SURFING BIRDS

Even if you don’t follow any American professional sports, as a surfer, you have obviously heard of Raheem Mostert. The NFL running back made waves last year with his unique touchdown dance that may have caught your eye. In the game to go to the Super Bowl (NFC Championship), Mostert set a team record for […]

MOJO

Is surfing superstitious in any way? For example, do you have a mojo before a surf? Specific stretching routine? Certain playlist you listen to on the way to the beach? Do you only use a particular wax? Smoke two joints in the morning? Think of your typical lot lizard who refuses to paddle out anywhere […]

“OFF YER HEADS”

I know, I know. I just said I was done with the Woz for a bit. However, the Wiz just recently announced the schedule for next year’s CT tour, much to the dismay of the general surf fan. Comments flooded in from all directions on the WSL’s Instagram post: “look at these comments. Listen to […]

A Public Brainstorm

My last few blog posts have been solely about competitive surfing. Thinking back on this has my brain questioning, is surfing even meant for competition?

DENIED

I was originally going to write this post with a much more fatalistic approach. After much deliberation, I’ve thought myself into an optimistic viewpoint. Erik Logan is successfully creating the PGA Tour of surfing, and I am eagerly rubbing my hands together at the thought of what an LIV Tour for surfing could look like. […]

THE PETITION

What the hell happened at Bells? Why did it just blow over like a dandelion? Was this all plotted by the Whistle to make headlines and draw intrigue into Make Or Break season 2?
