom Peaks - Canggu​

There were a few tubes at the Sandbar for this session in Canggu the other day, with the right off the split peak dishing up a few round ones while the tide was on the lower end.

 

Caught Inside On The Biggest Swell Of The Year - Padang Padang​

Oct 17, 2024 PADANG PADANG BEACH

This was the biggest swell of the year and Padang Padang was feeling it with towering sets breaking way out the back before unleashing all that power on the inside ledge.

You really wouldn't want to get caught inside, especially on the first wave of a huge set, but that's exactly what happened to the first guy on this video. And he wasn't the only one to find himself in a precarious position, tempting fate with rushing water and shallow reef.

Shino Shines At The Rivermouth​

Oct 23, 2024 CANGGU BEACH

2024 Olympian Shino Matsuda is one of Japan’s best female surfers and she happened to show up at one of the best days at the Rivermouth that we’ve seen in a while – ripping into some very clean head high rights.

The wind stayed light all morning and with a big tide the Rivermouth was just about the only spot that was working along this stretch of beach.

Bali Surf Journal – October 2024​

Nov 7, 2024 BALI

October is usually when the swell season really tapers off but this year was different. About halfway through the month we received the biggest swell of the year with Padang Padang coming to life and Keramas as big as we've ever seen it.
There were lots of good small to medium sized days as well, so it was a great month for surfers of all levels.

Early Looking Canggu​

Nov 14, 2024 CANGGU BEACH

Early morning conditions were pristine with hardly any wind and a silky smooth ocean for the first surfers in the water. It stayed like that for an hour or two before a fairly strong onshore settled in, chopping up the face with some extra bump for those who like to start a little later in the day.

Bright Side Of A Dull Day – Canggu​

Dark skies and ominous clouds weren’t enough to keep some surfers away from this session in Canggu recently. The onshore moved in fairly quickly, but the smooth conditions lasted long enough for a few fun waves at the Sandbar.

Surfers Return for Rare Big Wave Contest in Hawaii​

Barry Sweet has a front seat to the mass of humanity that descends on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, for the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational.

“If you watch from early morning until early afternoon, it’s like a pilgrimage,” he said of the crowds for the surf competition, better known as the Eddie.

Alongside his wife, Janelle, and her sister, Deann Sakuoka, he watches from the vantage point of Pupukea Grill, a food truck run by his family that is parked off the two-lane Kamehameha Highway, a 10-minute walk from Waimea Bay and one of the few restaurants within miles.

When the Eddie is called some 48 hours before the contest is set to begin, a prestigious list of invitees — 45 competitors and 25 alternates — begins scrambling. Surfers from Australia, Brazil, France, Italy, South Africa and Tahiti had a host of logistics to work out to make it to Waimea Bay in time on Sunday.

Bali Surf Journal – December 2024​

Jan 3, 2025 BALI

The wet season hit hard in December, drenching the island with rain while skimping on swell. Westerly winds dominated, so it was Bali's east facing breaks that did most of the work with Keramas being the most reliable - and crowded - of the lot.

Paddle Out To Sheet Glass - Canggu​

Jan 11, 2025 CANGGU BEACH

It was incredibly smooth for the first surfers in the lineup at Canggu the other day. A fun little swell was running and the Sandbar had good shape with relatively long rides for the size. The sun came out for a while, which was a nice change from all the rain we've experienced lately.

All The Girls Go To Canggu​

Jan 30, 2025 CANGGU BEACH

With some decent winds and a return to form for this side of Bali, the girls came to Canggu for some fun waves at the Sandbar and Pererenan Rivermouth.
There were lots of surfers in the water but lots of waves to go around as well, so it was well worth jumping in the water.

NAZARÉ’S BIGGEST SWELL IN YEARS | MOUNTAINS OF THE SEA​

Jan 31, 2025

Nazaré just saw one of the biggest and longest swell runs in recent history—massive 9-meter waves, 13-second periods, and brutal 36-knot winds. It was a test of commitment, skill, and sheer will.
Through chaos and power, we found moments of perfection. The Mountains of the Sea team locked into some of the biggest waves of our lives—ones for the history books.
Hold on tight. This is Nazaré at its rawest.
