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 […]
We’re now 4 days into the waiting period and 6 surfers have been sent home; Courtney Conlogue, Teresa Bonvalot, Maxime Huscenot, Connor O’Leary, Kai Lenny, and Zeke Lau. Yeah. Zeke, who I previously called “Mr. Sunset”, has gone two for two with interference situations in the first two events. This one cost him the heat, […]
Well I guess the first thing to do is to look at the forecast right? That’s the M.O; see the wave prediction before we make the surfing prediction. Talk about how this surfer is better than that one in the waves we might see in the first few rounds. Advise picking a fantasy team who […]
Have you ever taken a road trip in a vehicle that was not fit for the job? Some clunker that had you anxious the entire ride with thoughts of breakdown, brakes going out, and tire falling off, the whole adventure taking hours longer than it should. Remember the feeling of relief once you finally reached […]
Today is like the day after Thanksgiving; what do we have for leftovers? Yesterday’s plate sure was full, and WOW, did John bag the Turkey!!! What a fucking show. Two full rounds of overlapping heats brought on 8 hours of surfing for you core lords. Pipeline finally looked a bit like Pipeline, and it was […]
We now have 2 days of women’s surfing in the books for the 2023 CT season. And what a couple of days it’s been. Four ladies had to surf 3 heats on the first day, and 3 of them had never surfed Pipe in a heat before. Unfortunately, all 4 of said women lost out […]
While the World Surf League’s 2023 Championship Tour season has gotten underway to somewhat mild conditions at the Pipeline Pro, wave-wise, there has been no shortage of drama unfolding over the first few days. Amidst the technology issues, the early upsets and interferences in the contest, what has really taken the surf sphere by storm […]
Not like we didn’t see it coming. Day one of the 2023 CT season got off to a stale start. The forecast had us prepared though, and the consensus is that none of us really cared that the waves were not going to shine. We were all ready for the Title Race to begin. That […]
Bet that I know something you don’t. The Triple Crown Winners were announced two days ago. That’s right. You might be wondering how that happened. How did you miss this renowned, honorable affair? What used to be viewed as one of the most prominent awards across the surf sphere, has now transformed into a series […]
*Gasping for air in between sets* Okay, last one. Since I gave front half predictions for the whole tour, including the Challenger Series Qualifiers, it’s now time for the final forecast – for the time being. Pipe’s waiting period will start tomorrow, running January 29th through February 10th. Let’s see what surfline says is being […]
