Each year when cyclone season starts battering the Gold Coast with swell after swell, local and visiting tube-shooting enthusiasts flock to Kirra — and it’s easy to see why. When cyclones slam the east coast of Aus, the world-class sand-bottomed pointbreak starts cranking out thick-lipped dredging pits that seem to go on forever and ever. Kirra’s said thick-lipped pits made an appearance this past week when swell from Cyclone Uesi arrived on the Gold Coast a few days ago. As you’d expect, local all-stars like @stephaniegilmore and @joelparko showed up to claim their rightful spot in the oft-crowded Kirra lineup and guys like @kota_iida, @solibailey , @callummrobson and more foamball wranglers pocketed more than a few wild rides. Make sure to watch until the end of the edit, when Kirra turns into a throat, latte-colored tube machine. Video by @billy_leepope.

This freakish Panamanian slab doesn't even make sense but @koasmith manages to knife through it anyways. Head to our site to watch Koa breakdown his below sea level slab hunt. Video by @michaelveltmanmedia.

In the first and second episodes of the "Ultra-Core Surf Hour with Jon Wayne Freeman", we find our exceptionally-average hero setting his sights at that all-to-elusive area for most surfers just above the lip. Freeman enlists the help of aerial phenom @kevin_schulz and heads to Lower Trestles in his battle against gravity. Will he prevail?

In our six decades of print publication, during the selection process for every one of its hundreds of covers, there have been safe options and not-so-safe options. Playing it safe typically looks like a guy getting nicely barreled with something interesting in the foreground, accompanied by text meant to ignite your curiosity about this heavenly setup. That’s fuel for surf fantasies, it’s the model to which our most iconic covers adhere, and it doesn’t hurt that it typically sells pretty well. Yeah, these aren’t those covers. The seven covers above fell into the “Too High to Feel My Face Covers” category. To look at all 33 covers that made “The Hall of Strange”, hit our link in bio. All hail the weird!

In the digital sphere, a month seems like an eon. So give January's "Clips of the Month" a rewatch above and have your jawdropped all over again. Now that February is about to wrap, who do you think should make the next cut?
