Though the south shores of the Hawaiian islands see surf during the summer months, Tatiana Weston-Webb (HAW) decided to try her luck in another part of the Pacific. From one paradise to another, Weston-Webb knows how to appreciate the end of a good day. -- @tatiwest: first few hours in Bali went like dis...😍💛🌅 || photo: @fariacaio

Dusty Payne (HAW) is already in South Africa doing turns like this. He may be down in the rankings, but he's clearly up for the challenge. Threat level for the J-Bay Open? Serious. -- @dusty_payne: It doesn't get much better than beautiful South Africa and JBay || 📷 @jimmicane @volcom @volcomsurf @surfingmagazine

Turns out when Simon Anderson isn't inventing the thruster or out surfing, he's got a keen eye for surf photography. Granted when Laura Enever (AUS) is your subject, it's pretty hard to screw up. -- @lauraenever: I can't feel my hands but winter at Home has been fun! @simonanderson1 took this being photographer in between surfs 💃

Dane Reynolds (USA) is going to surf in his third CT event of the year at the J-Bay Open. The California native is typically humble and reserved. and has expressed serious gratitude. But as the event draws closer, he's now bordering on excitement. -- @sealtooth: posting selfie surf pics without context feels weird, but i'm going to j bay and i'm stoked, so check me out! this was morocco in jan. i'd love to see sparring partners @dillonperillo_ and @yadin_nicol carve up some j bay walls,,, 😎😎😎 frame grab @miniblanchard

After four months of back-to-back contests, the world's Top 17 women have finally earned a break. Some rest is probably a good idea, but Dimity Stoyle (AUS) appears to be having separation anxiety -- sometimes friends make the best kind of opponents. -- @dimity: A month without this mate is too long!!! @sageerickson #fromwhereyoudratherbe ! Thanks for the photo @williekessel 🇲🇽🌵

This is Jeffreys Bay as seen through the lens of Tahiti's Michel Bourez (PYF). That's right, Bourez is back. -- @bourezmichel: #jbay

Summer's serious lack of waves in California was no problem for Courtney Conlogue (USA), who happened to be in Nias for the Indian Ocean swell...making everyone jealous. -- @courtneyconlogue: The other Green Room ! 📷 Jake Marote
