How did we all caught this “being busy” syndrome? When did it become normal to always be in a rush? How can we possibly spend our whole lives planning the future without never really being in the present? Our body and mind need a break [...]
Surfing: the sport of freedom? Surfing. It's the sport of freedom, they'll say. I've said it myself a million times. In the sea, sitting astride my surfboard I am free, unburdened, open, raw. "How strange it was to see men do something beautiful," Tim Winton [...]
"I hurtle on too long through the pounding submarine mist. End over end in my caul of bubbles until the turbulence is gone and I'm hanging limp in a faint green light while all heat ebbs from my chest and life begins to leach out [...]
Being introduced to the surfing world also comes with a whole new dialect. You’ll find yourself in conversations where you’ll think “what da fack are they talking about ?! What does 'swell' even mean?" Yep. The Saltyz got your back! Here are the top surf [...]
I’ve never been a fan of working out. Just hearing the word “cardio” makes me want to throw up. Oh, and I hate gyms. Throughout my life I kind of tried to train here and there, just because I was told that exercising was good. [...]
When surfing, we all go through a whole range of emotions, thoughts and worries. Although you might feel like you are the only one struggling with some internal battles, we assure you - we’re all in the same boat. The pro’s might make it look [...]

Wether we are pro-riders or pro-at-wiping-out, we all experience pretty serious tensions in our neck, shoulders and back from surfing. Treating yo'self with 10 minutes of stretching can significantly enhance your chances of feeling fresh for tomorrow's sesh, as well as increase your longevity. (Or [...]
Everyone can agree that everything related to surf is pretty cool. So are surf competitions. They're fun to watch, they connect us to our surfing inspirations and it's pretty nice to see people killing it at what they do best. But if you're new to [...]

Jinna Yang interviewed by Caitlin Creeper It's been three years since Jinna Yang quit her corporate job in New York City to pursue photography full time. What started as a late-night, weekend hobby turned into her everyday career through a lot of sweat, hard work [...]
Why do we get so weirdly embarrassed when we’re learning a new sport or skill or craft? PERSON: “Are these your paintings?” US: ‘Ya… but like, i’m JUST STARTING and I haven’t had any OFFICIAL TRAINING and this is just a HOBBY, and these paintings [...]
If you haven't read them yet, first read Part 1 and Part 2. Beyond the stormy boat ride and the wild pig BBQ, the real point to coming all the way here was obviously to surf impeccable waves. But we would be lying if we [...]
If you missed it, read: Part 1- The Getting There THE HABITATION We had settled into a modest land camp at the southern tip of the island. Six ocean front rooms with flower pattern mosquitos nets, a disproportionally spacious bathroom with a tiny sink, a shower [...]
Every cult has its mecca, that one place fanatics dream of experiencing with their own living soul. Surfing is no exception: Indonesia it is. In the last decade Indo has easily become the promised land for surfers and non-surfers alike, rapidly gaining popularity as one [...]
Photo par Morgan Maassen Soyons respectueux devant le possible dont nul ne sait la limite - Victor Hugo En lisant récemment mon dernier exemplaire de Surfer Magazine, j’en suis venue à réfléchir au concept de frontières ou plutôt au concept de limites. Bien sûr, d’un point [...]
I grew up in a first-world country in a family that was financially, in a word, fine. We weren't the richest, but we never starved, and I always had access to as much water as I wanted. It is insane to me now how much [...]
Le ciel est sombre. L’air froid me fouette le visage tandis qu’un puissant vent offshore forme des vagues lisses et bien définies. Il y a à peine cinq courageux dans l’eau. Un set se profile au loin et vient assombrir davantage l’horizon. Je suis trop [...]
I surf because I need a constant adrenaline rush, otherwise I get bored. I surf because I love hearing my heart beat after a nice long wave. I surf because when I face my fears, I make myself proud. I surf to feel free. I surf [...]
The Salty Souls just completed their first season Ayampe, Ecuador. Here, participant Ashley Dujlovic recaps the nine day experience. Sometimes it takes a week away with other strong, like-minded, and hilarious women to remind you that you are capable of anything. There are not enough [...]
C’est le retour de la saison froide (du moins pour ceux et celles qui se trouvent dans l’hémisphère nord), et qui dit températures fraîches, dit aussi saison du cocooning, des tartes aux pommes et des feux de foyer. C’est aussi le temps parfait pour s’envelopper [...]

We don't know about you guys, but in our world, most of the surfboards we own are of the dinged-up and yellowing variety. So it's nice every once in a while to escape down the rabbit hole of Board Porn: images of surfboards so beautifully [...]
This past summer I found myself in the tiny town, El Zonte, off the Pacific coast of El Salvador. I had spent close to a year living in the surf town of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua a couple years before and left regretting not [...]
15 septembre 2016 – Le Hurley Pro at Trestles et le Swatch Women’s Pro ont pris fin mercredi dernier sur les plages (plus ou moins ensoleillées) de la Californie. Alors que les vagues étaient au rendez-vous, c’est surtout l’élimination hâtive des leaders du circuit qui [...]
24 août 2016 - Ce sont dans des vagues généralement modestes que les amateurs ont pu assister à la 7e étape du circuit de la WSL tenue sur la célèbre vague tahitienne Teahupoo. La mythique gauche était au rendez-vous et les meilleurs surfeurs de la [...]
When you think "professional surfer" images of hotels, a wide selection of boards, surf coaches and strict diets might come to mind. But picture this: some of the most talented surfers in Latin America sleep in their board bags on the beach and split one [...]
A few weeks ago I hopped on a plane from Australia to take part in the first Salty Souls Experience for the season. And it is fair to say I came out a different person than I was when I went in. To try fit [...]
1- It's all about commitment. I know what you are thinking now : "Oh yeah, tell me something I don’t know!” Right? Well, I wish I could tell you something completely unexpected, that I’ve discovered a shortcut, or else that you just have to put [...]
