Who doesn’t like a trip to the seaside? Most don’t know that surfing was where Slidetoberfest all began. It was the germ of the original idea when we started this whole shebang in the first place…. More

Mr Roach has been going to Japan regularly for a many moons, exploring the megalopolis and coastlines alike, sampling the multifarious culture Japan is known for. Japan is almost like a second home to Harry, he knows his… More

It was two days prior to the start date of the Trestles Surf Relik competition, and Harry was 2400 miles away being kept company by scorpions and rattle snakes in Southern Baja. Covered in dust, Harry… More

I like things to go out with a bang, but in a good way. The Pacific recently gave So Cal that good send off with a long duration of a farewell summer swell. Providing a 2-3… More

Its a big mean world out there, everyone is tense, everything is controversial. Professional athletes of motocross and surfing, battling for world titles with millions of dollars at stake and sponsors and corporations to please. Well…… More

I’ve seen photos and videos from Mexico, even heard the occasional stories from those who have been there. Compared to one another these narratives all seem to follow the same common theme: of street tacos, perfect… More

The fourth and final board in Harrison’s 2018 quiver, well, you could say it was the board we’d been waiting for… Or perhaps I should say it was what we expected, finally, a tiny one! There… More

The only thing that rumbled more than the earthquake in Indonesia last week was the Indian Ocean. A gigantic storm turned the forecasting maps to a rarely seen colour, that of white. And white was not… More

There ain’t nothing like a three-hour ride pre-dawn without a pair of goggles. At 80km’s an hour the eyes really start to water. Add to that the dim headlight of a rental bike and we were… More

Sunday morning broke just like the past three. Except the low tide was a half an hour lower than it had been yesterday. Heads laden with the remnants of last night made for the somewhat late arrival of… More

The festival of feet over the nose and dancing on your toes rose a little bit later than usual after a massive night with Australian band LIME CORDIALE bashing out some blistering tunes in the Deus… More

The Deus Canggu Womp Comp, now into its fifth year, would have to be of one of our most fun events. A mish-mash of smash-crash bodysurfing, well admired water abilities and slapstick comedy routines. The first… More

We can’t believe it’s been a whole year since we ran the last Deus 9ft & Single Surf, Music, Art & Film Fest. But it has and just after 7 am this morning the first heat… More
