I had a few of the most ridiculous, albeit, hilarious surfs that I have partaken in for quite some time last weekend. Not the one we just had, but prior. This was coming off the heels of my trip to ‘Surf City’ El Salvador, where the Adult Learning population is large and growing, mind you. […]
A couple of storybook results here at the Southern California Skatepark this past week. 34-year-old Miggy Pupo continues his dream run, winning his 2nd event of the season (Bells, Lowers), while 19-year-old Erin Brooks just won her 3rd straight (Teahupoo, Cloudbreak, Lowers). As another side story, this was the last event before the ‘mini cut’. […]
The story of the day is Erin Brooks. She just surfed one of the best waves in Women’s competitive surfing history out at Cloudbreak for a unanimous 10. There are 4 waves that we can compare this to. Molly Picklum’s 10 at Pipe in 2024. Steph Gilmore’s 10 at Keramas in 2019. Erin Brooks 10 […]
You know the saying by now. If you don’t, why are you not following on social media? Here are the links. Go ahead and do it now. Follow here on Instagram. Follow here on X / Twitter. Follow here on Threads. Follow here on Facebook. So I post a Wave Check photo nearly every morning. […]
“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 […]
