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 […]
So the WSL is back at it again. Remember last year when just before Finals Day, they implemented that new Rule where if the 1 seed won their first Heat, they won the Title? Well anyways, they are back again with another mid-year Format (read: Schedule) change. The WSL will officially announce a “new” wave […]
Swell of the Decade, so they’ve been saying. Is that true? What was the last swell that was this hyped, and then actually lived up to that? Hurricane Marie? I can not believe it’s been 12 years since then. I’ve been surfing for almost 20 years and boogie boarding as a grom before that, my […]
Hey! What are you doing? No you’re not. What are you doing? I’m looking at you right now. You’re not riding a wave. What are you doing? Why? Why are you waiting for a wave? What about that one? So why are you waiting? Why? What makes a good one anyway? Can’t you have fun […]
It’s been quiet over here. A little too quiet. I can hear the crickets chirping outside my window. Weird. I don’t remember hearing crickets here before. And I thought I closed my window? I toss the covers off of me, spring up vertically to a sitting position, and listen close.. I just moved. Same city, […]
What’s the best wave you’ve ever caught in your life? I heard Taj Burrow give an interview about a recent session out at Cloudbreak where he caught the best wave of his life. He’s 46 years old. He surfed on Tour for who knows how many years, traversed the globe a handful of times surfing […]
“Remember, don’t take it too seriously; we’re making pool toys.” That was the last part of the sanding lesson my boss gave me yesterday, after I sanded through yet another board. It’s a long process – learning how to build boards, and it’s not easy. But neither is surfing. It was a long process to […]
The best waves are the ones that we don’t see coming; the unexpected swell. Showing up to the beach ready for a regular old rinse, but then the waves are cooking – that’s one of the best feelings in surfing. The lineups are much emptier than they should be. There’s plenty of parking. Nobody in […]
I generally don’t watch many surf videos on youtube. Definitely no vlogs. I’ve previously explained how I feel there is already too much surfing to get my eyes on, specifically on Instagram. Every clip hits the internet before the surfers get their hair dry, and you scroll through it within a day. What’s the point […]
