Currently more questions than answers.
Surfers have long been arbiters of fresh new slang. Hang ten, rip curl, kook, hand jam, the list goes on and on and on and on and our kind has gotten used to being chill and cool and unintelligible to outsiders but code talking diggish* words to each other.
Or at least we used to be.
Sometime within the last few years the TikketyTokkety took over and now in-the-know youth are no longer dropping wave jargon but rather unintelligible gibberish like SMH and sus and other such nonsense. The word currently trending? “Rizz.”
Coined by YouTuber Kai Cenet, it roughly translates to “One’s ability to seduce a potential (usually female) love interest.” Or, per Urban Dictionary, “Another word for spitting game/how good you are with pulling and sustaining bitches.”
Surf fans, thus, have been attempting to apply to our favorite professionals.
Which Championship Tour surfer has rizz?
Like, if you were at a bar with any of the top 44, who would “spit game” the very best?
Gabriel Medina?
Kanoa Igarashi?
Matthew McGillivray?
Nat Young, Kolohe Andino, Jackson Baker?
Mark Richards?

Talk about unintelligible gibberish Beach Grit has it mastered
Kanoa Toyota – what girl can’t resist a gold chain!

Tyler Wright
No way. Mikey “The Fuckin Mongrel” Wright blows all challengers out of the water.
Id rekon Laura has been rizzed on the most.
Carizza Moore?
I’d say the other Baker, Leo.
(Edit: My bad. That is a skater)
Beach Rizz Ultra-Hard to understandy
Caio Ibelli. Our fan fav… middlingly tolerated, bald midget ended up pulling Alessa Quizon once upon a time somehow. Leonardo Fioravanti, some would be surprised, has zero game, a sad result of being limited in speech to four phases…
“Ohho no!”
“Okie dokey!”
“Here we go!”
“Mario number one!”
Rizz power rankings please.
Rizz power rankings of the BG commenting community would be more revealing/devastating. I’m positive there are straight girls and/or gay dudes amongst us who could help? I’d put $5 on reading that. I’d humbly suggest Dirty Dirty DR would do a sultry womb-dusting of a job at writing it. If not him, then Warshaw. Or someone of the female contributors. Looking at you, JenSea.
I think wiggs has everyone beat. I think he’s got all the pro’s beat also. Had to use google to look up the things he’s done. Not recommended right after eating lunch.
