An Italian the wipeout, a lesbian the barrel and Greg Noll, 80, talks eating pussy!
How about those WSL big-wave awards? Such gender and such geographical balance. Did the WSL run the nominees through an equal-opportunity board to choose the winners?
Let’s examine!
An Italian won the wipeout of the year, a lesbian scooped up the barrel of the year, and an almost 80-year-old big-waver delivered what at first was some feel-bad story about a pal with cancer only to deliver the punchline that the tumour was actually a hairball from eating too much pussy.
Of course, the ride of the year is the money shot. Winner? Shane Dorian.
Earlier, Dorian had given a teary speech about his mentor and former housemate Brock Little.
Told a bewitching story of living with Brock, of him and his teen pals surfing the inside reforms on the big days, until Brock paddled ’em out the back at Waimea and told ’em, “It’s your time to sit on the peak and ride big waves.”
Oowee, and look at Shane now!

Are skim/kite-surfers actually worthy of nationalities? I’d just call them bastards anyway…
BTW does anyone still remember those other bastards, the windsurfers? Naaah? Me neither…
Where’s the award ceremony for those who made their waves?
Think its fair to say KK rides deeper than Noll’s friend and eats better too.
greg noll…hero
