AIN'T THAT SWELL

Rip Curl Mirage Activate Boardshort Presents BLITZED! The last Changaz Comp of the year is on right now at Haleiwa and our Aussie CT hopefuls are lining up to make it count. One man who knows exactly what they're going through is 10 year CT veteran and tsunami survivor Richie Lovett who back in 1995 needed to win the at Haleiwa to qualify for the CT. And guess what? The cunt did just that! Today Rich takes us through how he pulled off a miracle under such intense pressure, who he thinks will sack up and cough a bit of nutmeg into their last ditch Changaz campaign, and who he believes will lift the trophies come the final hooters. Essential insider knowledge from the once gorgeous Hot Tuna model.

Rip Curl Presents... Blitzed: Pure Tour Nerdism. Today Smiv catches up with WA's Jacob Willcox, one of a handful of Aussies looking for a big result in the final Changaz event of the year at Haleiwa to seal a place on the 2023 Woz CT. To do it he'll have to overcome a shocking run of outs for goofys at this event, but if anyone has untethered mongrel and pure fucken GRIT to get it done, it's our boy Chippo. Get in behind Straya!

20-30 foot and not a drop of water out of place! Has there ever been a more consistent or perfect big wave cone-off like the one that bombarded Cloudbreak Reef on June 8 2012, right in the middle of the waiting period for the Volcom Fiji Pro? Fwaaark no! It was one the books! Thankfully 29 Gold Cone Piece Award Winning Surf Journo Sean Doherty was there to cover both the magnitude of the day as it played out and the mechanics behind the ASP's decision TO NOT send the best surfers in the world into the maw of history. A missed opportunity or a genuine life-saving call? Have a listen and make up your own mind. Oh yeah, and Deadly also shares his story of being caught inside by the set of the century. Much to love here!

For 16 years now World Champ Barton Lynch has been running the world’s most fun grom experience. Part coaching seminar, part full-tilt froth out, BL’s Blast Off started off as a friendly and encouraging environment for kids to surf a few heats and improve their surfing without the pressure of hooters and heat scores. Over the years he introduced workshops and talks to help kids at all levels begin to gain a deeper understanding of the positivity that comes with surfing’s  connection to environment, community and culture. Always adaptable BL pushed the Blast Off online when Covid threatened to shut it down and soon he had entries from over 26 countries around the world. This year’s six week championship window is now open and we thought it a good time to catch up with The Stoked Bloke himself to find out what he hopes to instil with the next generation of trimmers, cruisers, shredders, part-timers and world beaters.
