Weird Waves Season 2: Glacier Surfing (Alaska) | Surf | VANS

The Weird Waves Crew wanted to start off season 2 with a bang. They may have taken the idea a little too literally by traveling to Alaska to potentially ride a wave made from falling ice, which makes a deafening crack with each piece of glacier that breaks off to form a wave... no biggie. In this episode they also check out what the locals on the Turnagain Arm are calling, ‘America’s longest wave.’ Saddle up, partners! Season Two of Weird Waves is coming in hot! Well… cold, actually.

I swear the surfers in these remote spots always have the best attitudes and outlooks.

Almost as if living in a bustling city isn't what humans are mentally or physically evolved for...

@@benperham I know right... I moved out of the city this year, to the coast where I've always wanted to live. Literally everything has got better, only now do I truly appreciate what people mean when they say what you said.

So happy that this happened. Keep up the good work dude, can't wait to watch the rest of the season!

[@theodoreabbott6486]

Yesss!!! I was wondering when weird waves would be back. Iv missed this series so much.

[@spaceaddict5484]

The more I watch these the more I realize I never knew what surfing really was. It's not even the action that is surfing....it's a lifestyle. Clearly these guys are constantly in the surf, you go through the waves of life, then catch that actual wave and reach the pinnacle of existence. The deeper the troughs you go through, and the higher the peaks you ride, the more beautiful the ride. It's all about the ride 🤙

[@zoeguile]

Thank you for kind of showing some ladies surfing! More please, they exist!!!

kookshark reminds me of burton hathaway

[@waxinggibbous7820]

This is a fantastic medium to showcase froth communities around the globe, what a great episode! Show casing why people start surfing... to have fun. You should come surf Darwin NT Australia, there is a select few frothers who brave the environment in the name of stoke.

[@holo96able1]

grueling conditions, yet the happiest surfers I have seen!

[@caswunn]

Forgive my surf ignorance. But these 40 degree water temps. Those wet suits make it to where the water isn’t mind numbing Cold??? These guys aren’t even shivering and their face is exposed. I’ve never worn a wet suit or anything.

Thanks for showcasing the local talent, cool video. Cheers!

[@ebybbob]

Yasss!! Finally got to the Turnagain Arm! Surfing it is like a religious experience!

[@AlissaandJager]

Surfing a glacier wave would be sick but it also makes me sad to think that their breaking is likely from climate change :(

[@nurseness86]

Honey, how do you think the grand canyon was formed??? Don't fall for the climate change bs... the climate has been evolving long before humans even knew what the climate was!

[@AlissaandJager]

countrygirlcna69 alright let me rephrase... “the melting of glaciers is likely due to expedited climate change, brought about by the actions of humans PAIRED WITH natural processes”

[@esnyder77]

Alissa Lyn glaciers flow like a super slow river, that’s what they are doing here

[@kookvision9295]

Great series, I hope this keeps going. I find most surf content unwatchable at present. This and stab in the dark are shining lights.

[@ChalkRiverProductions]

50% Costco boards in the water. Does that mean Costco boards like Wavestorm are shit? I've always rented gear in the past when surfing in Nova Scotia. But I want to make the jump this year and buy a board.

It's cool cuz there r surfer bro-moondohs everywhere on earth. Lol.. I live in milwaukee and now from the great lakes episode, I know surf bro moondohs exist right down in Racine.

From Mel FL. (Gravy is actually here this week or 2 coincidentally) but our obsession of wave riding isn't normal. Thank you for bringing this "novelty sesh" I also really siked over that special that one older former pro on catching that right point novelty (his name escapes me at moment...but Great Stuff!) YEWWWWW!!

[@jose1951muniz]

You must see the Pororoca Phenomena. When the Atlantic Ocean invades the Amazon river with its tides and results on the weirdest and longest waves at South America. This happens on a Temperature above 30ºc.

Hey John, that tidal bore is a lot bigger than thumbolinas huh!
