Set it & Get It
When the invite comes along to join one of the world’s best surfers, Filipe Toledo, for a surf on his home break, you don’t say no.
So we gathered our renegade squad of Southern California groms and invaded San Clemente’s Lower Trestles for a full day of hanging and shredding with the man himself. We like to call these days Sonny Sessions, but when we’re all packing up we just say, “best day ever.” Huge thanks to Filipe Toledo and his crew for the hospitality.
The squad: Bella Kenworthy, Waylon Kenworthy, Chase Niemann, Loyal Kenworthy, Taylor Francis, Caden Francis, Halle Prestage, Peytie Slater, Dane Matson, David Economos, Caleb Crozier, Jabe Swierkocki, Eli Park, Ethan Prestage, Ryan Martin, Kade Matson, Noah Hohenester, Dusty Boshart.

She’s only 14, but none of this is new to her. Not collecting medals. Not making grown-ass pro athletes jealous. Not the “did you see that?!” surprised faces in the crowd at global competitions like the 2019 USASA national championships in Colorado and last year’s Stab High Japan.
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.
