Despite Instagram’s reign in surf media, blogs that are run by professional surfers are still thriving. Entering into their isolated spheres of paradise is a breath of fresh air in a time when other social media platforms feel a bit monotonous. Here are seven pro surfer’s blogs that are giving you what Instagram cannot.
Hippy Dick possessor Paul Fisher posts some of the funniest shit on the Internet. Period. Y’might not want to check it out at work, though, because you’ll likely get a few funny looks from your colleagues.

Kelly Slater once said, “I question anyone’s taste in or knowledge of humor if they find Sterling Spencer funny.” Say what you want, Kelly, but this guy’s using the internet for how it was originally intended: to make you wonder if this is actually what he does with his time.
The OG surf blog is not exactly quick on creating new content, but it’d be a crime to not to give Dane’s creation a home on this list. Dane Reynolds thought it was time to call it quits, probably because he’s got a little niño on the way, but he says the site will probably be reincarnated in the future in one way, shape, or form.
Parker and Conner Coffin are on top of slapping things up on their site. Self-made videos, life updates, photos, and playlists are all things you’ll regularly see in their feed. Be sure to check out the “Tail of the Week,” in which the boys so lustfully spotlight a new babe they’re into. This week is Catherine Zeta Jones? Good taste, gents.
Best friends Burger and the world’s most entertaining surfer, Mason Ho, share a spot to post their insane antics for the world to see. There are tons of videos of Mason ripping Rockpile, pictures of Burger as a child, and nostalgic retro videos to kick back and enjoy.

Kelia Moniz heads a blog dedicated to the Huntington Beach home she shares with fellow professional surfers Bruna Schmitz, Quincy Davis, and Dane Zaun. Together they are The Dollhouse family; a home that thrives on Kelia’s breakfasts, Dane’s lattes, and the funny moments in between. Kelia regularly writes notes along with the photos she shares, and her enthusiasm for the blog and her friends in it is wholly felt.
Alex and Koa Smith quarterback a blog that’s updated regularly with neon-infused pictures and videos from their way-too-awesome lives. New music is featured, and you can even submit a track of your own.
