Surfing is largely influenced by wave grouping and the interplay of constructive and destructive interference. Let's understand how they affect the quality of the surf.

Waves begin their life with the wind. It's the original and most fundamental principle - without wind, there are no waves.

The friction created by wind blowing over the ocean surface initiates the formation of ripples, which gradually grow into waves.

The existence of rogue waves, the colossal and unpredictable oceanic phenomena, has captivated the imagination of sailors for centuries.

These waves, often referred to as "monster waves," were once thought to be mere myths until a groundbreaking event in 1995.

A towering 26-meter rogue wave crashed into the Draupner oil platform in the North Sea.

Have you ever thought how cool it would be to design and build your own private, custom-made wave pool? Well, you're not alone. Here are a few examples of people who tried it.

Imagine you or one of your friends owning a small piece of land with enough space to dig a hole and create a pool-like structure.

And to make things even more interesting, one of your friends is an engineer who knows about fluid mechanics.

Making waves is no longer the surf world's best-kept secret. However, there are many paths to paradise. Here's an ingenious wave pool solution.

Nicolas Cage's latest film, "The Surfer," marks a new chapter in the acclaimed actor's multifaceted career.

The psychological surf thriller, directed by Lorcan Finnegan, known for "Vivarium," unfolds in Cage's character's beachside hometown in Australia, a stark shift from the bustling life he built in the U.S.

Upon his return, he faces humiliation at the hands of a local surf gang at a beach he once cherished, sparking a relentless battle that tests the limits of his sanity.

He is a Pipeline specialist who doesn't need a board to get barreled and noticed. Mark Cunningham is the human torpedo and probably the most admired bodysurfer on the planet.

He uses his body like a surfboard and has been "The Transformer."

Mark Cunningham was born in 1955 in Milton, Massachusetts, to an Irish air traffic controller father and a Lithuanian mother.

The injury was a ruptured eardrum, doomed by a hard smack of cold Atlantic seawater.

It wasn't a particularly punchy day by any means, just the ocean reminding me of my fragility.

The doctor said, "No surfing for two months." I was devastated. Surfing had been my life; it had priority over almost everything.

It consistently produces one of the world's biggest, heaviest, and most dangerous waves, and it's often deemed a surfer's ultimate proving ground. Here's everything you must know about Pipeline, the mother of all waves.

Pipeline is Hawaii's signature wave and one of the archipelago’s Crown Jewels, and it's easy to understand why.

It’s steep, hollow, fast, intense, and ruthless; it can simultaneously be terrifying, powerful, exhilarating, addictive, and mentally challenging.

Laura Enever set a new Guinness World Record (GWR) for the largest paddle-in wave ever ridden by a female surfer.

On January 22, 2023, the Australian athlete surfed a 43.6 feet (13.3 meters) wave at Outer Reef on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.

"I knew it was big when I paddled into it, and then when I took off, I looked down, and I knew it was definitely the biggest wave I've ever caught," said Enever.

The world's first attempt to build an efficient artificial surfing reef took place in 1971.

Unfortunately, despite the several projects built since then, there were only a couple of structures successfully generating good, rideable waves.

An artificial surfing reef is a man-made structure placed on the seabed designed to enhance wave characteristics, making the waves more suitable for surfing.

Kelly Slater rode the first-ever artificial wave produced at Surf Abu Dhabi, the world's largest wave pool built to date.

It's located on Hudayriyat Island in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The most successful competitive surfer of all time and the mastermind behind the Surf Ranch had the privilege to experience the second facility featuring his trademark wave pool technology.

He is one of the greatest competitive athletes in the history of professional surfing who has not won a world title. Here's the story of Jordy Smith.

A powerful carver, a superb tube rider, a master aerialist, and an astute strategist are rare attributes to find in a professional surfer.

Jordan Michael Smith was born on February 11, 1988, in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, to teacher Luellen and surfboard shaper Graham Smith.

Justine Dupont claimed the top honors at the inaugural New Big Wave Challenge awards held in Nazaré, Portugal.
