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 […]
Pete Mel and Strider trade verbal jabs on the live broadcast. My grom is asleep. I sip my cold Pacifico. Day One at Jeffrey’s Bay was a warm welcome back from my boycott. If you are a reasonably responsible person living in the US, chances are you did not stay awake through the wee hours […]
So J-Bay just started. It is one of 2 remaining contests before the infamous Finals Day will decide this years World Champion at Lower Trestles. I’ve been working on this for a few days now. I was really hoping yesterday would be a lay day so I could post this before the contest started. Nonetheless, […]
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. Oscar Wilde See what the power of a simple boycott can do? That’s right folks; Erik Logan and the WSL are a couple no more. I’m not going to claim full responsibility here, but I would like to point out the timing of this situation […]
Within hours of me writing this seething, emotionally fueled opinion piece calling for action, the WSL comes through flaunting yet another head scratcher. If you stay up to date with surf media/press, you might have heard whispers of this move through Stab or possibly the Inertia (did they do a piece on this?). If not, […]
The fans of surfing have spoken. For better or for worse. What they have said is that no amount of absolute Tom-Foolery from that clown of a CEO of the WSL will stop them from watching competitive, ‘professional’ surfing. This rubs me the wrong way just a bit. There has been lots of complaining, lots […]
Is there anyone better than our beloved Oklahoman Chief Of Executives to the Global Home Of Surfing at maintaining a professional, faultless stance when it comes to defending the integrity of the sport? I believe not. Read below, where none other than The Mr. Erik Logan responds to the stone throwing athletes which we just […]
If you haven’t heard yet, some drama is spewing around the surf world. To spoil the fun, it’s nothing serious, just yet another complaint about judging. Gabriel Medina, 3X World Champion, just sent a harrowing message to the WSL via his Instagram, shortly after the completion of the Surf Ranch Pro. Read: “Dear WSL, Please […]
Kelly Slater brings in a large majority of viewers for the Woz right? That’s the presumed reason he received the wildcard for the second half, and the first half of 2024? Of course there’s the Olympic qualifications, as well as his “contributions to surfing”, but it’s regularly assumed that Kelly draws a lot of eyes. […]
The race to get onto the Championship Tour has now become the center of attention to the surfing world at large. The CT itself is constantly on the receiving end of shit talk, criticism, negative comment boards, bad luck, shaming, etc. The Challenger Series is the sweet, innocent, cute, new little sibling. You can’t hate […]
