Quiet Grace & GoPro Gold: Two Surf Stories That'll Make You Smile
If you've ever watched a surfer adjust their stance mid-wave or gasped at a brother catching a barrel, you know it’s those subtle moments—the quiet glances and jaw-dropping thrills—that make surfing magic. Well, we’ve got two new stories to fuel your post-surf coffee fix.
Grant Winter’s Serene Wave Pool Vision
Forget the hype, Grant Winter isn’t chasing fireworks. At Lost Shore’s wave pool, he’s capturing what you *actually* feel when you’re knee-deep in the lineup: the weight shift of a surfer finding their rhythm, the way spray curls back into the pocket, or the fatigue in a surfer’s shoulders after a good session. His approach? Simple, patient, and soaked in intention. Shooting from the water—bodysurfing turned GoPro moment—he’s learned that true artistry shows up between the obvious angles.
"It’s curiosity, not ambition," Grant said. No wild editing, no forced drama. Just clean lines and soft light that whispers, “This is what it feels like.” You can wander through his thought process over at Wave Pool Mag—a reminder that sometimes, the best shots are the ones you wait for.
Lenny Brothers’ Top 5 GoPro Gold Moments
Ever wonder what goes into a surf legend’s ‘off-the-cuff’ vault of memories? Kai and Ridge Lenny, the Hawaiian brothers who’ve ridden everything from tiny reef breaks to Jaws’ monstrous barrels, just dropped their *top five* GoPro gems. And honestly? Some of these clips are so smooth, they’ll make you want to grab your own camera and head to the beach.
From aerials to deep-water entries, these aren’t flashy edits—they’re raw, real, and packed with the joy only brothers can share. Kai summed it up: “Reliving the moment is like riding the wave all over again.” For a deep dive into their favorites—including that legendary Jaws barrel—check out The Inertia’s breakdown. Spoiler: It’ll make you grin from ear to ear.
Between Grant’s quiet pool reflections and the Lennys’ adrenaline-fueled clips, these stories remind us why we love surfing: it’s the little things, the big things, and everything in between.
