Have you tuned in to this last CS contest? What a doozie! Not only the action itself, but obviously all of the qualification implications – it’s been nuts. Action-packed, one could say. Highs and lows, heartbreaks and triumphs, surprises and upsets, we’ve seen just about all of the above so far. And we haven’t even […]
Well, I guess right back to the contest writing. I know it’s a bit redundant, but it’s something I am passionate about. Regardless of location, swell, conditions, surfers, board type, or anything else, I will tune into a live surf contest to watch if given the opportunity. There’s a pro junior going on in Japan […]
I’ve been in the water a lot recently. It’s been nice. Last week I had two familiar encounters that brought me back to a headspace I hadn’t been in for quite some time. The first situation took place on Wednesday. A small, yet fun day out at the pier. Not too packed in comparison to […]
Did you all see this one yet? Nominee for burn of the year right? Well apparently we’ve missed the back story – we didn’t see any of the paddle, nor did we see either surfer get to their feet. Nonetheless, a scroll through the posts comment section might give you some background info. Mid 40’s […]
So I missed Finals Day. Undoubtedly you noticed. I received mass complaints of no coverage whatsoever. No pre-event predictions, no tweets going out during the event, and until this point, nothing after. I haven’t posted anything in a couple weeks; it’s been a while. Well, congratulations to Filipe Toledo and Caroline Marks. Truth is, I […]
BeachGrit’s infamous, the one and only true Surf Journalist Chas Smith has long said that the WSL hates its fans. While I’ve previously thought this was a pretty stark stance to take, the statement is hard to disagree with on behalf of the Woz’s recent decision. Their choice to not replace the injured Ethan Ewing […]
If you ever listen to surf podcasts then you probably know who Scott Bass is. I don’t even like to admit this, but over the past year or so I have become a big hater. This isn’t to say I personally dislike the guy; I’ve never met him, never had any interactions with him. All […]
If you’re not pretty tuned in to the surf scene, you might not have heard this story, which is why I am telling it to you now. As a warning, this is a bit redundant because I am just sharing the news through what I have read and heard. Hearsay. Admittedly terrible journalism. I have […]
I’ve never been great at giving an apology, but I am hoping you can accept this as one. Especially you Biolos. I took his recent IG post to heart, the one calling out no coverage of the US Open from surf media at large. I feel responsible for not producing on this front. That’s what […]
I was just listening to a surf podcast when I heard something I found interesting – the WSL stopped Griffin Colapinto from participating in a local community surf contest. On a recent L8 Night With Choccy episode, Travis Ferre of Inherent Bummer revealed that Griff was not allowed to compete in the 2% Classic which […]
