CLOUDBREAK DAY TWO

So I’ve Surfived another round. I picked Medina. If I did my math correctly, there should be 54 people left after this event. If you’ve never heard of Surfival League, its similar to an NFL football survival league – you pick one team (surfer) to win (make it through Round 2) each week (event). You […]

CLOUDBREAK DAY ONE

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 […]

SETH MONIZ WINS OUTERKNOWN TAHITI PRO

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. […]

CLASSIC

“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 […]

WAVE POOL SURF TOUR

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 […]
