Some people sign up to volunteer.

Then some people show up and somehow become mission control. 😂

Huge shoutout to @schassis.eddi.

Eddi came down from Vancouver, filled out our volunteer form, and was one of the first people on site Saturday morning.

Then event-day chaos kicked in.

Generator went down multiple times.
Starlink went offline.
The stream had to be brought back.
I ate shit into the river and took the megaphone swimming with me. 😂

Every time something went sideways, Eddi was already working on it.

He helped get power back online, kept the Starlink and livestream moving, grabbed the wet mic and started drying it out, watched over the media setup, and still somehow spent the day running all over the surf park shooting photos and video from every angle.

A huge part of our sound, stream and media coverage stayed alive because this dude just kept solving problems.

That’s what this event became about. People showing up, seeing what needed to happen, and making it happen.

Much love, Eddi. Vancouver sent us a good one. 🤙

And huge love to @ariel.lee.diehl, @volcom, @volcomsurf and @volcomwomens for helping bring Slice & Shred to life.

More winning rides, community stories and the people behind Slice & Shred coming next.

🌊 THE WAITING POOL

Getting back to the line means navigating one of the sketchier little sections around The Wave. The waiting pool is shallow, rocky and full of sharp edges, so take your time.

1️⃣ MOVE SLOW
There are lots of sharp, uneven rocks and plenty of places to stub your toes. Take your time getting off your board and moving through the pool.

2️⃣ THREE POINTS OF CONTACT
Use your hands and feet when climbing or stepping through the rocks. Stability matters more than speed.

3️⃣ WATCH FOR SLIPPERY ROCKS
Algae can make the rocks extremely slick. Conditions change depending on water levels and how recently the area has been scrubbed, so assume it may be slippery.

4️⃣ WORK BACK TO THE LINE
Carefully make your way through the pool and rocky edge toward the waiting line. Some surfers hang out in the pool while they wait, others keep moving back toward the pier.

Ahead of the Volcom Slice & Shred, @CommunityWax is sharing some of the basics to help new surfers understand The Wave and feel more comfortable navigating the river.

In this video, @is.rodhouse walks us through the waiting pool and, in her words, explains why “it’s sketchy.”

GOING OVER KRICKETS WAVE 🌊

If you don’t make the eddy after your ride and you’re committed to going over Krickets, knowing what to do before you get there is important.

1️⃣ GET CENTERED
Paddle to the center of Krickets before going over. There are sharp rock hazards on both sides, so staying centered is the number one priority.

2️⃣ FEET UP + STAY OFF YOUR BOARD
Keep your body flat, hands up and feet up. Do not sit or lay on your board going over the rapid. Your weight can drive the fins into the rocks, breaking a fin or damaging the fin box.

3️⃣ RECOVER YOUR BOARD
Once you’re through Krickets, recover your board as quickly as you safely can. Your safety and position in the river come first.

4️⃣ GET TO THE EDGE
Swim or paddle toward the nearest bank and eddy. Keep your feet up until you reach the shallow water at the edge. Foot entrapment is a real risk, so don’t put your feet down early.

Ahead of the Volcom Slice & Shred, @Communitywax is sharing some of the basics to help new surfers understand The Wave and feel more comfortable getting out there.

In this video, @is.rodhouse and @elijahkpyle walk us through going over Krickets while @maggie.osulli demonstrates.
