We hope everyone has been having a shred-filled summer! Here’s a little catch-up on what’s been happening with our MANERA athletes over the past two months.
Stay salty and stay tuned.
No. 1- Watch This
DEFECT
A surf film by FORMER.
Directed by founders Dane Reynolds and Craig Anderson, and featuring the full FORMER surf team.
No. 2
While at the European Surf Film Festival and UK Surf & Skate Expo 2026, Dylan Graves traded the stage for a few waves with the local grom squad. After 10-year-old Harley invited him to join, Dylan happily jumped in for a surf off the harbour wall.
“We’re gonna give it hell on this little small left.”
“Just a fearless little bunch of groms; that was sick.”
No. 3
Tim Latte, our Nordic surfer for whom the cold never gets old, enjoying the Arctic summer nights.
No. 4
Surf’s pup! Huge congratulations to Rippin’ Rosie the Labrador, our very own World Dog Surfing Champion! Accompanied by her human, Steve, Rosie was the most decorated athlete at this year’s championships, taking home an impressive four titles.
She won the Large / Extra Large Dog category, the SUP category, the SUP Tandem Human/Dog category, and was crowned Spirit of Dog Surfing Overall Champion. And as if all those trophies weren’t enough, Rosie also won a one-month supply of dog food.
Very deserved for a very salty good girl.
