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 […]

It’s been 2 days since the official end of the 2023 competitive surf season and I’m ready to get into next year. That’s not completely true as there are still a lot of regional QS events left in this calendar year, but for the big show, we’re rolling into next season. It is a funny […]
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 […]
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 […]
