GoPro Goodies
WSL
Nat Young (USA) finished 13th in the world in 2014. If he can find waves like this from a freesurf in Portugal, there's a good chance he'll find himself among the Top 10 in 2015.
Jordy Smith (ZAF) covers left during the 2014 Fiji Pro and shares an underwater glimpse of Cloudbreak's treacherous reef.
C.J. Hobgood (USA) snagged one of two World Surf League injury wildcard spots to compete on the Samsung Galaxy Championship Tour in 2015. He didn't have the best competitive year in 2014, but this video, submitted during the Fiji Pro, shows he definitely had fun.
Pauline Ado (FRA) will have to fight her way through the Qualifying Series if she hopes to compete again on the women's Samsung Galaxy Championship Tour. But even in defeat, Ado was all smiles at the end of 2014.
Kelly Slater (USA) surfed well during the 2014 season, but luck seemed to elude him at every critical stage along the way. Still, the 11-time World Champ didn't appear to lose his surf mojo. This perfect little barrel from The Box in Australia was among the gems.
Kai Otton (AUS) skipped the Billabong Rio Pro in 2014, to be there for the birth of his first child. If there was one contest Otton was glad he didn't have to miss a safe bet would be the Billabong Pro Tahiti.
Australian Adrian Buchan also became a first-time dad in 2014. He happened upon a few perfect waves during the Portugal GoPro Challenge.
Laura Enever (AUS) never made it past the Quarterfinals in a CT event in 2014. But the Australian natural-footer double-qualified for the 2015 Championship Tour. During the Maui GoPro Challenge, she showed off the consistency that has helped keep her in the game.
Though Aritz Aranburu (ESP) fell off the tour for 2015, he took full advantage of his time in between heats. This entry from Portugal is one of four he submitted.
Mick Fanning (AUS) finished second in the world in 2014 and won three contests, including the Moche Rip Curl Pro Portugal. On the way to his event win, Fanning found time for fun.
Nat Young (USA) finished 13th in the world in 2014. If he can find waves like this from a freesurf in Portugal, there's a good chance he'll find himself among the Top 10 in 2015.
