Atlantic Cyclogenesis: Birth of a Superstorm

The animated birth, or cyclogenesis, of an Atlantic superstorm pieced together from satellite scans. This fascinating video shows not only the development of the large scale low that'll be bringing surf to the whole of west facing Europe over the next few days, but also the remnants of Hurricanes Fay and a fledgling Hurricane Gonzalo. It's a sublime concept - that tiny perturbations in fault line between warm and cold air can build and grow into something at such macro scale that it pushes the limits of our technology to be able to even visualise it.

This giant storm then creates thousands of waves of energy which, back on the micro scale, will tuck into every west facing European beach and cove as breaking waves. From the romantic to the practical; this storm is looking like great news for surfers, albeit with some issues. The issues are it's proximity to the Western European coastline and the south westerly air flow that'll create. The storm as we write. Hero 4.

NEW GoPro Cameras - A Surfer's Guide

If you're in the market for your first GoPro, or just looking to upgrade, the decision should be a little easier for you this time around. Three new cameras have been announced, the Hero 4 Black edition, Hero 4 Silver edition and the budget friendly GoPro Hero. This last option at sub £100 ($130) is the value proposition and priced to compete with the cheap and nasty GoPro clones we have seen flooding the market from Asia. The specifications of the various different cameras can be a bit overwhelming for the average prospective GoPro user so we've produced a handy reference table of the key features: The table is split into three sections, video, photo and connectivity, we'll break down how you'll use the camera in each area and where the benefits lie for surfers so you can more easily figure out your best option. The video breakdown Most of the guys in the office use their GoPros for video over stills.

Kolohe Wants Pizza

— Morgan Freeman, VISA commercial, 9/7/14 I think it’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves for some time now. Then, slightly bigger Kolohe qualified for the major leagues, joining the WCT ranks in 2012, and right off the bat, I think we all asked ourselves the same question: “Can Kolohe order a pizza from behind the rock at Snapper? Now, full-grown Kolohe, euro goatee and everything, is in full-flight as a marketable surf professional, and again, the questions.

It was a great question. Turns, out, if that ad can be believed, and I’ll just assume that it can and ignore the small print at the bottom of the screen, Kolohe can indeed order pizza from inside the barrel at Teahupoo. Ah, but the big question that you may be asking yourself. Admit it, you’d have jumped at the chance to make that commercial.

Atlantic Storm Take Two

In its evolution Take Two is a very different storm but the results: massive swell and gale force winds coupled with huge spring tides make for a similarly apocalyptic vibe. However, in general, this is not a good storm for surfing anything but the most tucked away of locations. Both storms offer big black blobs on the swell chart just west of the United Kingdom, but the differences are worth exploring: Hercules began life on the US East Coast, rapidly intensifying as it moved out of Canadian waters and it grew into a monster spanning the whole North Atlantic. Pushing east at the perfect speed to continue to build energy into the swell it was characterised not just by huge peak sea heights, but by an incredible peak period and consistent, sustained winds.

Des cours de surf pour améliorer son bien-être

Surtout si vous êtes en dépression... Au Royaume-Uni, le système de la santé publique (National Health Service, NHS) a débloqué £10.000 (environ 12.000 euros) pour aider les jeunes à lutter contre la dépression, l'autisme, le manque d'estime de soi... par la pratique du surf. Pour s'inscrire au Wave Project, rapportent nos confrères du Huffington Post UK, il faut être âgé de 8 à 21 ans et être recommandé par son école, les services sociaux ou par exemple, une association caritative pour le deuil. Pour l'instant, les résultats sont très positifs. Pourquoi ça marche? Lire aussi: » VIDEOS. "Ce qui est super, c'est que ça n'a pas l'air d'être une thérapie pour ces jeunes, mais il y a des principes thérapeutiques derrière, comme la réduction de l'anxiété, la promotion de la confiance et du bien-être", explique Joe Taylor, qui a dirigé le projet.

La première conférence mer et santé se prépare

Pour alimenter son blog, Guillaume Barucq défriche depuis plusieurs années les articles scientifiques liés à la mer et à la santé. C’est ainsi qu’il a rencontré le docteur Dominique Hoareau, qui a publié récemment « Les Thérapies marines » et « Nutrithérapie marine » (aux éditions Piktos), ainsi qu’une somme sur la « Thalassothérapie » (éditions Chiron). « Cette rencontre et d’autres découvertes m’ont convaincu de la pertinence d’organiser une conférence internationale sur la mer et la santé. Et aujourd’hui, j’ai le bonheur de confirmer qu’elle se tiendra les vendredi 4 et samedi 5 octobre au centre Bellevue.

La Ville de Biarritz a décidé de soutenir l’événement, ainsi que plusieurs autres partenaires, dont les Laboratoires de Biarritz. » Des algues qui soignent.

Now, one look at a photo of palm trees swaying in front of an impossibly blue-green ocean transports me back to the islands—relaxing on the beach and listening to the sound of waves crashing on the shore.

By Phil Vinter Published: 02:17 GMT, 1 May 2012 | Updated: 08:02 GMT, 1 May 2012 Surfers are known for going to extreme lengths in search of that perfect wave, but these adrenaline junkies really pushed things to the limit when they risked their lives by Newlyn Pier off the south coast of Cornwall.

Suicide surfers: Adrenaline junkies risk their lives trying to ride a wave perilously close to a pier off the Cornish south coast

While many were bemoaning the heavy rainfalls and high winds this pair of daredevils took to the sea. In flippers and a wetsuit the daring duo paddled their boogie boards to within just a few metres of a pier as high winds generated huge swells in the cold waters. These pictures capture the moment a huge wave reminds the pair of the power of nature by throwing them up in the air as it sweeps through before hitting the pier. The dramatic photos show just how lucky the pair were to avoid being smashed into the nearby wall.
