Surfing Like Ancients: Hawai‘i Rooted
Tom Pohaku Stone handcrafts traditional Hawaiian surfboards to ride the waves of time on the windward side of Oʻahu.
Tom’s favorite surfboard is not a modern fiberglass board, but the board he has built with his own hands, using techniques that have been passed down through generations.
He first learned of hand-crafting wooden surfboards from his father, who once carved a board for him in the traditional way. Although as a child he told his father he hated the traditional surfboard, he grew to appreciate the gift and now sees the importance of passing on the tradition of the craft.
When asked about why surfing is so special to Native Hawaiians, Tom explains that Hawaiians have surfed waves for generations, and will always continue to surf waves. For him, standing upon a wood board is like listening to a beautiful symphony, a harmonization between the wind, the motion of the water, and the breaking of the wave.
As an educator, craftsman and former pro surfer, Tom continues to revive and perpetuate lost aspects of Hawaiian culture. By perfecting the art of crafting surfboards in the traditional Hawaiian way, he feels it’s his kuleana (responsibility) to continue passing on the tradition to the next generation.

Anything that is worth pursuing is going to require us to suffer, just a little bit, says surf photographer Chris Burkard, as he explains his obsession with the coldest, choppiest, most isolated beaches on earth. With jawdropping photos and stories of places few humans have ever seen — much less surfed — he draws us into his personal crusade against the mundane.

Surfing perfect waves in the Transkei: Mdumbi
The winter time down in The Transkei in South Africa means two things; sardines and waves! This complex combination makes for some interesting times, as big fish chase the sardines in and out of line ups.
Luckily the sardines seem to keep the marine life interested but an outsized Zambezi did chase Steve Pike and friends out the water at Lwandile a few days back.
Today the waves are really big again. Too big for Mdumbi unless you could hitch a ride or to the very back. Some of the guys staying here at Freedom 'O Clock across the river are giving it a go right now.
More of this stuff at get in touch if you need an exclusive surfing, diving or fishing adventure arranged.
