Amazing chat with this true boog lord. 1km paddles in pre-sunrise baitballs, 14 years married & wrestling his lifelong SIC dream at the age of 44. So sick. Tile image: Paul Humber

Cohen Thomas is likely the answer to our cries “where are all the hardcore young boogers these days” Compared to the early 2000’s there appears to be less in number, but maybe Cohen & his brother make up for a few dozen given the airs n pits they're piloting. Imagine surfing 6-10 foot flat bottom pits in the middle of nowhere for 10 hours straight. Literally 10 hours straight. That’s Cohe...

A girl rippin in and living large. "Shark Island is for the f*&kin girls!" she yelled over the mic at the 2025 SIC Launch Party. Great to catch up, hearing the backstory and the cognitive processes of Sophie.  Fascinating & good vibes.

Power to Lilly. What a strength. Great chat with a wonderful person. We talk 3 decades of camping around the world with her bodyboard.
