"There's no place I'd rather be than competing," says Kolohe.
On an anything-but-lazy Sunday afternoon at the very apex of a hot Sydney summer, San Clemente’s Kolohe Andino showed magnificent form to beat the Tahitian Mateai Hiquily.
Kolohe is just one month short of his 21st birthday, an event that is still an occasion in the USA (champagne rooms!), and he rapped on the door every heat with authority. This included a fearless tackle with the star of Cluster, Jack Freestone, a heat that was referred to as a “fiery meeting and in the old style.”
And in the final this afternoon, he began with a near-perfect 9.73 opening wave. For Kolohe, such scores are now as easy as an actor strolling onto the stage, loosening his tie and removing his jacket.
Mateai surfed as if he had a 12-foot long blade upon which he’d lance his competitors. He beat Mick Fanning twice (in rounds two and five), as well as Newcastle’s Ryan Callinan, another star of Cluster, in their semi-final.
“This is the best week and the best day of my life,” said Hiquily.
Kolohe is a surfer with a strong sense of the future. “There’s no other place I’d rather be than competing,” he said.
(In the gals, the winner Laura Enever surfed with urbane reassurance. This is most attractive.)
I’m pretty sure that a 20 year old sending texts to a 17 year old is a fuck lot more appropriate than a 28 year old doing ANYTHING with a 17 year old. Jesus Christ people, that’s just fucking disgusting, especially when Zoe Cross doesn’t look a day older than 15. At least Kolohe and Zoe are close enough in age that they could have attended high school together, and thus appropriately dated, when Danny-boy turned 18 his girl was the ripe old age of 7 fuck years old. SEVEN.
Awful.
tell me again what movie was Jack Freestone and Ryan Callinan in, I think I missed it?
Oh Chop Chop, I guzzled that Cluster juice and I can’t stop thinking about it!
no talk of the “stay the fuck away from my girlfriend?” Beachgrit you are SO predictable.
Chubby Channel V DJ publicly announces he’s a cuckold to his 17-year-old girlfriend? It’s too sick, even for me…
Thank fuck somebody said it.
Well that’s one way to put it. The other way is that the apple of your eye is down with sexual harassing teenagers and you are cool with it.
I am looking forward to your review of the “stay the fuck away from my girlfriend” incident. Who is on this one? Chas?
Ain’t much of a story. Wanna-be cuckold who is obviously a paranoid phone checker, a very teenage girlfriend and a few G-rated texts.
But he did it in his best breakfast radio voice.
