Bruce Brown’s 1966 hit The Endless Summer is an unforgettable film about the serendipity, joy and easygoing kicks of life on the road with a surfboard and some friends. It is also a lie.

Or at least the title is. While The Endless Summer is a great representation of our culture, the reality is that surfers actually chase winter. In almost every major surf destination around the world, winter is the prime season of surf. So, really, we’re out there pursuing an endless winter. The goal is to just make it feel like summer.

So, with the Northern Hemisphere winter in full swing, we wanted to share some of the season’s finer moments with you.

Safety is key in chasing swells. So stoked that not only the surfers but the safety crew are able to wear the new @quiksilver / @aqualungdivers #airlift vest . Here is @kamachiatto watching my back at #mavericks . Thanks brother Photo-@jojo65oh #betterredthendead

Reef McIntosh and Kael Walsh, Himalayas.

The common thread? Our Highline AirLift vest, an innovative safety tool for big wave surfing. Every photo you see here features one of our riders wearing an AirLift — it’s pretty much the outfit of the winter.
