The Cry is Free. And the Cry was Loud. From all over the globe, really. Australia, Hawaii, USA, and surprisingly, Brazil. Everyone had some kind of complaint about the judging/scoring during the Ballito Pro. Here are a few of my favorite comments: “This is surfing, not ice skating, scores are not determined by how many […]
Less than 4% of Division 1 college basketball players will make the NBA. This is why I prefer college basketball over the NBA. Those kids play with so much more passion, so much more love and respect for the game, and they don’t expect anything from it. A college scholarship and an education (if they […]
I have started to notice that the less I surf, the less I think about Surfing Etiquette. Shocker. With Summer fully upon us, however, I am quickly reminded of how many Seasonal Surfers we have around here. Many of these Summer Surfers are commonly referred to as VAL’s (Vulnerable Adult Learner), COVID Surfers, or Kooks, […]
I’m watching the new Billabong Team Movie ‘Merge’ while Sublime’s “Santeria” is playing from a speaker in the adjoining room. My wife is painting with some family, who have been in town visiting for the past couple of days. I’m also reading about DSRT Surf, the New Kid on the Wave Pool block. My Social […]
Well, it’s not exactly what I was expecting, but I’m pretty stoked. If you haven’t heard the news yet, the WSL has officially added a new stop to the 2026 Championship Tour schedule, halfway through the year. Cloud 9 in the Philippines will now be on the 2026 ‘Post Season’ Championship Tour Schedule. The World […]
So the WSL is back at it again. Remember last year when just before Finals Day, they implemented that new Rule where if the 1 seed won their first Heat, they won the Title? Well anyways, they are back again with another mid-year Format (read: Schedule) change. The WSL will officially announce a “new” wave […]
Back like we never left. (Pretend I didn’t miss last week’s interview). I’m very excited for this week’s guest. Since I’ve started this series, I’ve had my eye open for people within the culture that I might be interested in speaking with. With Social Media nowadays, self promotion has reached the grandest of heights. It’s […]
Swell of the Decade, so they’ve been saying. Is that true? What was the last swell that was this hyped, and then actually lived up to that? Hurricane Marie? I can not believe it’s been 12 years since then. I’ve been surfing for almost 20 years and boogie boarding as a grom before that, my […]
So we are three (plus) days into the El Salvador Pro, and the Fantasy Surf World is reeling. Griffin got knocked out by Al Cleland Jr, Ethan Ewing lost to Callum Robson, and Filipe was beaten by Kauli Vaast. Three event favorites out in Round 2. Eli Hanneman threw me a (tiny) middle finger for […]
I know, I know – I’m late. But we have a great guest this week, so at least the wait was worthwhile. I’ve seen this kid in the water at home a few times, and then I saw him featured in a Stab article, and then I saw Travis from Inherent Bummer write about him, […]
