Not even 2 days after the WSL sent out an email informing surfers about the inclusion of “wave basins” to events ranked lower than CT (Championship Tour), we have our first QS1000 announcement. Rip Curl Pro URBNSURF QS1000 Presented by Pirate Life. The event is set to start, and finish, on December 10th, per URBNSURF’s […]
This is the first full year, or season that I am tapping into Stab High, and fuck me, am I impressed. It is briefly covered in the first episode, but the previous years events took place in Waco, Mentawais, and Costa Rica. This is the 4th installment of the franchise. It’s held at Lakey Peak, […]
I just received an email from the WSL’s own SVP Tours and Head of Competition Jessi Miley – Dyer. Here is the email. This means the Wozzle is opening up the Surf Ranch, as well as other “wave basins” using Kelly Slater Wave Systems technology, to Pro Juniors, QS events, and the Longboard tiers. Exciting […]
Over the past few days, I’ve watched a bit of the Challenger Series event going on at Saquarema. I prophesied a bland viewing. To my pleasant surprise, I fancied the time spent. Never before have I taken note of how amusing that wave looks. It’s a shaken up, mixed grab bag of everything you could […]

This is exactly what I was referring to 2 years ago when I name dropped him in this piece as the most progressive surfer I […]
Even if you don’t follow any American professional sports, as a surfer, you have obviously heard of Raheem Mostert. The NFL running back made waves last year with his unique touchdown dance that may have caught your eye. In the game to go to the Super Bowl (NFC Championship), Mostert set a team record for […]
AHH yes. Ladies and gentleman, without further ado, I bring to you the long awaited return of our brother, Mick. I have informed him of the copious amounts of requests I have received for his writing. We are blessed to day to be able to secure a bit more content from him. Enjoy. – hwilsin […]
Is surfing superstitious in any way? For example, do you have a mojo before a surf? Specific stretching routine? Certain playlist you listen to on the way to the beach? Do you only use a particular wax? Smoke two joints in the morning? Think of your typical lot lizard who refuses to paddle out anywhere […]
I know, I know. I just said I was done with the Woz for a bit. However, the Wiz just recently announced the schedule for next year’s CT tour, much to the dismay of the general surf fan. Comments flooded in from all directions on the WSL’s Instagram post: “look at these comments. Listen to […]
