This one has brought up some heated debates. Truth be told, if you are arguing against this rule, I’m not so sure how fun you are to surf with. It’s pretty straight forward. It feels like common sense, but you might be surprised.. Rule Number Eight – IF IT’S CROWDED, WEAR A LEASH. Look, I […]

INSIDE ITINERARY
Week of 12/30 – 1/5/25 Well I hope you all had a great Christmas and that you’re ready for the New Year. I told you that I’m stepping up my game over here. It’s time to take this shit (kinda) serious. Otherwise I’m just wasting time; yours and mine. With that being said, today’s Monday. […]
DONE AND DUSTED
There’s been a ton happening in and around surfing, and I’ve done a terrible job of keeping you up to date. My apologies. I’ve been busy. It’s quite a job that guy Santa has. My older son is at the age where he’s enamoured with Christmas. Advent calendars, Elf on the Shelf, cookies & milk, […]
THE LIST
Dear Santa, I’ve been good this year. I’ve surfed a lot. Almost as much as I could. I’ve been sharing some surfing rules with the people, the community. It’s my way of giving back. Heck, some of the guys and gals are loving how the Rulebook is coming along. I hope you’ll like it. I […]
BITTERSWEET
I’m here to say I told you so. That QS event in Mexico was great viewing. Two future CT surfers had an absolute cracker of a Final, and there were 7 “excellent” heats (16 points or above) surfed since I told you to watch. Sorry you missed it, but I’ll fill you in. From the […]
GO
Don’t think about it, just go. Paddle out. Put your suit on and catch a couple. Remember, 3 waves counts as a surf. 3 waves, or an hour – your call. When’s the last time you regretted surfing? When have you gotten out of the water and were actually bummed that you paddled out? I […]
There’s a QS1000 going on in Mexico right now, and the camera work is atrocious. Heinous. Really bad. I had the contest on in the background for most of the day, but I actually tuned in for the last few heats. Wave looks really fun, but nothing special. And yeah, back to the cameras – […]
FUN, RIGHT?
Surfing is supposed to be fun, right? So why am I sitting out here so damn pissed off? Maybe it’s that dude who will not shut the fuck up. He paddles back out after every wave he catches and has to give a complete rundown to someone. He doesn’t even give a shit who. As […]
UNMATCHED
I’ve long held firm to my belief that a surfer’s only asset is the content they create. Maybe that’s why we see the largest content creators thriving the most in the surf world. Sure, they work a lot, but is it really work? Admittedly, JOB seemed like he was running out of steam for a […]
CRICKETS
It’s been quiet over here. A little too quiet. I can hear the crickets chirping outside my window. Weird. I don’t remember hearing crickets here before. And I thought I closed my window? I toss the covers off of me, spring up vertically to a sitting position, and listen close.. I just moved. Same city, […]
