Maui's second favorite son (after Laird Hamilton) gets ready to rumble!
Do you love Albee Layer? I do. I think surfing needs a lot more hims. He surfs very big waves well, second to Billy Kemper in that world famous Jaws event just a few months back and small waves very well too. Flips and things! More importantly, maybe though, he has a sense of humor.
Three days ago he posted a picture of Jaws from the cliff with the caption:
80 heroes out there maybe 8 good surfers couple 15 foot waves almost no barrels, in case anyone wanted a report. It’s like watching a girl u love get f**ked by a bunch of animals… (smiley face)
And how good is that? How funny? How perfectly succinct? A few of the 72 heroes did not like. @justindirico wrote, “Oh didn’t know you owned the wave. Fucking tool.” @josh_pcpc_prosser wrote, “Fuck your a tosser.” And @tristan_rucynski wrote, “My name is Albee. I own this space of water. I am bitter always. I am God himself reborn.” But he is not! His name is Tristan Rucynski and he is not very funny!
The support Albee got far outweighed the rage. Kala Alexander, Dingo Morrison, Jojo Roper, Coco Ho, Mark Matthews, etc. etc. all gave many laughs and fist bumping emoticons. And it would seem that Albee won the blood feud so handily that it shouldn’t even be called one. A good blood feud surprises, though, so let’s wait and see if the 72 heroes can regroup and somehow pounce.
What joy!
I find Albee to be a bitter cu nt, but that’s just from reading this post and his prior rant about Honolua.
if it were possible for you to find yourself you might come to a similar conclusion.
Albee stop being lame and just go surf
Can thank the WSL machine for that crowd. God, I hope they never run an event at my windblown, shithouse local.
Why would you watch a girl you love get fucked by a bunch of animals? Dark stuff out of Maui these days.
Ha!
I felt the same way when a bunch of pro Kooks came to my local in snowdonia on a 2ft day…
“tosser”? who even fucken says that?
I do. It’s great. Try it (he says leaving the door irresistibly wide open).
Fuck you ya trosser.
Dammit I messed it up
Even so, he’s still a tosser, most guys paid to surf are… sorry, forgot to add the guys paid to write about surf as well.
Jojo Roper? You were really searching through the bottom of the barrel, huh, Chas?
I love Jojo!
Honest question: is it pronounced “joejoe” or “hoho?”
99% sure he’s the son of Joe Roper in San Diego. So it would be JoJo.
I thought he was South American for some reason.
little fucker could handle a fin job back when we were running glass ons, Linda Vista Posse!
Some of the best boards I’ve ever had were glass on’s.
would Derek Dunfee work?
Sounds like a pretty accurate surf report to me!
