Have you ever taken a road trip in a vehicle that was not fit for the job? Some clunker that had you anxious the entire ride with thoughts of breakdown, brakes going out, and tire falling off, the whole adventure taking hours longer than it should. Remember the feeling of relief once you finally reached […]
Today is like the day after Thanksgiving; what do we have for leftovers? Yesterday’s plate sure was full, and WOW, did John bag the Turkey!!! What a fucking show. Two full rounds of overlapping heats brought on 8 hours of surfing for you core lords. Pipeline finally looked a bit like Pipeline, and it was […]
We now have 2 days of women’s surfing in the books for the 2023 CT season. And what a couple of days it’s been. Four ladies had to surf 3 heats on the first day, and 3 of them had never surfed Pipe in a heat before. Unfortunately, all 4 of said women lost out […]
While the World Surf League’s 2023 Championship Tour season has gotten underway to somewhat mild conditions at the Pipeline Pro, wave-wise, there has been no shortage of drama unfolding over the first few days. Amidst the technology issues, the early upsets and interferences in the contest, what has really taken the surf sphere by storm […]
Not like we didn’t see it coming. Day one of the 2023 CT season got off to a stale start. The forecast had us prepared though, and the consensus is that none of us really cared that the waves were not going to shine. We were all ready for the Title Race to begin. That […]

*Gasping for air in between sets* Okay, last one. Since I gave front half predictions for the whole tour, including the Challenger Series Qualifiers, it’s now time for the final forecast – for the time being. Pipe’s waiting period will start tomorrow, running January 29th through February 10th. Let’s see what surfline says is being […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: I have recently been informed that I have misinformed you all. This post is now edited. Originally in this write up I had only 10 surfers getting cut, bringing the roster to 24 after the MYC. In actuality, 12 surfers will be cut, and 22 will compete for a chance at a World […]
There’s a reason the IG handle @ sadpads is amongst the best follows in the surfing sphere right now. One of the few pages I check weekly to get my fair dosage of chuckles, most of the stuff they post is worthy of sharing. The reason I bring this up, however, is because I want […]
Anticipation is building for the start of the CT year. The waiting period for Pipe starts not this Sunday, but the next. Which brings an interesting question – if your favorite football team had a playoff game on said Sunday, to go to the Super Bowl, would you watch this or the Pipe Masters? With […]
