What do you get when the Tahoe area’s finest cliff jumpers show up to one of the most beautiful swimming holes in Northern California? A free falling spectacle loaded with nonstop huckery reaching heights of up to 80 feet. Every jumper pushed their limits at this ultimate sendy convention. The crane was measured at 80 feet exactly.
Jumpers include: Nick Coulter, Dillon Bucher, Scott Pollman, Connery Lundin, Zach Steele, Jared Dalen, Shain Strafford, Tyler Stallings and Neil R. Haley
A somewhat obscure holiday started by nudists meets freewheeling surfing culture.
“Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it,” Surfer Magazine’s Justin Housman wrote today, encouraging surfers to take part in National Nude Day.
The somewhat obscure international celebration on July 14 also coincides with the French national holiday Bastille Day. As long as the local beach allows naked surfers, why not celebrate both? … More
It won’t get any more pure – cliff diving directly off the cliff face is the motto in Portugal. São Miguel is the third of nine stops for the men in 2016, the second for the women. The cliff diving elite returned to this phenomenal volcanic archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean to celebrate the World Series’ most pure venue. The crater walls of an almost perfectly round islet in the Azores archipelago some 1,400km west of the Portuguese mainland were the natural playground for the cliff diving elite during the season’s third stop. From spots called ‘snakehead’ and ‘kitchen’ the brave athletes dived directly off the cliff to hit the water at speeds of more than 85km/h only three seconds later. Only the more difficult dives of round 3 and 4 were executed on the platform due to the high degree of difficulty. An integral part of this prestigious series of competitions, the islet offshore from São Miguel hosted the 14 male and 9 female athletes for the fifth consecutive time this weekend.
It was Gary Hunt (GBR) who could defend his last year’s victory at the Azores. Andy Jones (USA) claimed the second place and Jonathan Paredes (MEX) completed the podium. In the women’s competition it was once again Rhiannan Iffland (AUS) who took first place in front of Lysanne Richard (CAN) in second and Ginger Huber (USA) in third.
