If there was a strict set of rules determining the recipient, it would not be a wildcard.

I wonder if viewer numbers still go up when Kelly surfs. Not much I reckon, particularly as the chances of Kelly being in the later heats are now not great. Kelly still has a name recognition value but I suspect his friendship with fellow Floridian Dirk Ziff might be a pretty strong factor in him ge...

Can’t everybody have a whinge about work?

They can get in the way if you are moving up and down a longboard.

I watch a bit of the WSL comps. I used to watch a lot of it. I have never given the WSL a moment’s thought when I go for a surf. It has zero impact on my surfing experience, unless they are partially responsible for crowded surf breaks.

Nathan Florence was saying the only land-based exercise he has encountered that seemed particularly good for paddle fitness was using a SkiErg machine. https://youtu.be/9Jqcxr8Iq5E Is he sponsored by them? No. The sticker isn’t on his board. Nate just made a passing remark. He is a gym junkie.

A lot of the pros still like EPS for small wave surfing. More fun for fast whippy turns and pop for airs.

What happened to get the chap so deeply buried? Why is it a very North American problem?

I don’t think Surfline is an offshoot of Rupert Murdoch.

That’s what I tell my wife.

This was posted a couple of months ago. An 80 second ride on the Superbank. The wave steadily improving as it goes along. The ride could have been a fair bit longer. It’s good viewing though. A beautiful day on the Goldy.

World Swimming had a vote last year and continues to ban trans athletes from competing in women’s events. World Athletics now use the less than 5 nanomoles/l rule (for previous 6 months). The Olympics used to have a less than 10 nanomoles/l rule, but I think they are now leaving it up to national bo...

I’d like to visit Dunedin to see Baldwin Street, the world's steepest street.

A very good piece by Nick on the Eddie. Lots of good photos. Keep scrolling down to pick up Nick’s sections of text. His photo captions are worth reading too.

Why's that? I've heard it before but can't fathom why. I don’t know. It seems odd to me too. When I see a board like that I get a stab of fear. Holy shit! The true fearful body sense that the board is in an entire other dimension to anything I would do. The extremeness of it. Watching big wave surf...
