It's (basically) scientifically proven that if you're not laughing or smiling in Yadin Nicol's presence then there's something wrong with you. And similarly, if his One & Only edit doesn't make you want to go surf, there's also something wrong with you. So check your pulse by pressing play on his One & Only, filmed in Costa Rica. Fancy a shop? Visit Yadin's personalized store at hurley.com/yadinnicol and check out his favorite Hurley gear.

Whilst in Rio we put our time to good use: we held an impromptu Rip My Shred Stick with the kids from the favelas, surfed heats, signed some autographs and had a few free surfs. Somewhere during this time, Brett Simpson got ahold of a video camera, and cinematic greatness ensued with the birth of "Simpo Cam": wrought with classic Simpo one liners and heckling. Yep, this edition of #TOURNOTES is pure good vibes (with cameos from Occy, Mick, Kelly and Jordy) so get into it.
