Aloha

Italo backdooring a Pipeline left

Yes, it’s a goodbye, but it’s more than that. Firstly, we don’t know the full extent of our goodbye. We DO know that we won’t be creating any fantasy content for the 2024 season, either as a fantasy game or source of analysis. Beyond that, who knows?

J-Bay Fantasy Preview

The fames J-Bay Line-up

J-Bay now sits front and center of the qualification drama. While the 2024 tour may be locked in pending some Challenger events, the final 5 places for the Trestles finals, as well as a few Olympic places, are still well and truly up for grabs. Will Filipe run away with the #1 seed? Will Gabe … Read more

Sunset 2023 – Fantasy Preview

Usually, the days after a Pipe final are filled with stories of heroics, striking images of overhead waves, and newfound hyperbole regarding the healthy state of competitive surfing. This year, we’re just going to quietly make our way up the Kamehameha Hwy to take refuge in the Hurley Sunset Pro. I’m stoked for Jack and … Read more

Tahiti Fantasy Preview

With J-Bay a distant memory, and the frothy taste of Huntington still souring our collective mouths, it’s time to rinse and spit with a healthy dose of Teahupo’o. But before we kick off the event preview, it’s only fitting that we take a moment to put the broader consequences of the final event of the … Read more

Staring Down the Cut

If you’ve had anything to do with professional surfing during the last fortnight, you’ve no doubt heard some static around ‘the mid-season cut’. Depending on who you listen to, opinions about the cut range from it being an overdue efficiency strategy, a clever device to increase drama, or an outright injustice. Regardless of how you … Read more

Margaret River Fantasy Preview

John John at the Box

I’m aware of just how late this is dropping. I’ve had sick kids and the fantasy stuff has had to take a back seat. Hopefully you’ve been making good use of the data and surfer comparison features that are build into the FSS game. Conditions The WSL have plenty of venue guides for Margies, or … Read more

Bells Beach Fantasy Preview

Hells Bells; we’re back at the bowl. After covid breaks and travel restrictions, Bells Beach hosts a CT tour event for the first time since John beat Filipe in 2019. In the meantime, Rip Curl’s Bells maestro – Mick Fanning – found love, had a child, saved a bunch of Tweed locals during the floods, … Read more

Pipeline 2022 – By the Numbers

Wow. That was some contest. Moana, Slater, classic Pipe. Records, upsets, injuries, surprises and redemption. Fantasy-wise, it was a mixed mag. Anyone who picked the usual suspects of Kelly, John and Mr Consistency Kanoa were rewarded, as were those who believed in Carissa. Moana was another ‘obvious’ pick who came through, and both Miggy and … Read more

Pipeline 2022 – Fantasy Preview

I know it’s not our first time doing this, but there’s something wrong about kicking off the title race at Pipe. No world title scenarios, no qualification predictions, no season-long pressure, no form to look at. Nothing. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not complaining. It’s a banger of a way to start the year, and … Read more
