Miguel Pupo just became an all time great. Medina is back; really back. The First Round elimination heats are looking tough. The Colapinto brothers surfed a heat against each other. The Brazilian Storm is in full effect on the CT, and the local North American QS season is about to start. Here’s the brief catch […]
Better late than never. Never late is better. We work with what we’ve got. Bumpy and wonky. Windy and messy. No lack of swell but messy conditions. Nervous rookies. Local knowledge shines. A Wildcard with intent. A revenge heat in the midst of a newborn rivalry. Dying swell, better conditions. Battle of the Bru’s (again). […]
Ironic. I guess that is just the way life works sometimes. I’ve sat here posting for years whinging about the WSL, and now here I go about defending them. Satiric. In my defense it is not so much the WSL I’m backing, but the judges. Those are my people. And from the outside, it’s understandably […]
When one door closes, another one opens, as they say. The old season has ended, and the new one is set to begin.

SPOILER ALERT If you (somehow) do not know the results from Stab In The Dark X with Kelly Slater, and want to find out by watching yourself – tune out from this article. I am going to save my opinion for it’s own write up to come later this week. Instead, for now, I’ve compiled […]
Tears of joy and tears of heartbreak; yes its Qualifying Season. The last event of the North American ‘QS’ year wrapped up in Barbados just last week, and now the Challenger Series season is about to come to a close at the Bioglan Newcastle Surfest in less than two days. That means we’ve got new […]
This one is near and dear to my heart. Excuse me while I wax poetic for a few minutes. This is a rule that I know is being broken on the daily. I see it with my own eyes. It’s gotten bad, and I intend to make a video about it at some point. I […]
How do surfers qualify to surf in the Olympics? In case you’ve missed it, there has been quite a stir in the surf atmosphere about recent changes made by the ISA on this front. Let me fill you in with the drama. The way athletes of all sports are determined eligible for the Olympics is […]
