3, Jamie O’Brien – WhoisJOB
One of the most popular surfing channel on youtube , lately just reached 1 million subscribers. Jamie is giving a little fresh air for the surfing industry by not taking surfing so seriously as other competitors. You can see him with a foam board dropping into jew dropping barrels at Pipeline or being on literally fire at Teahupoo. An extremely skilled surfer who can ride any wave with anything… As a professional he also won several events. He is one of the youngest surfer who ever won Pipemaster.

5, Dylan Graves
Dylan Graves and his series the “weird waves” will guide you around the world and show you all kinds of weird waves. Quality is not the main deal in this series but more of its novelty vibe . You can see Dylen surfing in different kinds of scenarios like wave pools, lakes, rivers and other unknown spots from the ice cold of Alaska to the heat of Nigeria .

Having surfed for over twenty years, Kale brings a unique combination of media experience, communication skills and advanced surfing knowledge to his work.

7, World surf league
The channel is run by the actual WSL ,the governing body for professional surfers and competitions. The site has more than 15 thousands videos. Here you can follow through women, men and junior competitions live or replay. My good advice is to watch the Lost Tape series by Kelly Slater 11x times world champion to understand the greatest ever competitor’s mindset a bit better and show you some barrels and spray on the best waves of the world.
