On the Road
The Northern Collective. #3: Raph Bruhwiler
A staple of the Canadian surf scene since his mid-teens, Raph Bruhwiler shoulders much of the responsibility for raising the Canadian professional surfing bar to where it is now. Raph has cemented himself as one of the hardest charging surfers in the cold water scene, gaining international acclaim for his style, his attitude, and interminable passion for surfing off our rugged coast.
A wave back to health
Dominic Traynor discovers the archipelago of The Canaries provides all he needs on the path back to well-being.
The Northern Collective. #2: Peter Devries
No slouch went it comes to surfing, Peter Devries has been well known among surfers north of the border. If you’re from Canada and you surf, you’ve been hearing about him for years. But it wasn’t until his fairytale win at the O’Neill Cold Water Classic Canada in 2009 that he became a household name.
Low season Brasil

Design=Function=Style
While I’m casually checking the web for surfing insprations, I always end up looking up one of Robin Kegel boards, under the Gato Heroi label. Robin’s boards stand out of the ordinary longboard scene, with unique shapes and even more elite glass jobs. Compared to the wide, fat single fin logs we’re used to seeing out of California, Robin’s logs are a whole world apart.
FACES of Margaret River
A follow up from FACES of the North Shore, this time in Caleb Davenport’s local town of Margaret River.
The Northern Collective. #1. Nico Manos
Say hello to Alexander Haro, from BC. Over the next few weeks he’ll be sharing his thoughts about surfers from Canada. Some you’ll know, some you won’t. We kick off week one with Nova Scotian Nico Manos.
Little packets of stokefulness…
A little while ago I rolled into the car park half an hour before dusk, not expecting much, not really expecting a rideable wave if i’m honest. Sea breezes were still blowing and at first sight they were crumbling barely knee high waves. Seconds before I turned tail and headed home, a set came through, hit the best bank on the beach and a familiar silhoueted figure carved it up smoothly with tip time and drop knee.
Ben Haworth at Croyde
Ben sent us this little logging session at Croyde from Sunday. Worth a few minutes to check out one of Britain’s better longboarders.
