Thursday 30 June 2022 As Steve Martin once said "I'm a wild and crazy guy!" Well, the surf conditions this weekend are going to be similar. Here is Spike's special forecast for the Vans Duct Tape Invitational at Muizies.

Wednesday 29 June 2022 In his latest podcast, Steve talks to Matt about his trip to Jaws in Hawaii, his new role as a dad and his thoughts on life, the universe and big waves. Oh and what about THAT wave at Nias! OMG

Wednesday 29 June 2022 If you haven't seen the Lost Tapes about Kelly Slater, you should. It's done extremely well. It does not treat him like a God, but a man, despite what the pic suggests. Episode 1 starts in Australia.

Wednesday 29 June 2022 Beaches are closed in Plettenberg Bay - and ocean users in the Southern Cape have been cautioned - after a shark killed a man swimming in the backline just north of Robberg yesterday.

Tuesday 28 June 2022 Cape Town's Jordy Maree has always been destined for big things, and the defending Nias Pro champion reminded us again this year with runner-up spot in pumping 6-8' surf at Lagundri Bay.

Friday 24 June 2022 Matt McGillivray and Jordy Smith were relegated to the elimination round in 4-6ft Rio yesterday. Jordy, in particular, can feel aggrieved. Saffa fans seem to be, writes Spike.
