Well, we’re by no means advocating traveling internationally during a pandemic – but if you do happen to find yourself in a place with an outrageous swell and nobody else around, what would you? Surf it of course. That’s exactly what Ian Crane, Nat Young, Michael Dumphy, Griffin Colapinto, Anthony Ruffo, and Brandon Guilmette did just a short while ago in Mexico, taking advantage of some perfect conditions to remember what it feels like to get stylish on waves.

Female surfers have fought for years to be included in big wave competitions, despite overarching patriarchal attitudes that insisted that they weren’t up to the challenge. Pioneer big wave surfer Paige Alms will even tell you about the time when an announcer at the Mavericks Big Wave Invitational said that "girls just aren’t good enough", even though she and her friends were already surfing the same waves as men.

Jimmy Chin Gets Sandbagged in YETI’s Short Film

When a guy like Jimmy Chin says he’s out of his comfort zone that means a lot. Even though he’s summited Everest multiple times, put down the first ascent on Meru, crossed the Chang Tang Plateau on foot, and won a shiny Academy Award, Chin still hasn’t done it all. In an interview, he was once asked what’s next on the list, and he replied, “get barreled.” When photographer Jeff Johnson heard that, he assembled an all star team—Mark Healey, Jon Rose, Keith Malloy, and Dan Malloy—to get Chin in
