Channel Title: Dylan Graves Channel Description: Hi I'm Dylan Graves, welcome to my channel, I'm a surf geek, who loves to travel AND see the world through a SURF LENS... I'm down to surf any kind of wave, small, big, bizarre I don't care. I love it all. Especially checking out new spots, the people who surf them and the journey it takes to get there. If you have a wave you'd like to share, and need a surf buddy, hit me up ! I plan to release edits as much as possible to give myself time to plan, shoot, edit, music etc. I really enjoy the creative process of making videos and everything that goes into them and would rather focus on that for my channel to have any sort of chance at longevity :) instagram : @dylangraves <video> GOD'S CRACK; JAPAN Description: Hello / Konichiwa! And welcome to our journey through a wave and rock structure named "God's Crack" located in northern Japan. I was over in Japan shooting something else entirely when my friend I was cruising with, Keito Matsuoka, mentioned he had a weird wave for me... and low and behold, there was this wave breaking between a very narrow crack in between 2 rocks 🤯. From the beach in didn't really look doable, so we decided to paddle out and "have a look" but we all know what that means once you get out the back 🫣 Let me know what you think about this spot and our decision in the comments below. Arigato!

An unforgettable memory. I got to join Mick Fanning for an epic three-hour session in Germany, testing out cutting-edge wave pool technology. Little did I know, this same tech would later become the foundation for Palm Valley, the Gold Coast’s first surf park. Which Mick and his business partner Luke Altschwager just announced plans for yesterday. In this episode, We dive into Mick’s thoughts on the waves, his vision for bringing world-class surf park to Australia, and what makes Palm Valley such a game-changer for the surf scene Down Under. Love this surf stuff and crazy to be in the right place right time to be able to catch up with these two crazy cats and have them invite me into their world. Please don’t forget to like, subscribe, and drop a comment with your thoughts on wave pools! This really helps keep me out there, thank you!

A wave with unusual contrast- on one side, the raw, powerful energy of the ocean, and on the other, the industrial hum of machinery, both coexisting in this unexpected surf haven. I’m always excited to explore different surf spots and immerse myself in the unique surf cultures during my travels. Surfing Japan is not all about navigating through rocks like a kamikaze pilot (like my last video at God's Crack), here is a look at a more traditional Japanese surf scene… a sci fi looking one at that!

Thank you to Keito Matusuoka for showing us around and plugging us into your world! Without your help and guidance this video would not be possible. I would also like to thank Shohei Echigo for letting us stay at "Hotel Shohei". And Shohei's dad for being the first to surf Shinko, congratulations on discovering an ENTIRE surf scene 🤯 Massive thanks to rest of the surf community for having us :) Thanks to Coby Perkovich, Shouta Sawada and Misaki Haberl.

I was impressed on so many levels, by the wave itself, the people who showed up to surf and the people who showed up to watch! Apparently there was 18,000 be there for opening day 🤯Cool to see how much this wave pool means to the community and how much something like this felt needed in the land locked country of Germany. I hope the stoke comes through in the video.
