Same rules, same fun, roll a twenty into a thousand bucks, a board and a wetsuit.
Hello losers!
Following an unprecedented early season bloodbath, seventy-eight percent of you gone after three events, the long awaited Surfival “Second Chance” League is here.
What is the Second Chance league?
Same rules, same fun, same Surfival Gods.
Starts at Bells.
Here’s a couple FAQ’s for the first inaugural Second Chance League
Who can sign up?
Anybody can sign up (not just the losers). This includes the slackers, the nerds, the stoners, the heathens, and the pious. All the Surfival God’s ask is one entry per person.
Same Rules?
Oh yeah. Pick one surfer to advance. Can’t pick the same surfer twice. This will be a fresh start (doesn’t matter who you picked in OG Surfival League). Full rules, and there ain’t many, here.
What’s the Prize?
We’re sending $1,000 American dollars, a Ho Stevie! wetsuit and one PANDA surfboard to the winner. Where else are you going to turn twenty bucks into a stack of cash and a fresh stick?
How Do I Sign Up?
Click here. Use your same login, pay and make your pick (do it early, you can always change).
What are people saying about the Surfival League?
As a long-time, and moderately successful, fantasy surfer participant (WSL and Surfermag), I want to say this was more fun. I throughly enjoyed myself. Thanks for providing the format”
“This made watching the WSL way more fun”
“Haven’t watched a second of professional surfing since I was booted from the Surfival League”
Second Chance League memberships are $20.
Sign ups are closing soon.

Surf contest idea (many apologies if this has been floated before by someone else) … has nothing really to do with this article, but given that Friday news / BG articles are generally even more non surf-adjacent than usual just throwing it out there …
went to an opening day baseball game yesterday. MLB has new pitch clock — pitchers have to throw pitch within 15 or 20 seconds (depending on whether someone on base). Kept things moving much more quickly than before.
So one thing we all hate about contests is someone sitting on priority forever without taking a wave. What if they put a “pitch clock” on the priority, such that after maybe 5 mins it switches? I realize given vagaries of sets/swells, etc, this might screw some people. And 5 mins may not be the right number, and the number might change given the surf spot / swell period, etc. but just something to increase the action.
Certainly possible this has been floated a million times elsewhere or even on BG, not claiming any trademark here just popped in my head watching that pitch clock yesterday.
Surfival “Losers” League
Ffs now even the surf tipping competition has a non elimination policy.
Everyone is always a winner!
( unless you already duded in the man’s open division and now being milked for another twenty in the losers division because your obviously stupid/ easy $$)
Fuck off , you bet, you win or lose.
Ffs, Elo must be proud, next you will have a challenger comp you must win to get into the first grade comp?
The only thing shit about the losers league is there’s three less events, so a high likelihood of multiple tippers still in it by the finals, and then you have to russian roulette the final at trestles in order to win the board and $.
wake up!

Just when David Lee Scales had stopped advising his listeners about his picks based from his excel spreadsheet!
jr cost accountant
Leo for me.
Be strategic and don’t pick filipe. He wiped out the field last comp, which means a bunch of us who are still in it, have not used their filipe pick yet and will probably use it now.
Another rd 3 loss by phil should wipe out about 40% of the remaining field.
