Video // Teva presents - Beyond the Drop

This 7 minute video falls somewhere in between action flick and story-telling. Great cinematography and top notch production from Rush and crew as always. Now time to book some tickets to Mexico and grab a pair of Teva Mush jandals....

We're back on NZ soil and aiming to have some frequent updates happening over the coming weeks/months. It feels great to be refreshed by some Northern Summer sun and river flows. We didn't find any stonking slides like this one in Turkey, but the crews in California have been hitting many of the big runs. Ben Brown and Ryan Lucas have been firing off some massive drops and keeping up with all the crazy Americanos.

Australian paddler James Rowlinson has been a bit quiet on the update front for the last year, but he has just released this quick video of some big wave surfing in Australia. There has been lots going on around the paddling world over the last few weeks, I'll try and get some updates online but we're currently in Turkey, so may get distracted.
