Since the WSL doesn't pay, announcers "fish" for money elsewhere.
Remember Todd Kline? Of course you do. WQS surfer/Kelly Slater caddy who parlayed into a career as ASP/WSL sideline reporter?
Remember this?
I didn’t see Todd on the beach in Snapper. He seemed to be replaced by a much better Chelsea Cannell but maybe he’ll come back. Who’s to say? The WSL stopped letting me inside their meetings once Brodie Carr left.
In any case, did you know Todd Kline is also a pro bass fisherman? Here is his website (totally worth a visit). He was back to back Angler of the Year in 2013 and 2014, sponsored by Skeeter Boats, Yamaha, Okuma, Under Armour, Sun Country Marine, Savage Gear, Robo Worm and The Winning Team. I wish I was sponsored by The Winning Team.
He fishes professionally in Lake Havasu, the California Delta, Clear Lake and the Ohio River and likes it because it makes him feel like he’s 5 years old.
If you could be a professional in something what would it be? If you could feel any age forever would it be 5?
Sigh… any age must be better than my 41 years on this earth.
I was “researching” depression in males and apparently men are the most unhappiest between the ages of 40 and 42. So fuck it, let him feel like a 5 year old…
My fifth year was haunted by vampires at my bedroom window, old men with uncomfortable laps and the prophecies of Nostradamus. Forty one is so serene!
Forty one is where one must appear to be serene. Inside I just wanna raise my middle finger say “fuck you my-mannnn” to the world and just go surfing all day.
Unfortunately I cant as I have to get the dishes done before my partner gets home.
And those polished floorboards won’t clean ’emselves either…
Fuck I am 41 in one weeks time and Negatron is telling me it gets worse than 40.
If I could feel any age forever it would be 23. I think 23 is just about the most perfect age, and you can still nail 19 and 20 year olds and not be “that guy” in your group of friends when you’re nailing 19 and 20 year olds and you’re in your 30’s.
Being “that guy” is so bad unless “that guy” in Matthew McConaughey and then all is forgiven.
…or you live in Bondi where there are no age or cultural restraints placed upon the older man…
Clearly we all must move there with our 19 year old concubines and live happily ever after.
…oh you should. It’s an earthly paradise!
Isn’t that where Patrick Swayze was trying to get when that damned Neo had to get involved? And then the draft dodger from Big Wednesday got killed.
It was Bells – the Temple of Big Wave Surfing that it is. Wait, why are all my posts related somehow to Keanu Reeves?
They aren’t all, once you gave me an achingly wonderful compliment that had nothing to do with keanu
I have two “that guys” in my core group of friends. One has recently decided he’s a raver king and now hangs out with nothing but 18-20 year old EDM fans, his currently girlfriend graduated high school in 2014, we were born in ’84, whom he supplies with blow and x, and the other is just “that guy” who consistently dates 19-21 year old women.
Conversations with 18 year old’s on drugs… Your friend deserves a medal.
Oh, and Matthew McConaissance is forgiven any and all transgressions, alright, alright, alright
