For all of the complaining during the last 5 years, I do find it just a little ironic that this year’s Title Race comes down to the last event of the season, and that it’s a race of 6 surfers – at least on the Men’s side. The field of potential winners on the Women’s […]
New venue, who’s this? Apologies for the Dad joke. I hate myself for it. We are at a new venue location for the CT though. I heard Jesse Starling say that she had “confirmed” that Oscar Berry was the only surfer that had prior competitive experience out at Cloud 9. He’s not in the draw […]
Supertubos lived up to its name for Finals Day. It was nearly as good as it gets in Portugal for the Finals. The event was slow going until then. Between Day One and the Finals, there were 3 days of short competition with only a couple of heats running, and at least 3 lay days. […]
Sometimes I forget that I have been surfing for about 20 years and that it is very easy for me to overlook the basics of surfing. I was reminded of that in multiple ways this past week. There are a few primary Surf Rules that I need to add in to the Unwritten Rulebook Of […]
It is currently 5:50 in the morning. I just opened up my computer to Men’s Quarter Finals Heat 3 in the water – Yago Dora vs Ethan Ewing. Last year’s World Champion is in the Yellow jersey yet again. Could he go back-to-back? The interesting part about this, if he can do it, would be […]
You will remember Luke Worsham from our series ‘HELLO, MY NAME IS:’ (which I need to get back to, by the way). If you don’t, have a read; here is a brief interview and introduction to a true style master and roots surfer from Southern California. Luke is back with another video from his page […]
So yesterday I posted about Kanoa Igarashi and Mirai Ikeda qualifying for the 2028 LA Olympics. I wanted to post this full Revision rather than just to add an editors note on that post. First and foremost I needed to correct myself in saying that these surfers have provisionally qualified for the Olympics. The reason […]
Long a topic of controversy and debate, the Olympic qualification for surfing runs through the ISA (International Surfing Association). It’s been president Fernando Aguerre’s lifelong dream and mission to get surfing into the Olympics, which was first realized in 2020 at the Tokyo (Japan) Olympics. To this point, I personally feel that he should be […]
I had a few of the most ridiculous, albeit, hilarious surfs that I have partaken in for quite some time last weekend. Not the one we just had, but prior. This was coming off the heels of my trip to ‘Surf City’ El Salvador, where the Adult Learning population is large and growing, mind you. […]
A couple of storybook results here at the Southern California Skatepark this past week. 34-year-old Miggy Pupo continues his dream run, winning his 2nd event of the season (Bells, Lowers), while 19-year-old Erin Brooks just won her 3rd straight (Teahupoo, Cloudbreak, Lowers). As another side story, this was the last event before the ‘mini cut’. […]
