LA Train Stunt, Maui Windsurf Win, Wavegarden Pool News
First up, a pair of daredevils decided the LA Metro D Line was their personal surfboard, catching a ride through the Wilshire tunnels before officials could even blink. The stunt, captured on Instagram and shared widely, had transit officials shaking their heads and reminding everyone that subway surfing is both illegal and potentially deadly. You can read the full breakdown over at Hoodline.
Switching gears to something a bit more celebratory, Maui's own Bernd Roediger and Morgan Noireaux crushed it at the Fiji Surf Pro, taking first and third respectively on the legendary Cloudbreak reef. Roediger even competed with a strained ACL, proving that passion (and a solid air game) can push through injury. Noireaux posted the event's highest-scoring single wave, a 9.5-pointer, before inconsistent winds nudged him to third overall.

Finally, surf tech fans have something to get excited about: Wavegarden just flipped the switch on its second U.S. wave pool at DSRT Surf in the Coachella Valley. Billed as capable of spitting out 1,000 waves per hour and offering a 'definitive catalogue' of more than 60 world-class wave shapes—including a dedicated aerial trainer and a barrel-heavy 'Twister'—the pool promises to bring ocean-grade surf to the desert. Sessions are slated to start as low as $60 an hour, a notable dip compared to other Californian wave parks. You can get the full scoop right here.
