Summer is here. I’ve already shared with you the Golden Rule to follow for this “surf season”, if you will. Since that writing, however, it has come to my attention that there are a lot more rules and regulations that need to be mentioned. I’m attempting to write an unwritten rule book; things you should […]
I’m bummed we don’t get some hilarious excuse from Kelly as to why he won’t be in Brazil this year. Ongoing Illness Stitches in the foot Lower back pain Personal reasons I wish just once he would have publicly shamed the joint. Maybe then the CT wouldn’t have to go back there every year? I […]
I’m preparing for summer. It’s basically here. I think the official start is next week. Most schools are either out already, or will be by next week. I can tell because I went surfing this morning. There is a new apartment complex going up on my street. Construction everyday. Construction workers stealing parking spots by […]
It’s wild how much better the WSL seems when they get some waves for events. Of course there will still be complaints and unfavorable opinions (Medina not getting a perfect 20 at Teahupoo, Griffin El Salvador interference, etc.), but for the most part, everyone’s stoked. It’s a medium happy. Tahiti was fucking insane. Obviously I […]
Yesterday morning I had one of the worst sessions of recent memory. An absolute shocker. As Jordy Smith once put it, I was bogging both rails at the same time. I could not figure it out. Waves were fun enough. Crowd wasn’t too hectic. I actually got into a few of the better set waves […]
If you know me, or if you’ve read any of my work before, you know how much I would love to throw fuel on the bonfire that is the public scrutiny of the WSL right now. A couple of questionable judging calls have ignited the flame. Instead, I would like to take this opportunity to […]
I surfed Southside yesterday. It was Thursday the 21st of March, 2024. It’s funny how bad Surfline is with their forecasts now. The day before (Wednesday) on the camera’s it said 3-4 feet. Thursday (yesterday) was forecasted to be smaller at 2-3 feet. This was not the case at all. On Wednesday, I caught a […]
I don’t know if you know this, but I like to think I am a little bit educated on surfboards. Just slightly. I feel like I know more than your average guy who surfs, but less than anyone who has ever worked on a surfboard. I used to be naive – I thought I knew […]
Portugal is a tough event to watch live if you reside in the United States. Starting around midnight, the day is usually wrapping up around the time I’m getting ready for a surf here on the West Coast. That is bad news for my fantasy team. I like to look at the man-on-man matchups and […]
ATMOSPHERIC RIVER Just recently was the first time I had ever heard that phrase in my life. It was no joke though. Relative to Southern California, we did see a lot of rain. It kept me out of the water for about a month. I’m back now, which brings me here. I debated breaking my […]
