FLOW STIK MINI

Watch pro surfer Alan Stokes surfing the new gun Mini.

Chasing Arctic Swells

Wild Tide Creative teamed up with KAYAK to document a freezing cold surf adventure to one of the most incredible places on Earth. Professional surfer, adventurer, photographer and KAYAK Travel Pro Alan Stokes embarks on a mission to chase Arctic swells to the far reaches of Icelands remote northern Fjords. What started out as the perfect surf trip soon took a different turn, when a huge storm closed roads with avalanche warnings and crazy winds, making it impossible for our crew to even make it to the surf!

FIRING SURF! Cornwall Porthleven BIG surf (rough edit) 4K.

Video from biscuitsalive

We scored some amazing waves today here in Cornwall. (Porthleven.) Surf was going off! Overhead barrels and fat wedges everywhere, and the surfers were on form too! This really is what 5 star waves look like. :) Here is a bunch of my shots from today. This edit is too long and scrappy, but I will tighten it up and make a shorter, fully formed edit as soon as I get a chance, but I wanted to share some of these epic waves with you straight away. THIS IS NOT A PROPER EDIT! Shots are simply in order that we filmed them. Music is simply only placeholder audio for now. But I am pretty sure there is a good edit hiding in here somewhere. (Give me a couple of days to find it.) If you enjoy this sloppy version, then hopefully you will like the final edit even more. :)

Moroccan Magic

Moroccan Magic from Wild & Free Adventures

Known for it's long perfect peeling point breaks and hot African sun, our pro surf coach Alan Stokes borrowed an old beaten up twin fin and had a blast flying down the line on some perfect Moroccan waves.

OFFLINE

The world is connected, 1.31 billion facebook users now share their lives online, 500 million tweets per day, there are 42.9 million instagram photos of people’s dinner, internet addiction disorder is now a recognized medical condition. Are we now just drowning in a barrage of unnecessary information? And at what cost? Paddle out, go offline…

A note and plea from Mr B… “Aware of the irony of posting a video for the London Surf Film Festival which uses a ‘liking’ voting system, my several social media accounts, several facebook conversations between myself and Stoker to make the film, and the many positive benefits both personally and to the world, please don’t think of this as an ‘anti-social media film’. This is more of an expression of the over-use, the intense barrage of content and information seeping into areas of life which should be dealt with in the real world, and that the sea is for both myself and Stoker one of the last refuge available to escape this relentless online content and contact. With the new iWatch recently released and waterproofing technology improving yearly, my biggest worry is that this aquatic refuge could be infringed upon.
It would be unacceptable to receive a mobile call or snapchat alert in the middle of a Baptist service, a Muslim prayer, a Hindu wedding or a Catholic Mass… so please lets not allow technology to encroach on our final simple, information-free sanctuary.
