BEACHBREAK BOOGIE /// FINAL RESULTS

Well that’s a wrap! Our 3 month free online hashtag based beachbreak contest is officially over and the winner’s names are forever engrained in the folklore stories of ages to come. It was an interesting 3 month experiment that showcased some exceptional surfing on some not so exceptional waves. That was kinda the point to even out the playing field and let the surfing do the talking or in this case the boogie. Early mainland surf culture was founded upon the sands of shit beachbreak and as keepers of the flame, it’s important we honor this tradition of short break “hotdogging”.

With over 250 entries coming in, many last minute, the judges definitely had their work cut our for them. To ensure the validity of our final outcomes we tapped some of the best loggers in the game to make calls on their own. Judges for this event included Matty Chojnacki, Erin Ashley, Dane Peterson, Hallie Rohr, and Justin Quintal. Hard to dispute this crew of waveriders and their point of view. Surfers were judged on various elements including fluidity, style, wave selection, criticality, and overall boogie.

Big thanks to the judges for their efforts. Also much appreciation to this year’s inner contest sponsors including Cayucos Hot Sauce, the Hotdogger Championships, and Bodega Boarder Crew. This contest is also made possible from the encouragement of Joel Tudor and support of Vans Surf.

BEACHBREAK BOOGIE /// EAST VS WEST

From the creators of 1WV1FN, comes another fresh approach to the single fin log-riding contest that continues to widen the playing field and offer up a modest pay day while doing so. A contest with no travel costs, no entry fees, no heats, no false claims, no tri-fins  and no limited invites. Open to all men and women riding logs and forwarding the movement in their own way.

Numbers taken from top 6 waves in both men/women will determine an overall “coast” winner. Winning coast will retain all bragging rights for one year and we’ll probably so something else cool as well.

The Electric Acid Surfboard Test

Well one of the guys at Stab is kind of a kook for claiming things and then backing out but regardles this video Stab made with Dane Reynolds is pretty sick. interesting to see what boards work under one of the best surfers on earth and which boards just don’t. Won’t claim any names since we haven’t yet.


 

Now Available | Get it Here: http://geni.us/ElectricAcid The Electric Acid Surfboard Test is an exploration of alternative surfboard design, and a radical and open-minded addition to Stab Magazine's blind taste test of the world's best surfboards, Stab In The Dark.Featuring the world's most talented and high profile surfers riding the most iconic, left-field, under-appreciated, and disruptive designs of the Alternative Age, The Electric Acid Surfboard Test is an acid-splash hit to the tongue of the surfboard status quo.

1FN1WV17 Winner's Recap

Surfing was a nomadic pass time that morphed into creative art on water. Self-expression and mind exploration possible through riding waves on a piece of wood, foam or anything that floats. Modern day surf culture, with the aid of technology has become a corporate beast. Inspiration and true originality has been sucked out of the art… thankfully, the underground still exists.

The ethos behind 1WV1FN could be best summed up by Dane Peterson: 'Surf like nobody's watching.In today's social media world, instant fame can happen at the click of a button. With that in mind we went about carefully analyzing each eligible entry, looking for fun, frivolous and non-contrived surfing.

Levi Prairie (@leviprairie) was the pick, although not technically perfect, he shelved innovation and brought inspiration to the table! All of Levi’s entries garnered attention from the judges, for better or worse it got us all talking but it was his 2nd entry that we decided to credit as his best. A quick fade, goose step to the nose and set position in the pocket for an 'Egyptian' style noseride followed by some fun hot doggin' not often seen in logging since early 1960s... how refreshing. In complete contrast, runner up Mick Rodgers displayed technical finesse and innovation while focusing on the classic noseride.

The classy lady loggers once again displayed a beautiful variety of entries from around the world including Australia, Hawaii, United States, Mexico and Europe. There were some extremely hot surfing from many of the already well-known personalities but it was Hallie Rohr who best embodied the spirit of the 1WV1FN movement. Surfing free and easy at her local spot with a giant smile, linking noserides with excellent positioning, appropriate switch feet manoeuvres and smooth from start to finish… it was a beautifully ridden wave.

In the end there were many great entries demonstrating a repertoire of traditional surfing elements on a variety of waves - point, beach and reef breaks. The judges noted both technical and stylish surfing more so than length of ride, which should be encouraging to many surfers faced with average conditions, but in the end there were a handful of waves that stood out.

By harnessing social media, we’ve had  a great display of fine logging so easily accessible through the Instagram 'hashtag'. This year’s contest proved to be a large success thanks to the logging community's participation and the support of Weedmaps. As promised this year’s winners will receive $1k in prize money and an invite to a future Joel Tudor DTI of their choosing. Big thanks to all that entered waves and shot video. We look forward to picking again sometime next year!
