Description

Not much surf news this week—or at least not the kind we usually cover. But a few stories still had us yelling “wait, what?!”

🏄‍♂️ Dane Henry leads Australia to ISA gold with a near-perfect performance and a ridiculous heat total.
🪁 Jake Scrace gets towed 1,587 feet into the sky by a paramotor and sets a new kite surfing world record.
💸 Santa Cruz surfing brings in $194.7 million annually—but rising seas might wipe out the stoke (and the spots).
