GOLD FOR CAROLINE: “It’s really hard to put into words what this feeling is like,” @caroline_markss said after winning the 2024 Paris Olympics Gold Medal. “I feel like it hasn’t really hit me yet. I’m just really happy and trying to soak everything in because it’s probably the best day of my life.” At 22-years-old, the Florida native is now the youngest woman to win Olympic gold in surfing. Congrats, Caroline!

We all have our own vision of what a perfect day is, but there’s something more special about a perfect day, or any day, in Jacksonville. In our latest segment presented by @visit_jax, North Florida legend @danes_brain talks his surfing career, @florida_board_riders , and why there’s nothing like surfing in Jacksonville.

Purpose Through the Process with Cheyne Cottrell | The Christian Surfers Podcast

In this powerful episode of the Christian Surfers Podcast, host Mark Sawyer-Chu sits down with former pro surfer & co-owner of Island Water Sports surf shop, Cheyne Cottrell, for an honest conversation about family legacy, surf culture, ministry, and a life shaped across continents by faith.

Cheyne shares his journey growing up in Florida around Island Water Sports, a surf shop founded by his father that later became a platform for ministry and community. What began as a surf business soon became a bridge into church planting and outreach, shaping Cheyne’s early understanding of purpose and calling.

As a teenager, his life shifted when his family moved to South Africa to help pioneer Christian Surfers South Africa. There, surfing, church, and mission life became deeply intertwined as his father helped grow a movement connecting surfers to Jesus.

He also shares the impact of loss after the passing of his father in South Africa, and how his family has continued to live out faith through ministry, education, and service.

Through it all, Cheyne reflects on identity, ambition, grief, and what it means to live with an eternal perspective - seeing surfing not as the destination, but as a tool to serve people and share Jesus.

This is a story of legacy, faith, surf culture, and learning to trust God through every season.

There’s a romantic idea of surf travel that we all pine for. Calm mornings, swell lines, empty lineups, long rides, and plenty of time to eat, rest, rinse, repeat.

Add young kids into that equation, and it usually becomes something else entirely: compromises, missed windows, and surf sessions squeezed into the margins of family life.

@pavonespoint has a way of undoing that.

One of the best contests in New Smyrna Beach’s history … is that description too dramatic? Too much hyperbole? We don’t think so. From the skate contest to city of tents to the surf action, the 2026 Mike Martin Pro was one for the record books. Hit the bio link to read more about the event, big wins from @camrichards and @dayamccart and more. 📸 @carolbishopsearsphotography by @unitedbysurfing

We get it: you’re looking for more energy to surf and get about your day. But truth is, most of today’s energy drinks straight up aren’t good for you. That’s why @zoniebev_az exists. Not only is it tasty; it’s actually good for your brain and your longevity. Head over to the site to read more about how Zonie is ushering in a new era for energy drinks. by @unitedbysurfing
