PARKER COHN WINS VANS JACKS PRO QS4000

The beauty of a QS event, am I right? 1-2 foot, onshore, mushy, terrible slop that basically nobody wants to surf; Surely nobody wants to watch. Except for me. And Parker Cohn. I skipped the recap from Saturday (R64 + R32), so we’ll briefly catch up on that before we get into Finals Day down […]

JACKS PRO DAY TWO

Some wind on it again today, but seemed like maybe a little more push, and definitely more broken up. Peaky and fun, even through the bumpy conditions.

CRYBABY

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 […]

JOURNALISM, RIGHT?

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 […]
