- The Search is back...
It’s not often a World Title contender goes on The Search mid-season. But, when Mick Fanning let Gabriel Medina know where he was heading with Mason Ho, it was too good for Gabby to pass up. Medina adjusted his plans, slid into the mission, and shifted gears to hunt some wild slabs in the wildly remote coasts of Australia.
This was no luxury trip either. The crew stayed in vermin-infested cabins in the middle of nowhere and survived off two-minute noodles and sausages in bread for dinner. Medina ate nothing but cheese sandwiches for most meals. Mason Ho even woke up one morning to find his toothbrush had been totally devastated by rats. Despite these challenges, the surfers had an incredible time. It’s what The Search is all about.
“That was the stuff I dream of,” says Mason Ho about the trip. “I couldn’t believe, not one person around or out. Then surfing with those two guys, they’re not only surfing world champions, they’re like human world champions too.”
The Kangs takes you on The Search through a wide, open land…

About time we got to see Gabe away from the circus. Seems a very affable and chilled guy. Love the content.
the tour stuff used to hide the real Gabes... such a nice guy!
I'm a JJF stan (Hawaii born and raised). But between this vid and seeing his struggles as documented in "Make or Break", I have grown to like and admire Gabe so much more than just a talented rival to John.
He was nice Gab, the big fella Owen & Kita and Kids and I mist my old Cousin Conna & Sarah and Connas Cats
Mist Conna at Christmas 😭 sharing Cats going 💯💯 play in Christmas Trees 🥰
Paantharr Neva had a Tree we nearly did we often Worked Christmas or cried and or nearly died of loneliness and no culture plus of heartbreak of such
I growled re I'm so hurt of bullyn to me of win I worked for Rip Curl and supported Bongs and Silver
I was nearly bashed locked up Gunna Paantharr going hang out at the Concrete Kellz Built 🤦 I was even surf my firsty at Kellz
May Gibbs one day a Surfer use their manners
I mist yerrz so much Gunna Paantharr didn't 😢
@@Jonathanflanjosyerr did and ppl were mean to me I digged Gab and Crew
I was too scared re the Violence at me of Racism to ask him teach me to surf. Didn't help I was gun shy of violence
He's a awesome Athlete. Was cool to see him Surf Nature.
Ppl shouldn't be jealous of Black Ppl whom are harmless 😁 and or any Surfer whom is harmless 🥰
More than this please , this is what the surf community wants !!!!
Great surfers and incredible music too. Sad that Mason had to miss out on some of those waves because of his injuries. But what a cool dude to have on the team. Loved seeing Mick being the quiet leader, and Gabe being free.
Gabe and mick are just on another level, another sick search trip for the books, can’t wait for the next one
my favourite quote from the film: “those 2 guys, just conversating with them, it’s just nice, nice conversations” Mason Ho. 💡
‘What about that left… couple of pumps maybe an air’
So good to see Gabby looking happy after everything hes been through.
Everything he's been through??? Such a victim....
great to see the gringos giving medina the props, he is a monster inside competition, but outside of it you wll see a nice guy with the best backhandbarrel technique
@@michaeloreilly3539 no victim at all, you obviously have no idea
The search provides yet again! Editing and music scoring is on point. One of the few surf films that I watched without wanting to skip some sections. And mick, gabe, and mase's combo is perfection 👌🏼
Thanks for the epic feedback!
@@ripcurlVaughn is a legend
Exactly!!
Good point brow. The songs are perfect!!
Gabe is the only surfer who manages to control his surfboard that well. It never moves anywhere he doesnt want it to go and if he wants to hold his line, the board literally doesnt move anywhere. Freakish ability
Bravo! The shot of Mick dropping into the right hand slab with the dolphins was as good as it gets. Music A+.
What a good movie, with good surfers. It's good to see Medina without the pressure of the circuit, a really good guy
Great to see Rip Curl producing surf movies again, and finally one with 3X world champions Medina & Fanning!!!! Spécial guest was great too! Keep them coming, please!🤙
ÉPICO, também não é pra menos, com esse trio sinistro... Por favor Rip Curl mais vídeos com Medinaaa!!! Será maravilhoso ver ele na mesma constância de vídeos que Mason Ho
More trips with this guys please! So sick!
3 Absolute legend's
Great viewing, more of this please.
Mick is the king of Kings,
I Seen a side to Gabe that makes you instantly love him, and Mason just cracks me up every time he speaks.
Cheers, Rip Curl 🍻
This movie is so good. Congrats to all surfers who are ripping it big time and the producers and all the crew involved. Really enjoyed it. The music, the waves, the vibe. So good
Thanks for the great feedback!
I love the skeggs music in this video. The Skeggs fit surf so well in surf parts.
Too bad the song isn’t on spotify
soon for sure!@@kinetic1812
@@kinetic1812what’s the song name ? 4:48
@@avamacintyre6268horwood and the frog - Benny reed (skeggs). It’s in the description
@@kinetic1812where can we listen to it I’ve been searching far and wide 😂😢
I love mason hes so full of life and stoke. this was a sick watch mick doing airs , Gabby being gabby ,. and mason all round surfing is just on point , barrell rider , air game , Big waves ..Stoked for THE SEARCH .. Rip Curl 🔥🔥💚💚🤙🤙
3 legends of the sport. Pretty cool to see Medina outside of competing. Let The Search Continue!
Really love the content. Gabe seems human and chill ! He should start a filming tour with mick / the florence and the ho
It's crazy how rip curl snatched most people's favorite surfers over the years
These 3 guys are probably 3 gens of the best surfing has to offer. No other company can say they have that...
Amazing! Good vibes! Sixt word titles in the water and a hawain surfer. Such beatiful cinematography. Good waves. Who needs more? 😊💪🏼🙌
True times in history the Search has taken us to unknown places, legendary as usual, yet the ripple in the curl still remains timeless, Bravo Rip Curl 🤙🏼🇨🇷 mega shakas from Florida the new Sion.
#TheSearch never ends!
Well said Ramza 🤙🤙
@@schnitty_NSBR NSBR for life brodahh,🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇨🇷
It's south Australia, what are you going on about ' unknown places'.😂
@@paultarbotton4051 pretty unkown mate most slabs go unsurfed everyday.
Gabe is such a charmer nowadays! Whattaguy. Great flick.
Awesome stuff. Loved to see Gabe hang out with the cool guys ;)
...and Mick Fanning...what a unit!
I love it when Mason makes up words. They instantly become official Oxford Dictionary entries in my mind.
WOW! What a vid!! Three legends taring it up in the land of the Kang!! More please. Slab hunt was epic. How was the sea life! Rip Curl nailed it!
As a video can bring so much energy, perfect guys in tune, perfect music perfect places, finally get the production right of course we can not forget the 3 stars, the play of color from black and white to color and the start of the session, surreal congratulations to those involved in this project
This is what surf is. Congrats Rip Curl. Bring more please
That transition from b/w to color with Mic was FIRE, nicely done team!
So good, thanks Rip Curl! Three amazing surfers/human beings, great footage and soundtrack.
What a video ! What a crew ! Perfect combination of talent and fun ! Congrats Rip Curl
That’s amazing!
Rip Curl nailed it again! 3 of my favorite surfers ripping in The Search.
It’d be awesome to have some random amateur surfer in the trip as a prize draw.
Yes we love it, keep them coming. Specially with this team !
such an incredible video, the unreleased skegss was just icing on the cake
What an epic combo of mental legends. Edits & music were on point. Made my night at work watching this. You made me late getting back from lunch though!! Lol. Keep sending it. 🤙🏼
Thanks for the great review!
Unic Surfers, world titles, creative talent, different moments and personalities... epic! Tks for this ❤
Bizarro tudo, queremos mais desse tudo, o mundo do surf merece. Thanks Gabe, Mick and Mason. 👏👏👏👏👏
Aside from from Dane and Mickey's edits, I always struggle to watch a surf vid from beginning to end. But this was perfect. Incredible surfing, great tunes, editing and grading. Props to the directors. Please more of this!

Epic trio of people. Long time I didn't see something I liked as much, congrats!
What an epic trio!! Please make more search trips with these guys together!!
Gabe so chill …. All these boys are so stoked … great movie
Rip Curl! When are we going to get the Medina Brazilian storm movie part we’ve all been waiting for? Could you imagine Gabe, Italo, and Filipe charging waves around the world together. I can’t be the only one thinking this
Amazing! We need more Mick and Gabe!!
So good to see pure surfing and the pure stoke it brings without the need of "results".
Thank you Rip Curl !!!!
Amazing Trip, please we need more….!!
22:27 - Gabriel Medina, treats teahupoo barrels like it's a 3 foot beach break, Mick fannings driving, clearly terrified
Great stuff! Love these three! My next wettie might even be a rip curl one, just to keep productions like these coming out! 👏
they are good wetties bro have a 3/4 and use it twice a week lasted two years so far just a coule holes near the ankles from reefs
@@harvosau1996 good to know! I've had one 10y ago and it wasn't much different than non top brands, but I've heard it got much better since e5 tech...
Animal! Divertido e radical! Ficou um clássico, legal pra pilhar a trip!
Best surf film of th year
Two Nephilim giants of the ocean mick and gabe and lovable demi god bloodline of the ho's .......with flawless production, locations,.....
Best surf edit in years ❤
3 legends together in one movie
thanks ripcurl
Love seeing my home State featured in the latest round of short surf flicks. It's a rugged coast with plenty of driving but delivers in buckets for the committed surfer.
My all time favorite surf movie, it’s so good to watch it, love these guys, what a crew
Such a vibe
The Kangs ! what a trip , Thanks Rip Curl for support this real surfers , and more the search and loved the movie !

Parabéns medina

24:29 exposed reef☠ these guys are crazy! Amazing work! 🙌
Uhh can we get Mick back on tour, at least as a wild card? He's in great form
You said it. I mean hot damn, surfing hasn't lost any of the edge. So much style. I'm glad we at least get this with Mick and some other films (Stab in the Dark a year or two ago).
Yes @mikeycorker
Great edit boys and what a trip in gods country
Thank you, Rip Curl.
love their surfer energy!!!! the dolphins and the seals omg🤩
Great video. Love that shot at 20:07 with Mick dropping with all the dolphins behind.
Fanning pegou os melhores tubos 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Soooo sick!!!! Loved it. Up the Vaughan!
Saludos del sur 🇨🇱🌊💣🤙🏻
Gabriel Medina goat ! 🔥🔥
🐐
we need more like this now a days
Classic search movie...well done guys!
So good to watch gabe free surfing
legends! what a trio
Awesome stuff. Three top guys fantastic movie🔥🔥
Well made surf flick great music and great surfers in great waves
I hated Gabe in 2011-2014. Couldn't stand him!! (Like most non brazzo surf fans then) And in the years since he has truly won me over. He is a true champion x3 and one of the greatest to ever do it! It . I can admit when i am wrong. He is a true charger it has been a privilege to watch him grow into a man. Here's to 3 more Gabe! Blessings from a gringo living in Costa Rica and El Salvador
Finally a decent stoker movie we needed this
Dont destroy whats here to enjoy, the search is still on best keep it that way, from the peguins end to the lions den
That was so freaking good, everything about it. And i get some new jams, thanks
That was a sick vid, love seeing waves from the home land, and so sick to see gabe in those waves, and mick to paddle out by himself in this area WOW!!
Fazia tempo que não via algo tão bom
Amazing guys! So spirit surf lifestyle!
Thanks for this!
❤️🏄🏽♂️🙌🏽🎬⚡️🤙🏽
Incredible, inspiring film for us!
Love it! Brilliant clip of a place we might be able to figure out if we lived in Auz...might happen.
Good vibes priority here ! What a crew.
Perfection
