Juho Saastamoninen is one the greatest skiers of all-time at the young age of 20. From a few world’s firsts, to your casual quad backflip, this man can stunt.
The WSL has declared that Laura Enever of Australia has achieved a new Guinness World Record for the “Largest wave surfed paddle-in (female).”
This historic feat was validated by the WSL’s rigorous review as part of their Big Wave Record Chase, with Enever’s ride in 2023 reaching a staggering 43.6 feet (13.3 meters), setting the record for the largest wave ever surfed by a female through paddle-in.
At the age of 31, the North Narrabeen native took on a colossal wave at the renowned Outer Reef on Oahu’s North Shore on January 22, 2023.
In 2015, Jesper Tjäder fueled the progression of slopestyle skiing with the release of “Unrailistic”, in which he showcased new and playful tricks on never-seen-before features. This year Tjäder is back with his notebook filled with new trick ideas and creative, never built features.
New tricks include the Body Slide to Spin Out and obstacles like the Double Handplant to combinations of both, like the 450° onto an eight-kink rail. Every trick took days to plan and execute, with some taking well over 100 attempts to complete including one on a rail that is the highest park rail ever built. Jesper makes the Triple-S to triple-kink rail combo look smooth and effortless, however it is a mind-bendingly difficult combination that took the Östersund native 118 attempts to make. Freeskiing filmmaker Matt Pain added: “What Jesper has done in this edit is light years ahead of the scene. This edit will still be relevant in 10 years time.”
