"can someone explain what he needs to raise more funds for?? "

"Obama's actually just flying out to see if Vinod will give him a key to the Martins Beach ..."

The massive swell that slammed south shores over the past five days led to dozens of rescues.

One Oahu surfer avoided being another statistic, but his board and GoPro camera were not as lucky. That’s what he thought until fate intervened.

THE ISLE is a web series that follows the lives of surfers Matt Meola and Albee Layer.
