There goes the neighborhood. First we have Natural Selection, then the Wave Pool Surf Tour, and now this; Surfing Super League. If you’d like to try and decipher exactly what’s going on with this new league, the format, and what to expect from the first season – have a look here for yourself. I started […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
I’m watching the new Billabong Team Movie ‘Merge’ while Sublime’s “Santeria” is playing from a speaker in the adjoining room. My wife is painting with some family, who have been in town visiting for the past couple of days. I’m also reading about DSRT Surf, the New Kid on the Wave Pool block. My Social […]
Well, it’s not exactly what I was expecting, but I’m pretty stoked. If you haven’t heard the news yet, the WSL has officially added a new stop to the 2026 Championship Tour schedule, halfway through the year. Cloud 9 in the Philippines will now be on the 2026 ‘Post Season’ Championship Tour Schedule. The World […]
