User Reviews

Users generally like that the app keeps them updated on surfers and events, but report repeated issues with ads, a broken fantasy UI, unstable playback, and downgrades after recent updates. The fantasy redesign is the most cited pain point, followed by ad-driven interruptions and streaming faults. Some positive notes exist about upgrades, but overall feedback centers on usability, reliability, and access problems, with many calling for a return to previous versions or targeted fixes.
Pros
  • Keeps users up to date on surfers, events, and tour happenings.
  • Some users enjoy the app and say it increases engagement with the sport.
  • Some users positively note app upgrades.
Cons
  • Ad overload and loops disrupt streams; ads often cause playback to stall or go to black screen.
  • Fantasy section UI is confusing, cluttered, and not intuitive; requires many clicks and resets when idle.
  • Stream/Playback reliability is poor: black screens after ads, videos fail to load, streams drop mid-heat.
  • Recent updates (2025–2026) are seen as a downgrade, making the app worse and less organized.
  • Login/access and regional viewing issues (e.g., finals not viewable in the US; sign-in issues, re-login losses).

Would it kill the WSL to do daily forecasts of the current swell for the CT and upcoming CT events???

While doing normal playback in full screen, you can’t go back to watching it in full screen after the second ad break for the most part without reloading the live view and watching the same 2 ads again, and again. This has to be a sales point to their advertising sponsors - “we’ll make sure our fans accidentally watch your ad 10 more times by forcing a live watch reboot.” Hard to remain a competition day fan/viewer when WSL takes advantage or just doesn’t give a rip about the playback experience. I’d pay $10/yr for an ad-free experience as a single user. I don’t drink; so, 50% of your ads are really not hitting me.

The only thing I can’t stand is the lack of an option to play the contest from the beginning like on YouTube. When the finals start and we are forced to watch on the app and happen to be in a different time zone or get a late start, we are hosed as we can’t start from the beginning. That makes it trash
