With the Championship Tour coming to a close for the remainder of this year, we will be diving into more surf material that is unrelated to contests. A few examples: Surf NFT’s, crowds & localism, board materials & technology, and more. That’s just a few upfront topics to cover, not to mention a few different […]
It is all said and done. We now have our 2022 World Champions of Surfing. Big congratulations to Filipe Toledo on his maiden World Title. Eclipsing the young Brazilian’s expected outcome was Stephanie Gilmore, the now winningest female surfer of all time. She broke a tie with Layne Beachley for the most World Titles ever, […]
Miguel Pupo was 85 points short of tying Kanoa Igarashi for the 5th and final spot at Lowers. Griffin was 65 points below Miggy. What could have gone differently for these guys throughout the year that would have, could have made a difference? Let’s look back at the year and see if we find anything […]
Did Griffin get robbed? Why doesn’t everyone wear a gath? Hedge deserved a ten. A 6.77 for a switch barrel? Does the carve after the bowl count for anything out there? These are a few of the notes I jotted down while watching one of the most entertaining contests of the year. Here’s an in […]
The time has just about come. This year’s circus will reach an end sometime in the next 10 days, and all that we will be left with are 5 jesters ready to battle dance across Southern California’s premier performance court. 2 of the clowns are already confirmed – with no exact positioning, leaving 3 open […]
In the latest episode of the Ex – WPS Surfer Rep’s descend from divinity, we find Mr. Conner Coffin extending yet another plea for sorrow. After unconfirmed rumors surfaced of CC being the main penman behind the Surfers Petition earlier in the year, the saga continues following his latest instagram post: “Jeffery’s Bay – What […]
Even if somehow, someway, Flip ends up losing in his one heat at Lowers in September, letting the World Title slip away, he is now the undisputed champion and King Of Brazil. He’s won the last 3 CT events to go down there, and 4 of the total 8 he’s surfed in (2015, ‘18, ‘19, […]
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. […]
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? Shout out to my friend J. Patrick Stublen for introducing me to this theory.. Here’s a collection of thoughts, featuring some […]
Well, I guess I should say something. We have now approached the most anticipated, and most talked about moment of the year thus far. The cut. I previously misinterpreted the meaning of ‘moving day’ in golf, hence the title of this post, but we are sticking with it anyway. I thought that moving day was […]
