Both the Professional Men’s and Women’s UST Champions for the 2026 season were crowned today, and it all came down to the final and semifinal heats respectively. Most exciting of all, our girl Alex Yokley was in the mix, so all bets were in on Alex.

RECAP | Surf Expo in Orlando, FL
We just wrapped up a rad time in Orlando, FL for Surf Expo last week. We got to see a lot of familiar faces and met tons of new ones. Surf Expo is always a rad time because we get to nerd out over our boards with people who are just as stoked as we are! With team riders like John Akerman, Gerardo Valencia, and Jason Wilson hanging out and chatting it up with anyone and everyone, we stayed busy all week long.
