Between stay-at-home orders, threats of fines for surfing and the off chance of getting shot at (if you happen to live in Costa Rica), there are plenty of reasons to steer clear of the beach right now. But if the sum total of those is somehow still not enough to keep you from paddling out, consider this: coastal breezes don’t care about our social distancing protocols and can carry the COVID-19 virus distances greater than 6 feet.

What does it take to top our “Clips of the Month” list? Well, depends on the month. Wave quality helps. A more technical maneuver or difficult line certainly ups your chances. We can all appreciate a good, kegging barrel. But sometimes the thing that puts a clip over the edge is a little harder to define. Sometimes the winner is simply the clip that causes our jaws to drop and our minds to wonder, “What. The. Actual. [email protected]#$.” This was one such month. While it was filled with WTF rides, from Tom Lowe’s Euro tunnel to Koa Smith’s below-sea-level screamer, but none was more baffling than the apartment-building-sized tube yawning behind an ant-sized Kai Lenny at Nazare. 1) @kai_lenny | Nazaré, Portugal Filmed by @plmiranda 2) @tomloweyo | Europe Filmed by @tomasmpbello 3) @koasmith | Silverbacks, Panama Filmed by @michaelveltmanmedia 4) @nicvonrupp | Nazaré, Portugal Filmed by @pinesi 5) @torreymeister | Backdoor Pipeline, Hawaii Filmed by @thor____ 6) @sebaztian_soto | Puerto Escondido, Mexico Filmed by @vandielliesmaeldias 7) @lukedavisthegrey | Morocco Filmed by @mustaphacola 8) @joaomariamendonca | Portugal Filmed by @hugoalmeida 9) @harrisonsan | Noosa, Australia Filmed by @r__cannon 10) @kota_iida | Gold Coast, Australia Filmed by @billy_leepope Animation by @burnt.out.matchbox.

You can't cop a fine for mindsurfing. This Golden State empty was shot by @jackboberphoto.

"Women in the lineup have it epic these days," says former 'CT surfer Jodi Cooper. "It’s social hour in the water. They can go out and meet their husband or their boyfriend or girlfriend. It’s easier to pick up a partner in the water than it is at the pub. It’s epic. My advice for young girls is to just have a great time and be a good person in the water. Being a good human in the water is important, and this is both a guy and a girl thing. With there being so many people in the water these days, I think good ethics in the water is such an attractive and positive thing to have and it will get you everywhere. Have respect, have patience, be kind, give a wave away, it makes you feel great." Hit our link in bio for more words of wisdom from the World Tour's first openly-gay surfer. Photo by @ryanheywood.
