Top 9 Best Stamps Surfboards Reviewed What is impressive about the Stamps Surfboards is that it has a wide range of surfboard collections. These surfboards are under the Shreddy Part 1, Shreddy Part 2, E Series, Fishy, Groovy or Eggy, or Loggy categories. Compared to several shops, the Stamps Surfboards provide you with more options. Also, you can custom order some of the features of the Stamps surfboards. You only need to determine what are the available customizations it offers. In some of its surfboards, you can customize everything. Big Guns Stamps Surfboard Scarecrow Stamps Surfboard Flare Stamps Surfboard WTF Stamps Surfboard Fuse Stamps Surfboard Spegg Stamps Surfboard Quantum Quad Fish Stamps Surfboard Grinder X Stamps Surfboard FX Stamps Surfboard #1. Big Guns One of the perks of the Stamps Surfboard is that it sells guns and big guns. You would like to surf with it when you feel suicidal to take on the massive waves in Jaws, Hawaii. The reason why it is the first on the lists is that it is the most customizable among the others. It is a build-to-order Stamps product. You can choose your fin setup, tail shape, and other personalization possible. The brand’s Big Guns have plenty of foam in the middle part and forward that enables you to ride the massive waves and foil. It provides a lot of control when it seems like the gigantic waves are running at high speeds. Stamps glassed it heavy so that it can handle everything that the waves throw at it. Beginners and intermediate-level surfers should stay away from riding this board unless you only want to spend on something that will decorate your quiver that will make you look cool. The Big Guns are for the pros who have guts to ride gigantic waves. #2. Scarecrow If the Big Guns are for the pros of the pros, the Scarecrow is almost the opposite. It is a fun shortboard that you can use for everyday surfing. It is highly versatile because of its moderate rocker with a slightly advanced curve of the tail. It has a broad outline at the center and has a full nose, tail, and block, making it one of the most forgiving shortboards that even beginners with some experience can use. If you are a new surfer with some experience, you should try it instead and imagine that you are surfing the Big Gun while riding it. This surfboard is also customizable. You select among the best fins that are the best choices for it, which are the five, quad, and tri. The available tail shape selections are squash, round, and swallow. #3. Flare The Flare Stamps Surfboards model is one of the Shredder Part 2 designs. Flare has a pointed nose, broad tail, moderate and continuous rockers, and single concave from nose to tail. This surfboard has a curvy outline, making it a versatile board that even experienced beginners can use. You can select among the tri, quad, and five fin setups. The tail shapes available are squash, round, and swallow. #4. WTF No. This Stamps Surfboards model does not refer to a derogatory expression, although it is pretty good in getting your attention. The WTF stands for the wide-tailed fish, a part of the brand’s Fishy collections. It is because the WTF is broad and short. According to Stamps Surfboards, it is the type that you can take to the extreme. It has some of the features of the Twin Keel Fish (another Stamps Surfboards model). It has the same contours and foil that are the same as this model. However, the brands altered its outline and dropped some rocker. As a result, this WTF model can provide you effortless speed, glide, and paddle. This surfboard is the best for surfing the lined up point or the beach break. The fin configurations to choose from for this model are five and quad. It only uses one tail shape, which is squash. According to the brand, the appropriate size of this board should be eight-inch below your height. If you want to add some glide, you should add a few inches of length instead. #5. Fuse Fuse is another part of the Fishy collection of the Stamps Surfboards. Its features are a combination of the brand’s other models, which are the Flare and the Quantum Fish. Thus, it provides the Quantum Fish’s speed and the arc of the Flare at the tail part. It resembles the front part of the Quantum and the end part of the Flare, but with some added tweaks. These alterations include the pulled-in, lifted nose, and enhanced contours. The fin configurations available for this surfboard model are tri, five, and quad. #6. Spegg Stamps Surfboard’s Spegg model is under the Groovy or Eggy category. The name of this model is a wordplay between the terms ‘speed’ and ‘egg.’ This product resembles the OverEasy Stamps Surfboard’s model. It only has an egg shape that provides more maneuverability that can handle fast and steep wave face. The Spegg has a narrow nose and tail, pulled back broad point, and subtle rail foil and bottom contours. These surfboards … Read more

What Happened to Surfer Magazine? | The End of a Legacy

January 3, 2023by Luke Morris

October 2, 2020 marked one of the darkest days in surfing history. Surfer — one of the most recognizable surf magazines in the world — went full circle as they announced that the last issue they published will be their last. As the ‘Bible of the Sport’ comes to its end, readers were left with a lot of questions and hearsays about the possible causes of its closure. Were there political issues involved, was it because of the pandemic — or was there more to it that we don’t know as of yet? In this article, we’ll help you understand what happened to Surfer Magazine. We’ll also talk about their humble roots, as well as relive their final days in the industry. The History of Surfer Magazine For 60 years, Surfer Magazine has been the source of inspiration for many swell chasers and dreamers. It’s a piece of publication where you’ll find success stories of the best surfers around the globe, their pro- rankings, the latest designs of surfboards and surfer fashion, and photos of the best surfing spots with the gnarliest waves you could ever imagine. Inside its pages, people used to read stories of how Eddie Rothman helped take back Oahu for the Hawaiians, rare photos of Duke Kahanamoku riding Koa wood planks, what the Quasimoto stance is, and how thrusters were going to revolutionize surfing. Teenagers used to bring their new editions to school and shared them with their friends as they all analyzed the different maneuvers and techniques shown inside its editorials. And when they finished reading them, they would cut off the photographs that indulge their surfer alter-egos and line them up inside their rooms’ walls. Surfer isn’t just a magazine. It was a tradition for many people who grew up flipping through its pages. That’s why when the company announced its sudden closure, a lot of people were beyond disappointed. No warnings, no tell-tale signs. An era has ended, and it was only announced via an Instagram post by its former editor-in-chief, Todd Prodanovich. In the post, he says, “This is the last issue of @surfer_magazine. The whole staff got let go yesterday, but I feel like we’re ending on a high note with this one. Funny how you can work a job like this for 10 years and each issue is a completely new and different journey. I’ll really miss that part, and the mag in general, which ends on this issue after 60 years of publication.” How It Started “Before Surfer, there was no surf media and industry.”, says former executive director, Sam George. As the oldest and first-ever international print magazine dedicated to surfing culture, Surfer had a good run. For this reason, let’s take a little trip back to memory lane to commemorate how this iconic magazine came to be. In 1960, a high school teacher and surf filmmaker named John Severson wanted to contradict the idea of how the movie, ‘Gidget’, portrayed surfers, so he created ‘The Surfer’, a booklet that he hoped will show the world a truer image of surfing culture. The Surfer was also a way to promote Severson’s upcoming movie, Surf Fever. Its first edition consisted of 36 pages that included illustrations and some of his editorial in the standard format. Upon its release, thousands of surfers who wanted to get a copy lined up in the surfing stores of San Juan Capistrano, California. During that time, surfers were looking for validation; hence, why The Surfer became an instant hit. Eventually, the booklet sold over 5,000 copies, and because of its success, Severson decided to continue publishing it quarterly. The Surfer’s second issue was published in 1961. In order to make money, Severson started making editions with advertisements that include logos and arts. As soon as more companies were buying spaces for their ads, Severson was able to employ some of the best people in the business that helped him create more editorial content. Eventually, The Surfer had Ron Stoner as its photographer, Rick Griffin as its cartoonist, Bev Morgan as its writer, and Drew Kampion as its editor. Meanwhile, Severson continued in making art and directing films. By 1970, The Surfer had over 100,000 readers; however, Severson wasn’t into the businessman lifestyle so much as he felt he was slowly disconnecting from the surfer way of life that he wanted. The next year, he sold the rights of The Surfer to the company, For Better Living, Inc. wherein Steve Pezman became the editor for 20 years. In 1991, Pezman left Surfer and created ‘The Surfer’s Journal’, and in 1998, For Better Living sold the Surfer. For many years, the magazine had undergone different mergers, and by the time it was sold to The Enthusiast Network, half of the Surfer magazine staff got laid off. But the show went on, and they continued publishing. Finally, American Media (now A360 Media) bought Surfer. Not because A360 can be bothered with surfing, but because it sees the magazine as added space to put more advertisements. From then on, Surfer’s lifeline hung by a thread. Surfer Magazine’s Final Days As the closure of the Surfer magazine came abrupt, their readers predicted different reasons why it happened. A360 presented the suspended operations of Surfer as a temporary closure, but according to their staff, no actions are being taken to revive its operations. So what really went wrong? Stab magazine suggested before that perhaps politics could be a possible reason why Surfer has ended. A day prior to their closure, the Surfer staff created a post on their official Instagram account endorsing the United States presidential candidate Joe Biden and vice president Kamala Harris. But since A360’s CEO, David Pecker, supported Donald Trump as president back in 2016, Surfer’s post became an angle that’s worthy of controversy. Meanwhile, Prodanovich denied the allegation with his last post saying that Surfer’s closure wasn’t related in any way with the endorsement of Biden. Word on the street said that the staff already knew … Read more

When choosing your diving gear, it is worth investing in a brand that will ensure you stay in the water for longer. Being one of the first companies to produce wetsuits, Henderson has been at the forefront of creating high-quality suits, gloves, and hoods. Henderson is focused on innovating its product range while bringing in stylish designs that will perform well in the water. If you want to buy a new wetsuit, consider reading our reviews and learn why donning a Henderson wetsuit for your next diving trip will be the best choice you will ever make. Top 6 Best Henderson Wetsuits Reviewed Henderson is one of the leading wetsuit providers that will give you your money’s worth. With the technology that they bring to develop the most durable wetsuits and accessories, you will never regret every purchase. Before buying any Henderson wetsuit, we have provided a list of the best wetsuits that they have accompanied by the unique technology incorporated in every suit. Check out the following wetsuits we have rounded up to help you choose the right suit for you: Henderson Greenprene Back Zip Fullsuit (Men’s) Henderson Thermoprene PRO Back Zip Jumpsuit (Women’s) Henderson Aqua Lock Back Zip Jumpsuit (Men’s) Henderson TALON Back Zip Jumpsuit (Women’s) Henderson Thermoprene Back Zip Jumpsuit (Women’s) Henderson Thermaxx Back Zip Jumpsuit (Men’s) #1. Henderson Greenprene Back Zip Fullsuit (Men’s) Henderson introduces Greenprene Fullsuit, a wetsuit line made from the entirely plant-based Greenprene material. It’s a warm, super stretchy, and sustainable insulating foam that feels and performs just like neoprene, but better. Greenprene wetsuits are significantly lighter and will allow you to move without restrictions. Since it is also 100% neoprene-free, these wetsuits are suitable substitutes for those who have allergic reactions with neoprene suits. Besides Greenprene, these wetsuits also use AQUA-SILK exterior fabric and BIO-SPAN fabric laminates to provide additional warmth and abrasion resistance. The suits are equipped with a red closure dock to help keep the hoop and loop fastener from attaching to other areas of the wetsuit. It also features a corrosion-resistant YKK zipper for enhanced durability and a key pocket for easy access to any essential diving gear. From the name itself, the Greenprene project wants to obtain a more sustainable product life cycle. With every Henderson wetsuit that you buy, they will pack each in a recycled cardboard box and wrap each suit with recycled paper. To top it off, every hangtag of the suit is printed from recycled paper using only soy-based inks. #2. Henderson Thermoprene PRO Back Zip Jumpsuit (Women’s) The jumpsuit is designed with minimal seams, and each seam is glued and blind stitched to prevent water leaks. It helps in keeping you comfortably warm, especially during winter dives. The suit’s hook and loop fastener-resistant outer fabric and hook and loop fastener-dock prevent the adjustable collar from attaching onto other parts of the wetsuit. The soft and comfortable aqua silk lining with the ergonomic Duratex knee pads create a more comfortable movement. The proven self-sealing zipper closures provide easier entry and exit from the suit. With all three features combined, create the new Thermoprene PRO Back Zip Wetsuit lineup. Every Thermoprene Pro Back Zip jumpsuit is available in 3mm, 5mm, and 7mm thickness, allowing you to choose what suit is best for your need. It also has a wide variety of sizes, from extra small to 3X-large. #3. Henderson Aqua Lock Back Zip Jumpsuit (Men’s) The new Aqua Lock line is Henderson’s most advanced wetsuit system. Aqua Lock features enhanced stretch, Quik Dry interior, and zipperless locking system that enables better interlocking with the wrist and ankles. Each opening was designed to interlock with the accompanying accessories such as the hoodie, the boots, and the gloves. Each would mate using the zipperless sealing system that minimizes water entry. Its liquid taped seams have watertight seals, preventing water from entering the suit and protecting the stitching from unraveling. The exterior utilizes the renowned AQUA-SILK laminate while the wetsuit’s interior uses the Henderson-exclusive Quik Dry lining. The hydrophobic lining allows for faster drying time, so you don’t have to put on a damp wetsuit again for your second dive. The Quik Dry interior is soft and limits water entry to keep you warmer over a more prolonged period. The main star of the show is the AquaLock system that starts in the core jumpsuit. With the AquaLock seams, water entry is negligible since the seams are double glued and blindstitched, from the inside out. If you are thinking of purchasing either the 5mm or the 7mm thick jumpsuit, you are in luck since both suits have the zipperless wrists and ankle cuffs. But, don’t fret if you choose to buy the 3mm suit because it also has a good pairing with other AquaLock accessories. Overall, the AquaLock is one of Henderson’s best technologies for its high performance and comfort to every diving enthusiast. #4. Henderson TALON Back Zip Jumpsuit With their history of manufacturing wetsuits for the US government, Henderson introduces the TALON – the wetsuit range tailored to the US Special Ops suits. Each TALON suit uses the Special Ops line standards, from the cutting to the materials used, to the stitching. The jumpsuit is specially made one at a time, making sure it suits the owner and bears a registration number and certificate of authenticity. It uses superior military grade neoprene coupled with Henderson’s Hyperstretch Thermoprene to ensure supreme warmth even at the coldest depths. The TALON also features Henderson’s Fire Fleece lining to help you feel comfortable during a deep dive. The back zip entry with pull tab design allows for easy donning and doffing, facilitating speedy deployment. The assurance that Henderson gives you in every TALON wetsuit is at par.

Top 6 Best Hooded Wetsuits

January 3, 2023by Luke Morris

Options for wetsuits are rapidly growing as surfing is not the only sport that requires a wetsuit. Diving, kayaking, and paddleboarding, among others, need wetsuits to counter the cold. There are many features that users must consider before buying the best-hooded wetsuit. It can be overwhelming, especially for first-time wetsuit shoppers who just want to end up with the wetsuit of their dreams. As this is an essential piece, shoppers are advised to be familiar with specific parts and use this as a reference in selecting their wetsuits. Top 6 Best Hooded Wetsuits in Review Whatever watersports you are into, wetsuits will always be an essential piece in every activity. The protection that wetsuits give will always be the top feature because it is the suit’s primary function. With the many brands out there that provide the best hooded wetsuits, it is often quite a headache to pick the best among them. That is why we have provided you a list of the best hooded wetsuits in the market and will leave you to decide which one fits you. Men’s Infiniti Hooded Full Suit by XCEL Superfreak F.U.Z.E. Hooded Wetsuit by O’Neill R4 Yulex 5.5/4mm Hooded Wetsuit by Patagonia 5/4 Furnace Ultra Hooded Fullsuit by Billabong Flash Bomb 5/4mm by Rip Curl Ultra Hot Combo 5/4mm by Hotline #1. Men’s Infiniti Hooded Full Suit by XCEL – Best Overall wetsuit Specifications: Water Temp Rating: 48 degrees & up Thickness: 5/4 mm Neoprene Type: 100% stretch Seam Construction: Sealed and Taped Zipper Style: Chest Zipper Xcel is known to be the 4-peat winner of the Wetsuit of the Year by SIMA (Surf Industry Manufacturers Association). Their Infiniti Hooded full suit gives justice to their continued success. It was recently upgraded to having Thermo Lite, and it is strategically placed in the back and chest for that ideal warmth and comfort. Heat in the chest area is essential because most of our organs are located here. The outer sleeves have an S-seal seam that is ready for various conditions. Also noticeable in the wetsuit is the glide skin collar that prevents flushing and the dope dye that does an eco-friendly anti-fade. Above all, the wetsuit engineered its design to fit like a second skin. #2. Superfreak F.U.Z.E. Hooded Wetsuit by O’Neill – Most flexible wetsuit Specifications: Water Temp Rating: 48 degrees & up Thickness: 5/4 mm Neoprene Type: Ultra Flex Seam Construction: Ulta Flex Taped Seams Zipper Style: Front Upper Zip Entry O’Neill prides itself on being a trusted brand by athletes. They started in 1952 and have been making waves in the surf culture since then. Colliding authentic heritage with modern performance has brought them to create the Superfreak F.U.Z.E. 5/4 Hooded Wetsuit. We want to mention three things about this wetsuit – drain holes, F.U.Z.E. Closure, and UltraFlex Neoprene. In this wetsuit, the drain holes are found on the chest and upper arms. Between the two drain hole areas, the chest area is quicker in draining out, thus maintaining body heat. It’s important to note that once the chest gets cold, it is difficult to have it warmed again, so this wetsuit gets a plus in the body temperature department. Front Upper Zip Entry (FUZE) is a sturdy zip that will not rust with seawater, so expect this to last long. Plus, this closure prevents water from getting into the wetsuit. Now, this is ideal for winter surfing, where the water gets icy. The UltraFlex Neoprene is a material we love because it is flexible and stretchy, making it comfortable to wear for an extended period. It does not restrict any movement, and it reduces wind chill. #3. R4 Yulex 5.5/4mm by Patagonia – Best Eco-friendly wetsuit Specifications: Water Temp Rating: 38 degrees & up Thickness: 5.5/4 mm Neoprene Type: 100% stretch Seam Construction: Sealed and Taped Zipper Style: Chest Zipper When you go to Patagonia’s website, you will see an odd banner statement ‘business unusual’. Why unusual? They are in the business of mitigating extinction threats of all earth’s life forms by solely operating under the green premise of environmental consciousness. Their wetsuit R4 Yulex 5.5/4mm is by far the most eco-friendly you’ll get in the market. They are almost petroleum-free, and they also did unusual changes to production and glue methods and made sure that these wetsuits bring the slightest hint of environmental burden. Let’s dive further into this Central American material, Yulex. It is derived from Hevea (a tree found in the forests of Guatemala) and incredibly shares the same flexibility and warmth with Neoprene. They started experimenting in 2012; then, in 2016, they pushed to go all out and use this natural rubber in all of their wetsuit lines. Since then, they are enjoying a cult following of individuals who believe in minimized carbon footprint. Serious reconfiguration and improvement have been implemented to the flex and flexibility to sustain its fame. Tweaks have been made to achieve their most pliable Yulex formula to date. This upgraded version makes paddling so much easier. As for the fit, the new R4 Yulex is designed to have more space in the shoulders and chest areas compared to previous years. They are comfortable and true-to-size. #4. 5/4 Furnace Ultra Hooded Fullsuit by Billabong – Best value for money Specifications: Water Temp Rating: 37 degrees to 50 degrees Fahrenheit Thickness: 5/4 mm Neoprene Type: Airlite Stretch Seam Construction: 100% welded and sealed Zipper Style: Chest Zipper Committed to being the leading brand in beach fashion and surf culture, Billabong brings us 5/4 Furnace Ultra Hooded Fullsuit in the myriads of wetsuits in the market. It sports a sleek design with a subtle logo at the sleeve, chest, leg, and back. But aesthetics are just a part why they’re gaining positive feedback and reviews. Enthusiasts from all over agree to the company’s claim that they are the warmest in the market. It could be true as it has a Drymax entry mechanism that keeps heat in and water out. But the … Read more
