I’ve got a confession to make. I have previously declared my hatred for surf cameras. You probably know this. Well, I am now here to admit mass hypocrisy on my part. See, the thing I loathe about the cams is the basic idea of it; checking the waves before you go surf. That’s fucking lame. […]
Summer is here. I’ve already shared with you the Golden Rule to follow for this “surf season”, if you will. Since that writing, however, it has come to my attention that there are a lot more rules and regulations that need to be mentioned. I’m attempting to write an unwritten rule book; things you should […]
I’m bummed we don’t get some hilarious excuse from Kelly as to why he won’t be in Brazil this year. Ongoing Illness Stitches in the foot Lower back pain Personal reasons I wish just once he would have publicly shamed the joint. Maybe then the CT wouldn’t have to go back there every year? I […]
I’m preparing for summer. It’s basically here. I think the official start is next week. Most schools are either out already, or will be by next week. I can tell because I went surfing this morning. There is a new apartment complex going up on my street. Construction everyday. Construction workers stealing parking spots by […]
It’s wild how much better the WSL seems when they get some waves for events. Of course there will still be complaints and unfavorable opinions (Medina not getting a perfect 20 at Teahupoo, Griffin El Salvador interference, etc.), but for the most part, everyone’s stoked. It’s a medium happy. Tahiti was fucking insane. Obviously I […]
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 […]
I generally don’t watch many surf videos on youtube. Definitely no vlogs. I’ve previously explained how I feel there is already too much surfing to get my eyes on, specifically on Instagram. Every clip hits the internet before the surfers get their hair dry, and you scroll through it within a day. What’s the point […]
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 […]
