The story of the day is Erin Brooks. She just surfed one of the best waves in Women’s competitive surfing history out at Cloudbreak for a unanimous 10. There are 4 waves that we can compare this to. Molly Picklum’s 10 at Pipe in 2024. Steph Gilmore’s 10 at Keramas in 2019. Erin Brooks 10 […]
You know the saying by now. If you don’t, why are you not following on social media? Here are the links. Go ahead and do it now. Follow here on Instagram. Follow here on X / Twitter. Follow here on Threads. Follow here on Facebook. So I post a Wave Check photo nearly every morning. […]
I’m always on the look for something fresh when it comes to competitive surfing. I just recently pointed you in the direction of the Wave Pool Surf Tour, remember? Well here is something else. While this isn’t exactly brand new, Natural Selection Surf is soon returning for its second season, and I’m fired up. If […]
Well, shit. This didn’t age well. But hey, look at me. I’ll own it; I can take a Loss. As soon as I got done writing off Seth Moniz on reddit, he went and did this. In fairness, I will say that Teahupoo is a wave that one would expect Seth to do well at. […]
“Oh, I can win this thing. I just gotta get past Jack Robinson first.” – Kelly Slater, 54 years old. In case you slept under a rock today, Teahupoo was absolutely insane. One of the most entertaining days of professional surfing in recent memory. 11 Heats ran, 15 excellent waves were ridden, Griffin nearly went […]
You know that trendy, annoying phrase that a lot of the kids are saying these days: “_________ was a movie” ? We’ll let me tell you something; Summertime in Huntington Beach could be a movie. People have no fucking clue what’s going on, but they like to think and act like they do. From July […]
I tried to warn you. All of you. Look what we have now. 2 events down on the ‘Challenger Series’, 2 wins for CT surfers. Headline correction – “Championship Tour surfers step down, Dominate Challenger Series Stop # 2 in Huntington Beach at the Lexus US Open of Surfing” 6 CT Surfers were in the […]
Editors Note: I have since been informed that I was incorrect in stating that a surfer may improve their wave as many times as they want. They only get two improvement attempts, if they so choose. There’s a new sheriff in town – the Wavepool Surf Tour (WPST). <Enter Rick Kane joke here>. I’ve seen […]
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 […]
