The beauty of a QS event, am I right? 1-2 foot, onshore, mushy, terrible slop that basically nobody wants to surf; Surely nobody wants to watch. Except for me. And Parker Cohn. I skipped the recap from Saturday (R64 + R32), so we’ll briefly catch up on that before we get into Finals Day down […]
No Jacks Pro(QS4000). Yes Margaret River(CT Event #2). Like Red Light / Green Light. Ironic. ‘Surf City’ Huntington Beach, one of the busiest beaches on the West Coast, my home town which is surfed all year round, all day long, closes down the water due to a (supposed) shark sighting. The reported sighting was Thursday […]
Some wind on it again today, but seemed like maybe a little more push, and definitely more broken up. Peaky and fun, even through the bumpy conditions. As expected, score lines were up, and the talent level has definitely started to rise. Here’s what went down on Day Two at the Jacks Pro. From the […]
The Qualifying Series is so gnarly. I wouldn’t say every person in the draw could win, but every person surfs good enough to make some heats. It reminds me a lot of college basketball, in comparison to pro basketball. These “kids” – if you will – are hungry. They are trying to juice every drop […]
Miguel Pupo just became an all time great. Medina is back; really back. The First Round elimination heats are looking tough. The Colapinto brothers surfed a heat against each other. The Brazilian Storm is in full effect on the CT, and the local North American QS season is about to start. Here’s the brief catch […]
One step forward, two steps back. The WSL never fails. Just as I was starting to think I may like this new CEO, Ryan Crosby. Well, it’s time for some Q and A. The Challenger Series schedule came out for next year/season, as well as the Longboard schedule. We’ll start with the loggers, since it’s […]
Tears of joy and tears of heartbreak; yes its Qualifying Season. The last event of the North American ‘QS’ year wrapped up in Barbados just last week, and now the Challenger Series season is about to come to a close at the Bioglan Newcastle Surfest in less than two days. That means we’ve got new […]
I’m here to say I told you so. That QS event in Mexico was great viewing. Two future CT surfers had an absolute cracker of a Final, and there were 7 “excellent” heats (16 points or above) surfed since I told you to watch. Sorry you missed it, but I’ll fill you in. From the […]
There’s a QS1000 going on in Mexico right now, and the camera work is atrocious. Heinous. Really bad. I had the contest on in the background for most of the day, but I actually tuned in for the last few heats. Wave looks really fun, but nothing special. And yeah, back to the cameras – […]
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 […]
