Stand-up foilboarding has been gaining in popularity over the past few years, and for good reason. There's something special about near-magically floating above the water while your fellow surfers wallow about.

Surfing a regular board at a crowded beach often involves close calls (depending on how good people are at duck-diving), but using a foilboard is far more risky. Maybe save it for a less-crowded day at the break.

Like the trash can. We don’t need dolphins and seabirds dealing with more of our human problems because of your laziness.

Another one bites the dust. As a direct result of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the World Surf League has decided to cancel the remainder of the 2020 season. Not that it actually ever got started, since not a single Championship Tour event has taken place this year. That means there will be no 2020 World Champion, but lucky for surfing fans, the 2021 women’s season kicks off this November in Maui, and in December on the North Shore for men.
