Brad Domke (Wabasso Beach, Florida) again pushes the limits of no-fin performance on a skimboard, this time sliding through a slabbing backside barrel at Teahupoo, Tahiti on September 3, 2015. Video by Gustavo Marcolini. An entry in the Billabong Ride of the Year category of the 2016 WSL Big Wave Awards.
A Year in the making and filmed all around the beautiful Coast of Portugal, this video is a compilation of Surf and Bodyboard highlights along with a lot of drone experimentation, while trying to get some new action angles from above.
From the shallow slabs of Ericeira to the monster waves of Nazaré, from secret spots in the west coast to the beautiful landscapes of the Southwest, from dream sessions to deadly rescues and lost drones, we can say it was a Year in full, yet this was just the beginning.
Our special Thanks to all the Surfers and Bodyboarders we had the pleasure to capture from above: Pedro Boonman, António Cardoso, Miguel Blanco, Sebastian Steudtner, Tom Butler, Garrett McNamara, Ross Clarke-Jones, Kealii Mamala, Nicolau Von Rupp, Dane Hall, Bernardo Jerónimo, Filipe Jervis, Tiago Pires, Pierre-Louis Costes, João André “Magoitos”, Marlon Lipke, Francisco Horta, Tiago Fazendeiro, Rodrigo Koxa, Rafael Tapia, William Lourenço, and many others.
For the last five decades, Whistler Blackcomb has left its mark on those who are drawn to the mountains. What started as a single Olympic dream in 1966 has evolved into the largest ski resort in North America, with a slew of accomplishments to back it up. From the resort’s adventure-seeking founders to its freestyle heydays-and breaking Guinness World Records along the way-snowsport industry legends recount the contributions that Whistler Blackcomb has made to skiing and snowboarding and the significance of its golden anniversary. But while 50 Years of Going Beyond solidifies the resort’s legacy in the past, there is no denying that the last 50 years is just the beginning.
