Did your Quiksilver Pro wildcard pick the wrong girl?
It don’t pay to be first, you know. To be a groundbreaker. Look at John Brown. He tried to start an armed insurrection getting slavery banned in the United States in the 1850s only to be hung. Or Susan B. Anthony. She wanted American women to be able to vote but died before ever seeing one cast. Or BeachGrit.
Remember a month ago when we broke Mikey Wright as the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast wildcard? You probably don’t, because the story went unloved. A few shares, a few comments and that is all.
Well such is life, I suppose.
But at least we got a potential Blood Feud out of it! Stab (2004-2016) conducted a posthumous interview with young Mikey on the eve of his first Championship Tour heat, asking the standard questions including the grammatically confusing:
What are you most looking forward to with at the Quiksilver Pro?
Mikey’s answer? A very clear:
Easy… Getting to do a post-heat interview with Rosy Hodge!
And whoa doggy! Hold on right there!
You may not know this but one Rosy Hodge is dating Electric sunglasses marketing don, and very handsome, Ian Foulke! He wears a full beard and has expressive hands. They are very serious, by all accounts, and do you think Ian is sitting at his desk in San Clemente right now, staring at pictures of young Mikey Wright, steam coming out of ears? Does he have Mikey’s pictured taped to the wall of his cubicle and is he doing push-ups a la Robert De Niro in Cape Fear?
Is he driving, furiously, to Orange County’s John Wayne airport, trying to book the very next flight to Coolangatta International?
Will it be a blood feud?
Only time will tell. And hopefully BeachGrit will be around to bring it to you, neither hung nor dead.
Just saw that the interview closed with Mikey mentioning that he’ll be cruising around the event in a black Valliant with a ‘Stay High!” sticker. Ian Foulke has absolutely nothing on this chiseled man-boy… I’d be worried
I don’t know what a bogan is, but I think Mikey is one.
Ian Foulke? i had a hard time giving a fuck about Danny Clayton.
“Max Cady” was doing pull ups!
and lost a pound for every year of his sentence.
Mikey, I think you’d better get used to being interviewed by Peter Mel.
Mikey could be the geico caveman’s mulleted brother, theres no chance.
Whoa, slow down there big boy. Caveman? That’s increasing chance right there.
I love it when you talk about STAB posthumously. Tell your brother Jed and his buddy Morgan that the jig is up.
I can’t get a hold of them. They are too busy spending Sam’s $10,000,000.00.
That ought to be enough for them to move out of their parents houses for a few months before they get hustled and duped into selling advertising to the likes of Sanuk or Byrd hair products. Oh wait….I have an update. STAB is too afraid to allow comments on Carissa’s surfing (which is great by the way). Perhaps they wish to provide the misogyny to counterweight the Inertia’s racism.
Hahahahahaha
It’s like Surfing’s version of the bad (of course!) Tom Cruise film Minority Report! Chas is the Precognitive, albeit with a much fuller head of hair, but similarly soaked in brine.
