The Wozzle Shamozzle…


You mean you don't understand "Bracket Stage"??
Sounds like a placeholder for an idea till you think of something better.


I’m going to say that overlapping heats has been a brilliant idea that took a long time to come up with. Great for surfers, great for viewing, compacting the time element.
Other than that I can’t help you.


Something for the comp couch types to mull over...

Sally Fitz wildcard, letting trans women surf against women, the final at Trestles. They are doing a great job at fucking everything up time and time again.


Nick You’re not the only one with that realisation. Check out this recent Surf Splendor YouTube clip where they discuss WSL fails


Yeah watched a bit of that ABB yesterday mentioned above.
It was absolutely awesome.
Held in the junkiest grindiest conditions, yet absolutely riveting for all the reasons outlined in the article.
A long way off from the WSL s{l}ickfest.
Congrats to BBB for the win.
And to think Dakota Walters is nowhere to be seen near a WSL event yet completely stole the show yesterday and showed himself to be one of the very best competition surfers in Australia.
How exactly does the WSL get it so wrong?
I'd start with chief SUP rider and work my way back from there.


I honestly can’t get myself to watch it. I have many more important things to do.


“incredible feedback”


"continuation of the successful onsite activation"
Hahahaha!


No sign of "forward leaning"?Can't be corpo speak without it.
It’s doing my head in. Can anyone please explain to me how anything the WSL seem to do just seems plain bad. Like they’re trying to go out of there for negative criticism. Tell me one thing they have achieved that has been met with universal acclaim and not vice versa.
I don’t understand. Surely they have a little team monitoring the feedback on there activity yet the just keep making poor decisions. Not only that but there is never any acknowledgment or ownership of they’re poor decisions. Lies and exaggeration are just the norm. Trestles was watched by 7 million+ people. Bullshit. How do they expect us to believe that when they can’t even crack 10k viewers each competition.
I need answers, theories, anything to help me understand this whole situation.
