Crank it up. No edits.

The Wavepool Surf Tour has barely towelled off from the Alaïa Surf Challenge and is already paddling into event two. This time, you might have surfed your entry months ago.

Ride The Future 2026 is an online competition for Best Air, Best Turn, and Best Barrel, open to footage from any wavepool session in 2026. Entry is $10.

What

Seventy-two prizes are up for grabs across eight divisions. The prize pool includes $3,000 in cash, WPST memberships, and 2027 event entry packages.

It is a standalone specialty event. Results sit outside the official WPST world rankings and the qualification process for the 2027 World Finals.

Where

Any wavepool in the world. Entries can come from a local pool or one visited on a surf trip, as long as the wave was ridden in 2026.

When

Athlete profiles and registration are open now, with a few special prizes in store for some early entrants. Registering early lets athletes set up their profiles ahead of the submission window. Wave submissions open on 13 November and close on 13 December 2026.

Who

Entry is open to surfers of all levels, with boys’ and girls’ categories in Groms U14 and Juniors U18, and men’s and women’s categories in Open and Masters 40+. Competition experience is not required. Masters is open to surfers aged 40 and over.

Why

Surfers film a lot of sessions, and much of that footage never leaves the camera roll. Ride The Future puts the best of it in front of the judges, with a prize pool attached.

How

Create an athlete profile, register for $10, and submit a clip during the entry window.

The wave must have been surfed outside a competition. Footage must be authentic, in landscape format, and unedited. AI-generated or digitally altered surfing footage is ineligible. Full rules are on the event page.

Crank it up. No edits.

Museum Africa: The Memory of the Market

Long before it was a sanctuary for artifacts, this building was the Johannesburg Municipal Fruit and Vegetable Market, completed in 1913. At the time, it was an architectural marvel of the industrial age, featuring a massive, vaulted roof supported by reinforced concrete and steel—a design intended to keep the produce cool in the biting Highveld sun. The site was chosen for its proximity to the railway lines, allowing fresh goods from across Southern Africa to be funneled directly into the heart of the city. For decades, it was a place of frantic, multi-racial commerce where the air was thick with the smell of citrus and the shouts of auctioneers. In 1994—the same year South Africa held its first democratic elections—the market was transformed into Museum Africa, symbolically turning a site of physical sustenance into one of intellectual and historical nourishment.
