I’m always on the look for something fresh when it comes to competitive surfing. I just recently pointed you in the direction of the Wave Pool Surf Tour, remember? Well here is something else. While this isn’t exactly brand new, Natural Selection Surf is soon returning for its second season, and I’m fired up. If […]
Well, shit. This didn’t age well. But hey, look at me. I’ll own it; I can take a Loss. As soon as I got done writing off Seth Moniz on reddit, he went and did this. In fairness, I will say that Teahupoo is a wave that one would expect Seth to do well at. […]
“Oh, I can win this thing. I just gotta get past Jack Robinson first.” – Kelly Slater, 54 years old. In case you slept under a rock today, Teahupoo was absolutely insane. One of the most entertaining days of professional surfing in recent memory. 11 Heats ran, 15 excellent waves were ridden, Griffin nearly went […]
I tried to warn you. All of you. Look what we have now. 2 events down on the ‘Challenger Series’, 2 wins for CT surfers. Headline correction – “Championship Tour surfers step down, Dominate Challenger Series Stop # 2 in Huntington Beach at the Lexus US Open of Surfing” 6 CT Surfers were in the […]
Editors Note: I have since been informed that I was incorrect in stating that a surfer may improve their wave as many times as they want. They only get two improvement attempts, if they so choose. There’s a new sheriff in town – the Wavepool Surf Tour (WPST). <Enter Rick Kane joke here>. I’ve seen […]
Less than 4% of Division 1 college basketball players will make the NBA. This is why I prefer college basketball over the NBA. Those kids play with so much more passion, so much more love and respect for the game, and they don’t expect anything from it. A college scholarship and an education (if they […]
Well, it’s not exactly what I was expecting, but I’m pretty stoked. If you haven’t heard the news yet, the WSL has officially added a new stop to the 2026 Championship Tour schedule, halfway through the year. Cloud 9 in the Philippines will now be on the 2026 ‘Post Season’ Championship Tour Schedule. The World […]
So we are three (plus) days into the El Salvador Pro, and the Fantasy Surf World is reeling. Griffin got knocked out by Al Cleland Jr, Ethan Ewing lost to Callum Robson, and Filipe was beaten by Kauli Vaast. Three event favorites out in Round 2. Eli Hanneman threw me a (tiny) middle finger for […]
Ethan Ewing might not be the World Champion, but he is everyone’s favorite surfer right now. Even Britt Merrick. So when Stab announced his appearance as this season’s SITD surfer, excitement filled the room. Remember, Surfing is a very small room in the grand scheme of things. Stab really had to do right after the […]
2006 Barra. 2010 Lowers. 2017 J-Bay. 2019 Keramas. Could this year’s Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro join the upper echelon of most high performance surf events ever? I think after today, the argument is there. I just got home from judging a contest of my own and pulled up the webcast to see Ethan Ewing throw […]
