50 years of the World Tour. 50 years of asking “what happens next?”

Convicts built “Imagine What’s Next” with the World Surf League. A season-long campaign celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Championship Tour. Voiced by three-time World Champion @mfanno, the film pulls from five decades of WSL archive footage, pairing legendary moments with the raw intensity of today’s generation.

Surfing’s trajectory has always been forward. Imagine What’s Next.

#Conviction

A reminder that your existence is statistically impossible. The odds of you being here, now, as a human? Basically zero. And yet here we all are; quantum energy buds, bejeweled mycelium, waves in a living universe. This life is some rare shit.

Happy earth day from Convicts.

Surfing has always been part of who we are at CONVICTS. So getting the chance to celebrate 50 years of the @wsl, a true legacy brand, was something really cool.

Tom reflects on the respect, the privilege, and the insanely talented friends who all came together to make it happen.

Building the @WSL 50 Year Campaign, Imagine What’s Next, gave us a chance to dive deep into surfing’s history, frame by frame.

From iconic moments to legendary surfers, it was a rare opportunity to witness the sport’s evolution and reconnect with the icons who shaped it.

Here are a few of our favorite moments along the journey.

#CONVICTION

Today, a very special legend was born. You may be wondering what makes him special? It could be the unconditional joy he shares with everyone he meets. It could be a determination to better himself and those around him. It could also be the fact that he absolutely loves taking selfies at the gym during a profound flex. But it’s not just one thing. It is a perfect equation of everything inherently good in the best of us. Dylan Roley embodies it all. Happy Birthday, big legend. And just remember, the mirror loves your flex.

Written with 150 young people across 17 countries, co-directed by two First Nations storytellers, and premiered in Hollywood last night.

IMAGINE is out now. All profits go back to @aimementoring work reducing inequality globally.

Let’s all imagine what a fair and better world could be.

We partnered with @redbullusa on Now Days, a film following some of the most influential surfers in the world.

@sierrakerr @caroline_markss @picklummolly @caitysimmers @skybrown @erinbrookssurf — alongside @mrodofficial @ashlynharris24 @noravexplora @cassblackbird @sophiabush and @artofoto

Athletes. Artists. Icons.

We joined the team during their Surf Ranch shoot to capture an epic behind-the-scenes look at how women are redefining not just surfing, but sport and culture.

Premiere tonight at SVA Theatre, NYC.
RSVP link live in our stories.

A journey through treacherous seas and the legacy of loss and love.

Told through the eyes of lifelong friends, True South is a deeply human tribute to the spirit of the Sydney to Hobart. Narrated by the legendary Sigrid Thornton AO, this is a cinematic experience you won’t want to miss.

See it in cinemas from 5 March 2026.
