Yesterday morning I had one of the worst sessions of recent memory. An absolute shocker. As Jordy Smith once put it, I was bogging both rails at the same time. I could not figure it out. Waves were fun enough. Crowd wasn’t too hectic. I actually got into a few of the better set waves […]
Christian Bowcutt of Stab just did a pretty rad article about the best surf section and song pairings to date. I’m not sure what the fuck he was trying to say through the first paragraph, but the idea was clear enough after reading through in its entirety. Voting from Stab premium members, plus a vague […]
Nat Young has had two shockers in a row. First and foremost, you saw the debacle that took place at Snapper. Now we’ve got this new ordeal of complete vs. incomplete. And quite the ordeal it’s been. Nat was not the only guy to get a questionable incomplete call in Sydney – have a look […]
Tay Ah Who Oh Poo. Tea Ah Ooh Po Oh. Teahupoo. Cho Poo. Chopes. Filipe Toledo’s Kryptonite. How am I feeling about it? Nonchalant. Shallow and Pedantic. Family Guy anyone? Anyways. With the cut over and done with, we’re entering the sluggish period of the CT year. In my humble opinion, of course. There are […]
I often see Brett Simpson out surfing at home and I’ll think to myself; fuck – this dude could still be on Tour. He absolutely rips, and that’s obviously a huge part of it, but also, surfing was so much better 14 years ago. Although he lost in this particular heat, this 7.70 would still […]
Objective – based on facts. Subjective – based on opinions, feelings, or emotions. There are no facts about competitive surfing. Every wave ridden is judged and attributed a score in comparison to the last wave ridden. The first wave of the day, or even the first wave of the entire event, is going to be […]
You see those two guys over there? Yeah. They’re speaking some kind of weird language. It’s probably Portuguese. A lot of Brazilians have moved here recently. It’s not that. I’d recognize it. Something different. See? You hear that? Definitely never heard that before. Huh. Yeah. I don’t understand it. Kinda sounds like some made up […]
If you know me, or if you’ve read any of my work before, you know how much I would love to throw fuel on the bonfire that is the public scrutiny of the WSL right now. A couple of questionable judging calls have ignited the flame. Instead, I would like to take this opportunity to […]
I surfed Southside yesterday. It was Thursday the 21st of March, 2024. It’s funny how bad Surfline is with their forecasts now. The day before (Wednesday) on the camera’s it said 3-4 feet. Thursday (yesterday) was forecasted to be smaller at 2-3 feet. This was not the case at all. On Wednesday, I caught a […]
Surfing involves a lot of science. Physics, chemistry, oceanology, you remember those, don’t you? You may not need to be educated in the field of science to paddle out and have some fun at your local, but you will need a little information if you plan to do any kind of work on a surfboard. […]
