Have we already talked about how fucking gnarly the Challenger Series is? For example, Jordan Lawler didn’t surf at Snapper, but he won the first event he surfed in – the Sydney Pro. He then got 33rd in Ballito, and now has back-to-back 73rd (dead last) place results. He currently sits in 14th place on […]
If you’ve followed along with this website for any duration of the 3 and a half years it’s been around, you might have noticed something a little troubling. I know I am at fault, and I’m here to own up to it today. So here it goes – I’d like to apologize to any, and […]
Did Caity Simmers just ruin ‘big’ surfboard manufacturing? One could argue that John has basically done the same thing. What the hell am I even on about, you might ask. Well, if you’ve kept up with the WSL World Tour over the last two years then you know about the Vissla Shaper Rankings – the […]
John John Florence and Caity Simmers are your 2024 World Surf League World Title winners. The Champions. The pair went into Finals Day – Friday, Sept. 6th, each sitting atop their respective division; two heat wins away from glory. Caity had to wait until noon for her first wave out at Lower Trestles. John paddled […]
Commonly referred to as “one of the best to never win a World Title”, Julian Wilson is attempting to make his return to competition. Per his Instagram: “This time three years ago I was sitting in a hotel quarantine room in the aftermath of my Tokyo Olympic campaign, watching my dream as a WT surfer […]

Here are the heats: HEAT 1- Italo Ferreira vs. Ramzi Boukhiam vs. Leonardo Fioravanti HEAT 2- Jack Robinson vs. Ryan […]
Poor Marco Mignot. I hope someone called the cops; he just got robbed. Completely hosed. I’ve rewatched the Final at least 4 times now, and I will not be talked out of my opinion – Mignot should have beat Cleland and won the US Open. I don’t know if it’s a matter of industry favoritism, […]
Technically speaking, the US Open got started this past Saturday. We’re back. Sublime played down on the sand. I heard it was about $200 for a ticket. Bradley Nowell’s son Jakob is now singing with the band, so that’s rad. The only surfing that has gone down so far has been longboarding. I do have […]
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 […]
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 […]
