Meet Joana Andrade, Portugal's first big wave female surfer.

Big wave surfing can be extremely dangerous and requires perseverance and steady nerves.

For many years, this breathtaking discipline has been represented by extraordinary male athletes and somehow restricted to women who looked "more feminine" riding average-sized waves.

April signals the beginning of the World Surf League (WSL) season where elite athletes ride the best waves on planet earth.

Were we to dream of a sport with the least environmental footprint, surfing would likely be at the top of the list - biological energy in the form of waves and human muscle powers the entire system.

No lifts, no lights, no stadiums, no fields, no engines, no gear except for a surfboard, shorts and the occasional wetsuit.

Stand-up paddling and paddleboarding are the fastest growing water sports in the world. And it is easy to figure out why.

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is not a new outdoor activity. It dates back to the early 1900s when Hawaiians propelled themselves on a floating platform using a paddle.

One-hundred years later, the pastime became a serious business and expanded to California and the rest of the world boosted by the digital age and social media.

There is a reason why someone decides to mix rap music with classic longboarding.

Ryan Cannon is a filmmaker from New York who moved to California and immediately fell in love with its vibrant surf culture.

But Cannon missed the urban cultural elements that define the Empire State. So, he launched "Log Rap," a YouTube and social media movement that marries both worlds.

The inventor of the Slingwing says that the new product by Slingshot was not designed to replace windsurfing or kitesurfing.

The origins of wing surfing date back to the mid-1980s, when Tom Magruder invented the Wind Weapon and rode it in the Columbia River Gorge.

More recently, snow windsurfers used portable sails to glide across frozen lakes.

For the first time in its long history, surfing will take part in the Olympic Games.

The sport of riding waves makes its Olympic debut in Tokyo 2020, nearly 100 years after pioneer surfer, Duke Kahanamoku envisioned that one day it would happen.

The world has around 25 million active surfers, but the sport appeals to a broader audience eager to embrace beach life.

Have you bought a new surfboard leash? Did the leash string break after a wipeout? Learn how to install it correctly.

There are many ways of installing a surfboard leash and, at first glance, it seems quite obvious how it's done.

However, some techniques are far from perfect and could eventually put you in a dangerous situation, especially in challenging ocean conditions.

Have you ever felt that your old kite is not behaving as it used to? Maybe your kite bar and lines need an adjustment.

With time, lines tend to stretch, and when you pull your bar, the kite tends to back stall. Why? Because small particles of sand and dust will get into your lines, making them thicker and, overall, slightly shorter.

So, nothing like a smart kite hack to bring the old feel back to your favorite wing.

If you haven't already tried stand-up paddling, you've got to put it on your list of things to do.

If you've already had a chance to participate in this ever-growing activity, you already know how fun and exciting it can be. You can enhance your experience that much more by taking your board out after the sun goes down.

Nighttime stand-up paddling is becoming increasingly popular because it offers boarders an entirely new experience.

A stand-up paddleboarder has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly hitting a 56-year-old swim coach and surfer with a paddle.

On June 26, 2018, Kevin Eslinger and Paul Taylor Konen were surfing at Sunset Cliffs, in San Diego, California.

After an altercation and exchange of words between the two, Eslinger was attacked by Konen. The aggressor used his paddle to hit the victim's head.

The World Surf League (WSL) announced the nominees for the 2019 Big Wave Awards.

It's one of the best-edited highlight reels of the 2018/2019 winter season. "Brusco" puts Nicolau Von Rupp alongside the best performers in big wave surfing.

Von Rupp was born on August 2, 1990, in Portugal. He is the son of a German father and Portuguese mother and speaks fluently five languages.

Rupp has always lived in Praia Grande, a famous beach break located in Sintra. He started surfing at the age of nine and soon after Nic was already wearing a competitive jersey.

Surf Lakes that they are rebuilding the wave generating machine installed in their testing site at Yeppoon, Queensland, in Australia.

After a soft launch that revealed a new wave pool concept based on a concentric wave formula, Surf Lakes is ready to step up their game.

"With external investigations and associated testing to the prototype now completed and the redesign efforts also finished, the re-build of the machine is now underway," notes Mal Borgeaud, CEO of Surf Lakes.

"Due to numerous external factors potentially affecting scheduling, i.e., weather, we are not in a position to communicate an exact date for when the machine will be online again."

According to the Australian wave pool company, the works are well on track for completion of repairs and phase two testing before June 30, 2019.

"We are taking our time with the redesign and rebuild to ensure we do everything possible to eliminate the risk of further delays," added Borgeaud.

"It has taken a bit longer, but we would rather spend the time now being more thorough, in the lead up to phase two testing."

Long Head-High Waves

Surf Lakes is expected to produce full-sized wave faces and length when they finally test the machine at maximum capacity.

Meanwhile, the firm's 5 Waves technology continues to receive inquiries from around the globe, now edging close to 300.

According to Aaron Trevis, the founder of Surf Lakes, inquiries have been from large development companies looking at creating larger residential and retail precincts, through to sole operators who wish to create stand-alone surf and action sports parks with an eye on the glamping market.

"The interest in Surf Lakes 5 Waves tech shows no signs of slowing down," states Trevis.

"As more people are exposed to artificial wave technology, be it us or any other technology in the market place, we are finding there is more demand due to non-surfing people being genuinely excited about the prospect of being able to try surfing."
