What’d you think of that New Zealand comp? Pretty sick, hey? Hear what? That Seal Attack? Yeah! Haha, pretty heavy! What are you on about? What the fuck are you talking about? ..Okay.. ? (Chuckling) You’re tripping. What does any of that shit have to do with New Zealand? Yeah.. … You’re fucking lying. … […]
Let’s catch up on the past week or so. Quickly. ITALO AND CARISSA WIN RAGLAN Italo just did what absolutely nobody in the World wanted to see. He threw 3 (forced) air reverses on one wave, twice. The judges and the WSL gave him the nod over Morgan Ciblic, who proved once again just how […]
One of my favorite parts about surfing is how unique, individual, and personal it is. We all partake in the same activity, but we all do it a bit differently. Big waves, competitions, free surfers, shapers, weekend warriors, pro’s, “industry” folk, actors, tourists, staunch locals; the community is as diverse as you could draw it […]
We’ve been very contest-centric recently, and I wanted to get away from that for a second; take a break, as quick as it may be. So, over this past weekend I busted out my old DVD collection to try and get back to some roots inspiration. For the record, I am ashamed of this lackadaisical […]
Some news in the surf world this morning. I alluded to this just a couple of months ago when Dooma spilled the beans via StabMic, but now officially confirmed yesterday by The Inertia, via Sportico – a sports business news outlet – The WSL is “exploring new possibilities of growth”. This translates to a possibility […]
Since you are on this website and this is, of course, a site dedicated to surfing, I know that you are familiar with ‘Hawaiian Scale’ – The original GateKeeping. There are a ton of stories of how this came about: measuring from the back of the wave, lifeguards in Hawaii trying to negate tourists, surfers […]
What an incredible event. When the waves do show up, the CT is hard not to watch. I get bent if I miss an event when it’s firing. This explains why the couch in front of the TV was my bed for the weekend. Snapper must be in a different time zone than Bells and […]
2006 Barra. 2010 Lowers. 2017 J-Bay. 2019 Keramas. Could this year’s Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro join the upper echelon of most high performance surf events ever? I think after today, the argument is there. I just got home from judging a contest of my own and pulled up the webcast to see Ethan Ewing throw […]
Today, rather than a full recap like we have had in the past few event days, we’re just going to have some notes from the field – if you will. I’m not at Snapper or anything, I’ve just got a contest to judge in the morning. I need to get some rest. These are my […]
The Oscar Berry Round – this is what Round 1 will be referred to from now on. Can’t help but to feel for the guy at this point. Tya Zebrowski, the unanimous ROY pick on the Women’s side, is another surfer yet to get through a R1 Heat. The difference being that Tya is well […]
