5. Mo Freitas In Abu Dhabi
Heat Score - 62
Mo Freitas has been killing it for the last few years. He surfs with such power and maturity, it's sometimes easy to forget that he's still a grom in the grand scheme of things. I guess that just makes us more excited to see where he takes his act in the future. Here is his latest video offering, showcasing his run at the 2014 Abu Dhabi All Stars grand Slam. Watch and enjoy.

4. Stand Up For the Cure
Heat Score - 64
Stand Up For The Cure just seems to get better every year. We've already seen a few videos streaming in from this year. In Dan Van Dyck, the event organizer's own words, the latest edit here from Ambry Genetics "really captures the essence of Standup for the Cure's Mission to rid the world of Breast Cancer and grow the sport and lifestyle of Standup Paddling. Thanks for keeping our efforts in the hearts and minds of all who share our vision."
3. Nicole pacelli Video
Heat Score - 68
While nothing could ever outdo the naturally imperfect-perfection of ocean waves, those predictable little ramps at Wadi Adventure Park sure do look fun. Especially when you throw 2013 women's World Champ and FCS team rider, Nicole Pacelli, into the mix.

2. More Sharks In CA
Heat Score - 77
Last week we shared a video showing a juvenile great white shark on patrol at el Porto in Manhattan Beach. This happened during a spate of absolutely incredible weather along the So Cal drag, when lineups from San Diego to Central Cali were packed. Despite our preconceived fears of white pointers, there was nothing aggressive or threatening about the shark's movements. That said - we would still have run on water to get back to shore. Two local paddle surfers at el Porto, Adam Taylor and Ryan H Harris, shared their experiences surfing with great whites with us.
