Instead, she has become one of the world’s most popular surfers—with both female and male fans—due to her world tour success, stylish approach to waves, down-to-earth attitude, and equally stunning smile and personality. Early Life...

A note from HSS owner, David Kelly... In our Oct 2017 newsletter, Spencer Chang said that the MR Super Twin is by far the best board he's ridden—and that says a lot, because he's purchased a number of boards from us over the years. He said he liked the way the swallow tail felt. That reminded me of the Hayden Untitled I once rode. It was a friend's board, and I remember it actually had way too much float for me. The first wave I took off on was overhead, and I thought I was going to get pitched. But...

Sweet Potato Surfboard Review Meet Chad, a loyal customer of Hawaiian South Shore who can't resist adding a new board to his quiver whenever he visits.

With the advent of shortboards designed for surfers of all shapes and sizes, Chad found the Sweet Potato...

Written By Matt Rode (Surfline's head of Maps to Nowhere series)   Buying your first surfboard—or any new board, for that matter—is an exciting experience. But it can also be a very confusing one, since there are so many different options out there. Not only are there dozens of different worldwide surf brands (and thousands of local shapers around the world), but there are also a number of different types of boards, ranging from longboards and funboards to shortboards, hybrids, retros, and specialty boards such as big wave guns and logs.  To help you figure out what board is best...

The Attempt to Translate Sperm Whale’s Clicks and Find a Way to Communicate With Them I recently discovered Hakai Magazine, which presents a bunch of interesting content about coastal science. One of the articles that really stood out to me was about project that is working to interpret the sounds made by sperm whales with artificial intelligence and then communicate back to them! Photo Credit to projectceti.org Named Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), the program began in March of 2020, but was inspired by a group of international scientists who were working together at Harvard in 2017. They noticed that the...
