The Fantasy Wash-Up – Billabong Pipe Masters Analysis
Even to a non-surfer, Pipeline has an aura about it. You don’t have to know about World Title races, Triple Crowns or the WSL to appreciate the spectacle that Pipeline/Backdoor provides. During the past 25 years, this writer would have had no issue getting psyched for each and every Pipe event. The first Pipe that I remember seeing was Tom Carroll and that snap at the ’91 event. As a goofy-footer grom, TC was my hero for years after that event. The few times he snaked... Read more

J-Bay Open Returns in 2016
Settle down, settle down. The 2016 CT will return to Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, following the Final-heard-round-the-world between Mick Fanning, Julian Wilson and a juvenile Great White shark. Before we jump down the WSL's collective throat about "marketing/profit over athlete safety," let's take a quick step back and analyze this universe. Jeffreys Bay has been a part of professional surfing since Marc Occhilupo won its inaugural event in 1984; between J-Bay and Durban, a total of 43 contests have been held since 1976. South Africa is... Read more

The Fantasy Wash Up: Post-Portugal Recap
Firstly, let me apologise for the lateness of my article; Travis Logie forced me to go on hold every few hours in order to reflect the true nature of the contest. The final result may be spectacular, but you could just lose your mind getting to it. Speaking of losing one’s mind: How bat-shit-crazy was that contest? World Title twists, upsets, near-perfect heats, near unrideable conditions, hours and hours of being on-hold, footage of pros getting sick waves on lay days, dark... Read more

This placed him dead last in the Heat and out of the event. His 5.33 (wave 1) and 5.5 (wave 2)... Read more
