Ever noticed how limber the best tube riders are? Even Jamie O’Brien going through a chubby phase can go hyper nimble compress mode and weave tunnels like a complete mad dawg. And you know he’s not skulling Reb Bulls and walking into a yoga class, ever. I don’t know if Asher Pacey does yoga, but I do know he’s recently become a bee keeper which is some free Asher Pacey trivia for you. And apparently bee populations are on the fritz world wide so Asher’s doing a great thing… for the bees, and all the flowers, and the people who like honey.

A quick google to explore further and “Bee numbers are falling across the world. There isn’t one single cause to blame but there are three significant threats that stand out: pesticides, the varroa mite and habitat loss.”  So there you have it. In closing. Asher Pacer: Sick tube rider, unconfirmed yogi, bee hero and Jamie O a bit chubby sometimes yet still flexible. Film by Tyson Lloyd

  • SURFING WORLD’S 50 MOST INTERESTING: Luke Cederman For a satirist, modern surfing is, as they say, a target-rich environment. From woo-woo at Canggu to the World Surf League, surf culture has never had so many absurd corners. In fact, the only problem for the satirist is that modern surfing is sometimes soooo absurd you couldn’t possibly take the piss out of it better than it does itself. But for almost a decade, New Zealand’s Luke Cederman and his @raglansurfreport has gone there, skewering surf culture with mini-mockumentaries, Flight of the Conchords meets a Surfline cam. A former pro surfer himself, he’s made a career taking the piss out of pro surfers and everyday surf culture, saying more about surfing with a two-minute skit than a thousand Inertia articles could ever do. We find him at Uluwatu, hunting for the Weirderpeople. We interview Luke in SW424. The mag is on sale now. 📷 @photocpl
  • SURFING WORLD’S 50 MOST INTERESTING: Cliff Kapono In SW424 @jedaum_smith travelled to Hawaii’s Big Island to profile surfing academic @cliff_kapono who’s charting a new for course for Hawaiian kids through a blend of modern science and ancient culture… But it’s complicated. “There’s Dr Cliff and then there’s just Cliff,” he says, referring to his duelling personas. Dr Cliff is the avatar he’s curated to prosper in the politically correct, cookie cutter society of today. Dr Cliff is the eloquent professor you’ll see giving TED talks, or featured in the pages of the New York Times, on NBC or CBS. There is a lot riding on the success of Dr Cliff, but that is only part of who he is. ‘Just Cliff’ – as Cliff calls himself – is the Indigenous kid who grew up playing in crack dens, fighting off older Polynesian bullies, and knifing sketchy boog slabs pioneered by Mike Stewart, Spencer Skipper, and a long list of underground bodyboarders. ‘Just Cliff’ garnered respect in a rough, low-socioeconomic Indigenous community the old-fashioned way. SW424 is full of interesting surfers with big ideas. It’s on sale now. 📷 @toddglaser
  • SURFING WORLD’S 50 MOST INTERESTING: @surfwitchesboardriders “It’s funny, they’re not really that impressed by anything from the surf industry or surfing more widely,” says Dave Rastovich of the Surf Witches Boardriding Club, which includes his mum Yvonne amongst their membership. “They paddle out on big boards, wearing helmets and gloves and full body lycra. They don’t give a shit about fashion. They’ve got no filter either. At their age in life, they’ve got nothing to lose. They just want to ride waves, and that’s truer to the core of surfing than anything else, really. They just get together and have a good time and have a laugh and it’s a very pure branch of the surfing tree, I reckon.” SW424 - ‘Surfing World’s 50 Most Interesting’ is on sale now. 📷 @turnthebull
  • ‘Postcards From Motel Hell’ has just gone live and it’s raw and bleeding and might just be the best behind the scenes edit of a surf film ever cut. “Every single trip we did for this movie, there was an element of chaos – someone fucking snapped their leg, or someone almost died, or our car blew up and we got stranded somewhere,” recalls @harrybryant . “There’s so much of that kind of stuff that went on. Looking back at all these moments and the backstory to all of them, when shit hits the fan, that’s what you end up remembering.” Postcards From Motel Hell and the full long-read feature from SW422 is up live now on the Surfing World site.
  • ‘Crystal Sand’ just dropped online, another @torrenmartyn / @ishkaimagery / @needessentials diamond edit, this time featuring @deru_desu … who also appears in SW’s 50 MOST INTERESTING ISSUE. “Sometimes you get a sense Drew McPherson was summoned from the seventies to save the future. The blue denim and chambre shirt combo, the blonde mop and sideburns, the love of single-fins and throwback craft all create the visage. He was also living at Angourie for a few years, which really warped time around him. But beyond all this Drew has a very seventies way of seeing the world... and it’s a world that needs saving.“ SW424 is on sale now.
  • A little triumvirate of brilliance to stabilise your mood on a Wednesday afternoon. In SW424 we run the story of @dusty.rusty.tunes , a Lennox surfer who now lives in Koonya, Tassie where he surfs and makes music on a piano in the hallway. His story in the magazine is a brilliant piece written by Tassie surfing statesman, Mick Lawrence, who passed away earlier this year, shortly after it was penned. Finally, while staying down at the Koonya house while working on a film project, the horribly gifted @matty_hannon shot a one-take 7-minute film clip for Dusty’s song, ‘I’m in Love’. It’s low key brilliant, and for friends of Mick I’m sure they’ll be chuffed to see him again. The full 7-minute clip is up on the Surfing World site, along with Mick’s story, ‘Dusty Rusty’. SW424 is on sale now. Support independent surf culture.
  • SURFING WORLD’S 50 MOST INTERESTING No.9, Ruby Southwell Left-of-centre surfers like @rubyandthesunn are nonchalantly broadening the norms of women’s tube riding and reminding us of the deeper significance and responsibility of surf travel,” writes @theseakin. “For those who appreciate a more spacious approach, Ruby’s surfing is a breath of fresh air. A cross between Leah Dawson’s midlength stylings, and Steph’s fishy hip-forward explorations – Ruby’s surfing is distinctly her own and distinctly feminine. As a largely unheard of and unsponsored surfer, Ruby brings all the ease and flow of being 25 and having absolutely no outside expectation on her surfing – except fun. After years of solo travelling, Ruby moved to the remote Mentawai Islands, where she surf guided, taught herself how to tube ride and lived off-grid with a local family for just over two years.” SW424 is on sale now.

  • SURFING WORLD’S 50 MOST INTERESTING: Sam Jones For a bunch of years now, Manly’s @jonceeeeena has been quietly chasing heavy surf around the country. This year Sam has been on a big-wave bender. A break-up with a long-term girlfriend will do that to you. He’s been to Shipstern twice and down to South Oz twice, including a month camping in the desert. You wouldn’t know it, though. Sam doesn’t post anything from those trips to social media. Sam doesn’t post much to social media at all. Sam’s local however, is Deadman’s, located smack-bang in the middle of Sydney, straight under a cliff, and when a swell big enough brings the wave to life, there are thousands of cameras on the clifftop blazing away. It lost its secret status about 20 years ago. Once deemed too scary to surf, in recent years it’s become a magnet to a new generation of heavy water punters, trying their luck. “It’s been blown out a bit in terms of the hype and people going, ‘Oh, you can paddle into some pretty big barrels at this joint’” offers Sam. “It’s pretty funny, the last three years, ever since that Lougher day, there’s been a lot of eyes on it.“ Sam’s story features in SW424, on sale now. 📷 @craigbrokensha
