“The end goal is to be on the CT tour and make the top 5 in the world.

An experimental 2023 led to poor competitive results but the biggest growth year of his career. And now, for the first time, is he ready to declare himself a World Title Contender.

We can’t think of a surfer that fits that bill better than North Shelly firefighter Justen “Jughead” Allport. For the last 20 years, Jug has put himself in some of the heaviest positions, on some of the heaviest waves in the world. He’s done it with equal measures of raw talent and recklessness while holding down a real job and raising a family. His fearless approach has seen him face some truly dangerous situations. And yet Jug always manages to scrape out of them. Sometimes hurt sure, but somehow alive. We asked Jug to talk through just a few of his closest shaves.

Despite his wife Nina having cooked a homemade shepherd's pie, R-Cal sat down to talk about his year so far, the Olympics and why 2023 has been the best year of his career so far.

Friday 5 May saw sublime conditions at Sunset Reef in Cape Town, South Africa, to usher in the Southern Hemisphere winter. The local big-wave crew would no doubt classify this a "fun" day to clear the cobwebs, but there were a few waves of consequence and even the odd barrel or two.

We caught up recently with both Dakoda and Harley Walters for a little chat. Harl’s was just heading out Snapper rocks, while Kodes was resting his injured ankle he sustained from a crazy corrupt flip in a recent event.
