I am writing a blog for Degree 33 on general surf etiquette right now and would love your input. How would you define a kook? I often hear varying answers…

It seems the trajectory for progression in the surfing world is aimed at who can ride the lowest volume boards. Contrarily, I’ve found that the great progress I’ve made in my surfing, especially as it relates to style, speed, and flow, are when I am practicing on higher volume boards. (Longboards and midlengths). I wrote a blog on this and would love to hear your thoughts. https://www.degree33surfboards.com/blogs/gettin-pitted/why-surf-bigger-boards

For all you surf history nerds (hopefully not just me haha) this is only a 3 minute video, but is very insightful. Good for a surfer to learn the roots of this modern era. https://youtu.be/0AeaZb7oqHU?si=3M5ZP-FENF2yy7xG

Our monthly live Q&A calls have been awesome! So far we have had pro surfer @Damien Hobgood, Dr. @Dave Santamaria talking about surf health and @Aaron Trevis talking about the future of wave parks. If you missed them be sure to make the next one! We are actively looking for new guests for these. Who in the surfing world would you like to see us invite to be a guest?

Connor O’Leary with the best backhand surfing I’ve ever seen at JBay. Pretty rad he’s also a new father. This is a ride we should all dissect and learn from. https://youtu.be/PhCd1W5DbZc?si=XgMP8nHvgWnRXKg2
