A post shared by Joan Duru (@joanduru)

If you are running the Olympic qualifiers chances are you’d be pretty happy to have your current World Champion in the running to compete at the Olympics, no? Or am I confused.

Joan Duru has been denied a chance of competing because.. Well we don’t know… No one does…We did ask but no answer. So did he. Still no answer..

The French mens team will be made up of Flores and Bourez, both who qualified by holding high WSL rankings. Fair enough they rip but Joan was overlooked for the alternate list by.. well doesn’t matter who by as he isn’t current world champ.


Access denied

An understandably upset ISA World Champion said on Insta

“To qualify for Olympic Games first ranking was WCT 2019 were I finish behind Jeremy and Michel so I should be alternate for France but @isasurfing denied it because I was injured for isa 2019 with medical certificate.

“@surfingfrance did legal appeal to accept my injured and put me back in the alternate list but @isasurfingnever replied so it still denied.

“With 9 CT surfer who didn’t participate due to injury (appealing) I’m the only athlete who got denied with Johanne and Kelly doing good result the contest before and after Isa.

“I only ask to have my alternate place for France.

“Can I just have an answer to justify that choice? @isasurfing@surfingfrance. “

We think he has a justified claim. So too do Jeremy, Michel and lot of others.

ISA? Is your world title worth anything?

Lobotomy, Volcom Full Film.

In a frothing departure from travel scenics, lifestyle and “athlete” interviews, LOBOTOMY plunges headlong into a relentless visual assault of surf and only surf action set entirely to the ear-bending music of Frankie and the Witch Fingers—A nonstop cinematic climax that ought to leave surf fanatics in a puddle of drool and other matter both real and imagined.

While putting this edit together they asked Bobby what song he wanted, and he didn’t hesitate in asking for the same one as the Taj Burrow's part in “Momentum: Under the Influence” circa 2001.

G-SHOCK unveils new surf watches

G-SHOCK unveils new surf watches

From the G-LIDE Series of G-SHOCK extreme sports watches comes a pair of new models that add night surfing designs to the GBX-100.

This new model comes with the ability to display information required by surfers (high tide and low tide times and levels), and to use a phone application for simple selection of one of approximately 3,300 locations around the globe.

A high resolution MIP LCD enhances readability, and enables display of tide graph, moon data, high tide and low tide times, tide levels, and sunrise and sunset times.

These models have a guard structure that withstands impact from above, below, left, and right, making them the perfect choice for wear while surfing.

The bezel is composed of a combination of resin and metal, with stainless steel for the bezel top. The bezel combines hairline and honed surface finishes to create an elegant look.

Launched in 1983, G-SHOCK creates technologically advanced watches that can resist gravity, freezing temperatures, high water pressure and magnetic fields, watches built to last forever through a constant pursuit of toughness.

Available for £159. See the new G-LIDE GBX-100NS and the full G-SHOCK collection at g-shock.co.uk / @gshock_uk

Uluwatu XL

Uluwatu XL

Big west swells at Uluwatu is always scary and not many people have the fortitude to paddle out. In the morning a few guys paddled, just before high-tide with their 8ft+ guns. As the tide started to drop in the afternoon, more and more people try their luck on the outside corner, less cleanup sets and running better than the Bombie in the morning.
