If you're getting this newsletter, chances are we share an obsession with surfing to the point it's mildly alarming to those closest to us. And if that's the case, we may also share a frustration with the current state of surf media. On one hand, there has never been so much surf content available. It's not only plentiful, a lot of it is great, and the vast majority of it is free. This is all positive. But at times it also feels like we've sacrificed quality for quantity.

I'm writing this newsletter because I'm on a mission to find the absolute finest surfing content out there, regardless of source, safe from the insidious influence of algorithms and paywalls, for one purpose only: to increase your stoke quotient for the week 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽. That's it. And if you like what I'm doing, I'd appreciate you forwarding the email to others, or direct them to the signup form here. If you have any feedback or ideas on how to improve, you can respond directly and/or email me at henry@shredsledz.net. Thanks for reading.

Here's what I wrote on Instagram: "Surfing’s past, present and future collide: old school aficionado Joel Tudor, whose approach has always been informed by the classics, surfing Kelly’s wave pool, perhaps the most futuristic piece of surfing technology ever created. The same concept extends to the equipment, too. Tudor is riding a 7'0" THC Surfboards Magic Model shaped by shaper Hoy Runnels, inspired by the original 70s eggs made in San Diego. I believe the spray was done by longtime airbrusher Tom Curtiss. Just don’t call it a midlength (though you could argue there’s no richer tradition in surfing than arguing over the smallest differences in language and etiquette)."
