#1 WHAT THIS IS
The West Chronicle is a monthly comp for anyone living the lifestyle.
Surf. Travel. Chaos. Close calls. Wins. Losses.
If it’s real — we want it.
No polished edits. No fake stories.
Just the kind of stuff you’d tell your mates after a long day.
#2 WHAT YOU GET
EVERY MONTH
Top entries get featured
Community votes decide the winner.
WINNER GETS 6,000 WEST CREDITS ($300)
PLUS 100 WEST CREDITS PER ENTRY (once approved*)
#3 THE RULES
Must be your story
Must be real
Must have proof (photo, video, anything to back it up)
No proof = no entry.
We’re not here for made up stories.
#4 WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Heavy surf moments
Trips that went sideways
Sessions that shouldn’t have worked
Mishaps, chaos, close calls
Anything that feels like real life in the water or on the road
If it’s got a story — send it.
#5 YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A PRO
You just need a story worth telling.
