Almost no-one really knows what its like to drop in on a massive swell except the few individuals on the planet brave enough to do so. Towards that end RedBull has a new 6 part web series debuting today called “Peaking,” a set of first person stories from the world’s gnarliest big wave riders. In episode one check out Jamie Sterling as he gets ready and ultimately disappointed at the last Mavericks’s Invitational, it will give you a whole new perspective on what these guys go through.

Redbull skateboarder, Luis Tolentino recently returned back to his homeland of the Domincian Republic along with the Harold Hunter Foundation to meet and empower local skaters and encourage the next generation with workshops and donated practice gear.

For the latest episode of “Travelin Sal,” Sal Masekela heads up to Whistler, British Columbia to check out the Red Bull Joyride, one of the world’s craziest downhill MTB events.

If you haven’t caught up on Travelin Sal, hit up his new website featuring all the shows and additional content.
