WAVE POOL INFO

“I’ve seen bigger waves in a toilet.” It’s that time of year again! The most hotly debated contest of the WSL’s entire existence is upon us. Not only is this event back at a wave pool, this one is located in Abu Dhabi, an area where human rights are held precariously. It is such a […]

NEW PRIME

Jordy Smith dropped an insane movie last week. A mind bending, perspective altering watch. My immediate thought – is Jordy the best 37 year old surfer, ever? I had to go back to 2010 Kelly clips to find out the short answer – no. If Jordy can win the title this year, like we were […]

WAVES

Hey! What are you doing? No you’re not. What are you doing? I’m looking at you right now. You’re not riding a wave. What are you doing? Why? Why are you waiting for a wave? What about that one? So why are you waiting? Why? What makes a good one anyway? Can’t you have fun […]

SCHEDULE

Week Of 1/6/25 – 1/12/25 I know, I know. Few days late. And I really didn’t kill it last week either. You see, when you look up things like “how to grow my blog” or “how to get followers on social media” the consistent key that I’ve seen is, well, consistency. That, and providing meaningful […]

RULE NUMBER EIGHT

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 […]
