HELLO, MY NAME IS: LUKE WORSHAM

I know, I know – I’m late. But we have a great guest this week, so at least the wait was worthwhile. I’ve seen this kid in the water at home a few times, and then I saw him featured in a Stab article, and then I saw Travis from Inherent Bummer write about him, […]

STAB IN THE DARK WITH ETHAN EWING

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.

LOOK TWICE

I’ve been in the water a lot recently. It’s been nice. Last week I had two familiar encounters that brought me back to a headspace I hadn’t been in for quite some time. The first situation took place on Wednesday. A small, yet fun day out at the pier. Not too packed in comparison to […]

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 […]
