“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 […]
You know that trendy, annoying phrase that a lot of the kids are saying these days: “_________ was a movie” ? We’ll let me tell you something; Summertime in Huntington Beach could be a movie. People have no fucking clue what’s going on, but they like to think and act like they do. From July […]
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 […]
The Cry is Free. And the Cry was Loud. From all over the globe, really. Australia, Hawaii, USA, and surprisingly, Brazil. Everyone had some kind of complaint about the judging/scoring during the Ballito Pro. Here are a few of my favorite comments: “This is surfing, not ice skating, scores are not determined by how many […]
I have started to notice that the less I surf, the less I think about Surfing Etiquette. Shocker. With Summer fully upon us, however, I am quickly reminded of how many Seasonal Surfers we have around here. Many of these Summer Surfers are commonly referred to as VAL’s (Vulnerable Adult Learner), COVID Surfers, or Kooks, […]
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 the WSL is back at it again. Remember last year when just before Finals Day, they implemented that new Rule where if the 1 seed won their first Heat, they won the Title? Well anyways, they are back again with another mid-year Format (read: Schedule) change. The WSL will officially announce a “new” wave […]
Back like we never left. (Pretend I didn’t miss last week’s interview). I’m very excited for this week’s guest. Since I’ve started this series, I’ve had my eye open for people within the culture that I might be interested in speaking with. With Social Media nowadays, self promotion has reached the grandest of heights. It’s […]
Swell of the Decade, so they’ve been saying. Is that true? What was the last swell that was this hyped, and then actually lived up to that? Hurricane Marie? I can not believe it’s been 12 years since then. I’ve been surfing for almost 20 years and boogie boarding as a grom before that, my […]
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 […]
