Texas Made: The Five Hour Surf Trip with Barron Mamiya & STAB

Barron Mamiya, one of our local North Shore Ambassadors, has been with us since early 2017 and tearing it up all year.

He’s already one of the best barrel riders in the world, making a name for himself as a constant standout at both Pipe and Backdoor while holding his own at Teahupo’o.

So we weren’t too surprised when STAB dubbed him one of the “Top Three Aerialists in the World” and said he was “punting airs off a trampoline ramp all weekend long.”

Barron threw a massive backside full-rotation (naturally), 1 of the 8 he threw in the 60 minutes. Crazy.

Not sure if it was the country music or Cheyne, who every time somebody stuck an air, would play the brrr brrr brrr brrr brrrrrrrr sound from hip-hop FM stations, but Barron was going off.

“Watching how quickly these surfers, and especially young Barron, figured out this pool out and started dialing in their maneuvers convinced me that BSR is our first look into surfing’s aerial future.” – STAB

Keep Hanging Out With Us

It started with lost bags and apparently the worst conditions in years, but we find Side Hits galore, some fun country hits, and find our rhythm with Parker Szumowski and Arthur Longo leading the charge. Dark, snow-ridden storm clouds are gathering over the steppes of Uzbekistan, and we are very much ready and waiting for it.

Navigating tropical surf trips in 2025 isn’t the easiest of affairs. It turns out that surfers really are everywhere. The search for tropical isolation is eternal.

Take a trip through the sunshine mind-state of legendary surf artist, Andy Davis.

Our friends over at Wasted Talent teamed up with Sun Bum's newest ambassador, Arthur Longo, and journeyed to Japan. The finished product? "Washed Up," a film you’ll want to watch on repeat (luckily we’ve got you covered here).

There’s a fine line between “cute” and “sun-damaged,” and the difference between freckles versus sunspots is a great way to illustrate this point. In this guide, you’ll learn more about these “solar kisses” and how to know when your relationship with the sun has simply gone too far.

Sun dial marks the spot! Our Miami fam knew where to find us recently when we set up shop with our mega Sonny in the heart of Miami Beach, Florida.
