Phelps has a deep history with New Zealand and when he heard the Volcom guys were heading there for transition-heavy missions he joined the fun. Here's photos with GT, Pedro, Rune, Raemers, Hassan, and Lee Ralph. As seen in the October 2015 issue.

When the ripping is a non-stop, week long affair, you end up with a hard drive worth of footage. Here’s a bonus from the beaches of Huntington, including some Best Trick action. 

These finals had everything – Gregson and Hatchell's tech wizardry, Pedro and Russell's muscle, Raven and Ronnie's classic flow, Raybourn's eclectic bag of tricks ... hell, Christian Hosoi was even in there! Watch this twice then go learn eggplants. 

A photographic journey through a magical week at the 2015 VDI. Best ride we seen!

This Vans invitational bowl comp has a reputation for being one of the most fun and ripping contests in the world. We'll have videos of these epic sessions throughout the week. Here's a nice edit showing the history and highlights of the comp.

Unbelievable. Pure natural talent pushed to its limits. Pedro's skating speaks for itself.

Broken boards equals broken dreams. Chris Russell had it in the bag but one too many hang-ups enabled Tom Schaar to spin his way to the top. Meanwhile, Pedro Barros stole the show with a death defying NBD. 10 years of the Pool Party and this was the best one yet! Cheers, Vans!

Rhino comes through with some photos from the Pool Party. Check them out here.
