- Harrison Roach discusses the subjective nature of surfing, why he started competing on the WSL pro longboard tour, and the role contests have in longboard and surf culture.
I think Harrison was throwing some serious shade at Tyler Jensen during the full interview hahaha. First by talking about hp guys that complain and only get by in the new format because they’re talented enough. I think he said they should just quit. Secondly by knocking on the Huntington Beach contest TJ won. Joel Tudor must’ve been royally PISSED that in his suspension he had to give the Duct Tape to the WSL for the HB contest, and TJ ended up winning. You could tell when TJ won his giddyness was meant as a major FU to all the traditional heads.
I myself am neutral on the sides. Being in Hawaii for a few years now (where it’s more accepted) I’ve grown to accept hp logging. Drama’s good for the spectacle of competition. WSL should lean into this narrative more and leave the feel good vibes for the other log fests.
