Re: Where did you surf today ?

I saw some footage of Harry Bryant. He wanted to get a wave at Pipe. He got to the beach before first light. It was dark. He went well down the beach and paddled out. He looped around the back to sit on second reef. He hadn’t been able to observe conditions from the beach. As soon as there was a gli...

Unlike The Pass and the Superbank, the filter of the Lennox rock off requirement reduces low skilled numbers.

Re: Just general surfing stuff

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...

Re: Just general surfing stuff

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.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

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.
