Well, I guess right back to the contest writing. I know it’s a bit redundant, but it’s something I am passionate about. Regardless of location, swell, conditions, surfers, board type, or anything else, I will tune into a live surf contest to watch if given the opportunity. There’s a pro junior going on in Japan […]
I’ve been in the water a lot recently. It’s been nice. Last week I had two familiar encounters that brought me back to a headspace I hadn’t been in for quite some time. The first situation took place on Wednesday. A small, yet fun day out at the pier. Not too packed in comparison to […]
Did you all see this one yet? Nominee for burn of the year right? Well apparently we’ve missed the back story – we didn’t see any of the paddle, nor did we see either surfer get to their feet. Nonetheless, a scroll through the posts comment section might give you some background info. Mid 40’s […]
So I missed Finals Day. Undoubtedly you noticed. I received mass complaints of no coverage whatsoever. No pre-event predictions, no tweets going out during the event, and until this point, nothing after. I haven’t posted anything in a couple weeks; it’s been a while. Well, congratulations to Filipe Toledo and Caroline Marks. Truth is, I […]
BeachGrit’s infamous, the one and only true Surf Journalist Chas Smith has long said that the WSL hates its fans. While I’ve previously thought this was a pretty stark stance to take, the statement is hard to disagree with on behalf of the Woz’s recent decision. Their choice to not replace the injured Ethan Ewing […]
If you ever listen to surf podcasts then you probably know who Scott Bass is. I don’t even like to admit this, but over the past year or so I have become a big hater. This isn’t to say I personally dislike the guy; I’ve never met him, never had any interactions with him. All […]
If you’re not pretty tuned in to the surf scene, you might not have heard this story, which is why I am telling it to you now. As a warning, this is a bit redundant because I am just sharing the news through what I have read and heard. Hearsay. Admittedly terrible journalism. I have […]
I’ve never been great at giving an apology, but I am hoping you can accept this as one. Especially you Biolos. I took his recent IG post to heart, the one calling out no coverage of the US Open from surf media at large. I feel responsible for not producing on this front. That’s what […]
I was just listening to a surf podcast when I heard something I found interesting – the WSL stopped Griffin Colapinto from participating in a local community surf contest. On a recent L8 Night With Choccy episode, Travis Ferre of Inherent Bummer revealed that Griff was not allowed to compete in the 2% Classic which […]
As you know, I am a big supporter of small and local businesses. Which is why I was super excited to learn about my middle school friend Nick Vold starting up his own brand. Nick is an exceptionally talented and well rounded artist specializing in Fine Art, Graphic Design and Art Curation, which is why […]
