His humble beginnings paved the way for his global success, and today, surfers can purchase his boards across the world. Donald’s designs are the product of the continuous modification and refinement of his work, making Takayama surfboards among the world’s most sought-after boards. Despite his death in 2012, he is still considered one of the most prolific shapers in the industry. Takayama’s success began in the 1960s when he crossed paths with Dale Velzy. Velzy offered Takayama a job in mainland USA at Velzy-Jacobs Surfboards. He also worked as a shaper at Surfboards Hawaii, and soon after, established Hawaiian Pro Designs (HPD) in the 1970s. As Donald worked on building HPD, he produced popular models like “In the Pink,” “The Egg,” and “Scorpion.” He also went on to collaborate with Surftech and started producing surfboards featuring Epoxy construction.

You’ll need a suitable one, and BZ has something to offer, like the BZ T-10 Bodyboard.  It’s available in two sizes, 40 inches, and 42 inches. It’s shorter than the Fiberglass Skimboard, but it makes sure you’re getting the best when it comes to control and stability. It doesn’t come with a mesh, yet the 8-pound deck will make sure you stand with full comfort as you glide on little waves.  This board comes with an RCS Single Stringer, and it comes from a premium-quality of PE core with an HDPE slick advantage.

At the same time, the EPS core provides fantastic buoyancy and ample flex, making it ideal for any surfer regardless of skill level. However, given the slick’s highly dense material, the board is best for riders who are lighter in weight. This precaution prevents the board from getting under too much pressure. Nevertheless, any type of surfer can use this product. Advanced surfers can also use this board to do unique tricks or maneuvers. 5. BZ – Fiberglass Skim Board 48 inches Specifications: Dimensions: 8 feet x 23.25 inches x 3.94 inches Construction: Compression-molded, Foam core with reinforced top and base Fin System: Single Skim fin (removable) Fins Included: Yes Other inclusions: Diamond CT EVA Pad with kicktail Great For: Intermediate Using the right equipment will make getting the hang of things more doable if you’re looking to explore skimboarding.

Top 5 Best Big Wave Surfers

Best Big Wave Surfers

The largest wave ever surfed (that has been recorded) was 78ft. That’s approximately the size of an 8-story building. When we speak of surfing as an extreme sport, big-wave surfers truly live up to the name by facing waves more than 20ft in size and traveling at speeds of 80 km/h and faster. Big wave surfers such as Jeff Clark, Eddie Aikau, and Shane Dorian are a breed of their own. Below is a list of some of the most iconic, influential, and experienced big-wave surfers that the surfing community has to offer. Best Big Wave Surfers Because what we all consider “the best” is subjective, it is impossible to decide who is or was the best big wave surfer of all time. That being said, here is a list of some of the most iconic big-wave surfers of all time. Eddie Aikau One of the most respected names in the world of surfing, Eddie Aikau, born in Kahului, Hawaii, in 1946 transformed from being the first official lifeguard hired by the City & County of Honolulu to becoming a legendary big wave surfer that every surfer has heard of. According to Eddie’s younger brother Clyde, he was “high risk at an early age” and although quiet, was always ready for a challenge or something risky. Summary Date: May 1946 – March 1978 Place of birth: Kahului, Hawaii Famous for surfing: Waimea Bay Interesting Facts:  Eddie saved over 500 people as a lifeguard. Eddie never refused to enter the ocean if someone was in trouble and never lost a single person. Eddie was lost at sea after embarking on a historic migration route between the Hawaiian and Tahitian islands. After the canoe developed a leak, Eddie attempted to swim to shore for help but was never seen again. Jeff Clark There is only a small handful of surfers that are willing to brave the gigantic waves of Maverick, let alone be the first. Jeff Clark, born in the USA was constantly seeking bigger and stronger waves as he grew up until he discovered Maverick. Being the only person brave (or crazy) enough to paddle out and surf these waves, Jeff surfed Maverick alone for 15 years before he could convince another surfer to join him. When you understand that Maverick can get up to 60 ft, and breaks half a mile for the shore, you will begin to see why Jeff is such a legend. Not only does the wave break far out, but it breaks around a point, which leaves the surfer with a 45-minute maze of rocks and well to get past before they even reach the backline. Summary Date of Birth: March 1957 Place of birth: Redwood City, California. Famous for surfing: Mavericks. Interesting Facts: First person to surf Maverick. Surfed Maverick alone for 15 years. Founder of the Mavericks surf contest. Stared in the films “Riding Giants, Step Into Liquid, Adventures in Wild California, and Discovering Mavericks”. Gregg Noll (Da Bull) Born in California, Gregg Noll was an accomplished lifeguard and one of surfing’s first big wave celebrities. Nicknamed “Da Bull” by Phil Edwards (the first surfer to ride pipeline) for his charging surf style and bull-like physic. Gregg was a pioneer in big wave surfing, particularly for dominating Waimea Bay, which was commonly known as his “gal”. Once called “the Babe Ruth of surfing” by Jim Kempton, the president of the California Surf Museum, Gregg was a fearless big wave surfer, film star, and longboard shaper, just to mention a few. Summary Date: February 1937 – June 2021 Place of birth: San Diego, California. Famous for surfing: Waimea Bay, and Makaha. Interesting Facts: In 1953 Greg moved to Hawaii to live off the land and surf the coastlines with several other surfers. Manufacturer of “Da Cat” surfboards. During a storm in 1969, Greg rode what was deemed to have surfed one of the biggest waves in history at Makaha. Shane Dorian After touring for 11 years as a professional surfer, Shane Dorian gave up his pro career to indulge in the world of big-wave surfing. Since leaving the pro surfing world in 2003, Shane has caught the biggest wave at Waimea, one of the best waves at Jaws of all time, and the biggest paddle-in wave at Nazare. Shane is a force to be reckoned with in the big wave world and remains one of the best big wave surfers of all time. Summary Date of Birth: July 1972. Place of birth: Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Famous for surfing: Waimea, Jaws, Nazare, Mavericks, Teahupoo, and more. Interesting Facts: Founder of the Shane Dorian Keiki Classic. Billabong has been a long-time main sponsor of Shane. Awarded “Surfer of the Year” by WSL for his wave at Jaws. Laird Hamilton A pioneer of tow-in-surfing, and called the greatest wave rider of all time by many, Laird Hamilton seems to be completely fearless. Not only is Laird one of the inventors of tow-in surfing, but he is also at the core of stand-up paddleboarding, and hydrofoil boarding. This one model has become a legend in the surfing world and was once called “the sport’s most complete surfer” by Surf Magazine. Summary Date of Birth: March 1964. Place of birth: San Francisco, California. Famous for: Being a pioneer in tow-in surfing, Hydrofoil boarding, and stand-up paddleboarding.

Most Shark Attacks in the World | What You Need to Know

Most Shark Attacks in the World

Every year, over 300,000 tourists visit New Smyrna Beach in Volusia County, Florida — nonchalant of the fact that they are at the ‘Shark Attack Capital of the World’. According to Florida Museum, this small area in the United States consistently tops the global charts for the most number of shark attacks with a total of 320 cases since 1882. This makes up 48% of the county’s total cases of unprovoked attacks!  What makes this beach in Florida the epicenter of shark attacks, and what can you do to protect yourself in case of a chance encounter? This article contains all you need to know about this place and much more.  New Smyrna Beach, Florida The exact number of shark attack cases around the globe is uncertain, but for the longest time, the United States leads the number of the most shark attacks. At least 16 shark attacks happen in this country every year, with at least 1 fatality every two years.  A possible reason behind this statistic is the nation’s advanced technology that allows its tourism government to document all cases of shark encounters, therefore creating biased results over third-world countries wherein attacks could be unpublicized and undocumented.  That said, we will look at all facts and evidence that have ever been recorded to know more about where and why shark attacks frequently happen in the US — most importantly, in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. According to ISAF or the International Shark Attack File’s program director, Gavin Naylor, the probability of you getting attacked by a shark on this beach is ten times higher than any other place in the world. The organization also suggested that anyone who’s been at the beach and swam its waters has been approximately 10 feet away from a shark.  Have you heard of the saying that you have more chances of being struck by lightning than being attacked by a shark? Sad to say, but that’s not the case in Florida, National Geographic says. Since 1959, this state has had more shark attacks (a total of 603) than lightning casualties (459). Fortunately, not all shark attacks end up in death. The years 2007 and 2008 mark the highest number of shark attack cases in Volusia County’s New Smyrna Beach. In 2016, a total of 15 shark bites took place in this area, and by 2020, 16 attacks were recorded by the tourism government of Florida. Even with the pandemic and restricted travel regulations, a significant number of cases are still being recorded in this famous beach spot.  Contributing Factors of Shark Attacks in NSB  Although Volusia County is known as the ‘Shark Attack Capital of the World’, the sharks who inhabit its waters are not as deadly as great whites, tiger sharks, or bull sharks. The culprits of most attacks in New Smyrna Beach are the blacktips and spinner sharks.  Blacktips are characterized by the black markings on the tips of their fins. They are seen in coastal waters, often feeding on small schools of fish. Since they prefer to hunt in shallow waters, they are more likely to interact with humans, leading to more cases of shark bites. The abundance of blacktips during migration is also a factor in these attacks. When blacktips migrate due to water temperature changes, feeding, or reproduction purposes, over 100,000 blacktips are expected to head to the shallow waters of Florida, which isn’t quite beneficial to the beachgoers.  These sharks come close to the shoreline from September to November, and from March to April. The peak, on the other hand, is during September when most shark encounters happen. Experts have concluded a possible reason behind unprovoked cases. New Smyrna Beach is known as a popular surfing spot during the summer season. Due to the influx of the number of tourists coming to the beach, the chances for run-ins and surf-related shark bites also increase, especially in surfing zones. The percentage of surf and board-related shark attacks is also at an all-time high in this area, with 50.8% of victims being surfers or bodyboarders. Surfers may have accidentally hit the blacktips with their surfboards, or they may have landed on the sharks during wipeouts.  Sharks are apex predators that feed on seals, carcasses of whales, and fishes. Since surfers commonly wear black wetsuits and ride boards when surfing, sharks may have also mistaken them as seals, which is their primary prey. Humans are not part of their diet, which further supports the mistaken identity theory.  According to multiple studies conducted by experts, a shark’s reaction to seeing a surfer from underneath the water surface is the same as when they see and hunt for seals. This also goes for polluted or murky waters. When sharks aren’t able to see their prey clearly, they mistake surfers and swimmers for their food.  Unlike great whites whose attacks often end in fatal incidents, shark bites in New Smyrna Beach aren’t always fatal. It’s because the sharks there only go for test bites — meaning they only bite out of curiosity.  Shark Attacks in Other Places Aside from Volusia County in Florida, shark attacks are also frequent in other parts of the globe. Here are some of these places you might want to avoid. Eastern Cape, South Africa If you’re a fan of Mick Fanning, then you’ll surely remember the video of his shark encounter during the J-Bay Open way back in 2015. Jeffreys Bay, along with Port Saint Johns Beach, are amongst the world’s deadliest and dangerous shark attack beaches in the world. Researches have determined the main cause behind these incidents, and it’s because of the abundance in the seal population in this area.  New South Wales, Australia Bad news: A lot of animals in Australia can kill you. Nothing comes close to the giant spiders and crocodiles in this continent, and just when you think the water’s your escape, sharks also add to the long list of dangerous animals in Australia you should definitely avoid.  The blacktips of New … Read more

Biggest Wave Ever Surfed | Surfers Who Broke World-Records

best jet ski for tow in surfing

It takes a special kind of courage and balls of steel to ride monstrous waves with towering heights of 80 ft or more. Daredevils are what we call them — the bravest of all surfers. Riders travel the globe for the biggest waves, looking to make their mark in the records and surfing history. In 2018, a Portuguese surfer named Hugo Vau surfed ‘Big Mama’, a wave that measured about 115 ft (35 meters) in Praia do Norte, Nazaré. Although this feat is still unofficially recognized by the World Surfing League, it’s considered the biggest wave ever surfed today.  Vau is just one of the hundreds of surfers who dedicate their lives to pursuing the death-defying drops of big-wave surfing. In this article, you’ll discover the world-breaking records made by some of the most fearless surf personalities. We’ll also discuss Nazaré, the famous surf destination in Portugal where you can find the most outrageous waves.  How are big waves measured? When surfing waves with heights similar to buildings that are eight to nine storeys tall, surfers look like tiny little specks trying to get away from jaw-dropping waves that are out to eat them alive. Since it’s difficult to measure these waves in action, how do you think experts calculate wave heights? As of writing, there is still no official method used to measure the exact wave heights ridden by the surfers. The most common method is by measuring or estimating the surfer’s height and comparing it to the height of the wave they surfed. Experts also calibrate photos and video footage to determine wave measurements.  Fixed structures and floating vessels are also key in calibrating wave heights. An example of this is the lighthouse in Nazaré that’s often used as a visual comparison. According to Miguel Moreira who works at the University of Lisbon’s Department of Sport and Health, Faculty of Human Kinetics, the only way for a record to become official is when the WSL officially acknowledged it using the method they have formulated. In partnership with the Guinness World Records, these two global brands give recognition for their record-breaking achievements in history. World Records of the Biggest Waves Ever Surfed Back in the 1990s, 20-foot waves are already considered too big. But when the 2000s came, big wave surfing became the newest craze among the most daring kinds of surfers.  One of the earliest records of successful big wave surfing belongs to surfing legend, Greg Noll, who paddled out a 35-foot wave in Makaha in the year 1969. During that time, it was known as the biggest wave ever ridden, and that record remained for 20 years.  After Greg Noll, other surfers attempted to surf more outrageous waves than what he surfed on. The current Guinness World Record belongs to Rodrigo Koxa, who surfed an 80-foot wave (24.4m) in Nazaré on November 8, 2017. He was also awarded the Quiksilver XXL Biggest Wave Award by the World Surf League (WSL) for this amazing feat.  Meanwhile, Maya Gabeira led the women’s division with her record of surfing a 73.5-foot wave (22.4 m) on February 11, 2020. She was also awarded the XXL Biggest Wave Award for that season.  Shawn Dollar also broke the record of the biggest wave ever ridden with the traditional method when he paddled his way (without tow) towards a 61 ft. wave (18.6m) in Cortes Bank, North Pacific Ocean.  There are also other claims that are not yet recognized by the WSL for various reasons. One of those is the successful attempt of Antonio Laureano who rode a 101-foot wave (30.9 m) in Nazaré, Portugal. This ride would top Koxa’s record once it becomes official. You can watch him and his team’s amazing journey in the video below.  Another claim for the biggest wave ever surfed is by Benjamin Sanchis, a French surfer who rode a 108 ft wave in Nazaré on December 11, 2014. The WSL doesn’t recognize this ride as of yet, and it’s for the reason that Sanchis only rode the wave partially, meaning he didn’t succeed in riding the wave completely.  Finally, there’s Hugo Vau who’s believed to have surfed the biggest wave of all, the legendary ‘Big Mama’ in Nazaré after 7 years of preparing and anticipating. On January 17, 2018, he caught and surfed the 115 ft (35 m) massive wave the witnessed other surfers. Like other claims, the WSL hasn’t proclaimed anything about Hugo’s record yet. Nazaré: Home of the Biggest Waves Before the daredevils of Portugal surfed ‘Big Mama’ and other big waves in Nazaré, they used to travel halfway across the globe to visit big-wave surf destinations like Oahu and Teahupoo.  It wasn’t until 2014 that this surfing mecca became a hotspot for extreme surfers. A couple of years back, Nazaré was only popular for the lighthouse and as a summer destination where tourists come every September. When winter arrived, local surfers avoided the beach due to its dangerous swells and sky-high waves that were nearly impossible to surf on.  Because Nazaré was considerably a dead town during winter, the local government thought of ways on how to bring people in especially during the lean season. In 2004, the first attempt to surf the monster swells took place; however, the surfers gave up after more than an hour of surfing.  This is because they were not provided jet skis to tow them all the way to the wave’s peak.  A year after that, Dino Casimiro, a local bodyboarder, tipped Garett McNamara, a well-known daredevil surfer, about  Nazaré’s waves. But since McNamara had no idea where Nazaré was back then, he disregarded the call.  In 2010, however, Mcnamara had a change of heart, and it was the year that he surfed a 78-foot wave. This ultimately started the craze for Nazaré’s waves. In 2014, this destination generated over 40,000 tourists, catapulting it to becoming a surfing hotspot. After that, other big-wave surfers followed Mcnamara’s footsteps and the rest is history.  Rodrigo Koxa bagged the official … Read more
