6 events. 80 surfers. 10 spots up for grabs. If surfing was big enough, someone could film a reality show about the Challenger Series. Almost had it with Make Or Break. Nice try, WSL. Or better yet, maybe we could program an algorithm into one of these new AI bots to take all of the […]
Now that we’re done and dusted with the MYC, we can move on to the next brainchild of the WSL; the Final 5. Many quarrels have been had over this very topic – the entire idea, the location, the format (sudden death) etc. That is not what I am here to do today, most of […]
The results are in – the mid year cut is official, and we now have the CT roster locked in for the back half of the 2023 World Tour. As you remember, I made some predictions before the year started. We’ll have a look at how I fared near the end of this post. For […]
The West Coast has something cooking. You can smell it from Blacks to Rincon. Here’s your personal invite to the BBQ. In 2010, California saw 7 surfers on the World Tour – plus a wildcard in Timmy Reyes. The surfers were: Dane Reynolds, Taylor Knox, Bobby Martinez, Pat Gudauskas, Brett Simpson, Tanner Gudauskas, and Nate […]
I’ve reached 100 followers. This is my official thank you to all of you. I’ve spent a lot of time watching videos and reading articles about “how to grow my website”, “how to grow my brand”, etc. What I’ve found is a lot of tricks and tips about how to feed these algorithms the correct […]
The contest at Bells is called on. 30ish minutes of waiting for a start. In the midst of lunch for the kid, lunch for myself, afternoon baseball, mental planning. A quick toss outside. The event has slipped my mind. ‘Pop’ goes the leather. The rain is gone. My team lost, again. What else happened? I […]
It feels like the Woz is playing Deebo from the movie Friday. In this scene, we – the general audience – would play Red. His dad, driving the car, would be BeachGrit. Finally, Deebo is representing the Wizzle. Now, the bike is clearly a symbol. The bike could be depicting the time we would like […]
I’ve decided I love Sunset Beach as a venue on the CT. I think it should stay forever. The difficulty of the wave is always evident, which makes it that much sweeter when a surfer does complete an excellent ride. Throw out the wave pool and keep this stop, please. Speaking of excellent rides, we […]
Fourteen. Thats how many heats remain in the Hurley Pro Sunset Beach after the Women’s Round of 16 ran yesterday – much to the dismay of the internet. At least the portion of the internet that is the Woz’s IG comment section. This isn’t a Beachgrit article, so I won’t be directly quoting from that […]
Maybe it’s just me, but I was pleasantly surprised at the waves yesterday. Again, could be me, but I thought it was supposed to be blown to shit throughout the majority of this waiting period, similar to what we saw for Day Two. Clearly mistaken. Note to self – learn to read charts and forecasts […]
