A gift that kept giving!
It says on the World Surf League’s website that John John Florence has won $389,500.00 so far on his championship run. And what do you think has he has purchased? Maybe a single family home in Tulare, California just a short drive away from Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch? Maybe a bottle of Chateau Margaux from Thomas Jefferson’s personal stash?
Do you think he wishes he won packs of cigarettes instead of money? That is what Australia’s Daily Telegraph reveals that the country’s first women’s champ won! Packs of Craven A’s! The champ, Phyllis O’Donnell is 79 now but not bitter about her unhealthy gift.
“I used to smoke so I didn’t mind so much. But I gave that up 30 years ago now…” she tells the paper.
Do you think the World Surf League will draw inspiration from the past and award future champs cartons of Camel Blues once Samsung officially implodes and the Ziffs get bored?
Or do you think they will award Camel Crushes instead?
By way Chas Rory Derek – we got months of value in this gem

Sorry – without reading link – that Kelly vowing to go for world title in 2017
What about at each event the pros just get given a Jeep that they are enforced thru sponsorship to drive – they will break down and you will never see any pro at your local break!!
How about that Jeep ad, “you have to commit” – then the disclaimer – Do not drive this piece of shit through a puddle, never mind a fucking river! Or did I read it wrong? Speaking of ads, have they not figured out that by insisting that the ads stream in HD that they don’t play on many devices. Living out in the sticks I almost never get to see all the ads, but if living out in the sticks is the price to pay for never hearing Nathan Florence say “but never in the house!” – it’s a price worth paying!
If the fuckers offered joints maybe Dane would still be on tour!
MP would have extended his career too.
Good old M.P. – asking for the first prize – a colour TV (if memory serves me right) before he surfed a heat so he could watch his favourite show – “a country practice!”. Unbelievably the cunts that ran the competition wouldn’t agree to his reasonable request and he had to watch his favourite shite ozzy soap in black and white! Of course he won the contest and the tv, but alas it was too late! (Note: I am embellishing Sean Dohertys book here a little! – Don’t believe everything you read on the old internet! I’d do a hash tag but I am too fucking stupid to get the point of Twitter!
If only half of the MP stories are true, still amazing. What was it, he had 20 odd cop cars chasing him from the Goldie to Brisbane? Police had to shut down the Story Bridge to stop him in the end
How about that story about him being convinced he was being watched so he painted one side of his car red, the other side green so ‘they’ wouldn’t be able to keep him under surveillance! I’m wondering if Nick Dee is driving around in a similar vehicle!
Or the story he wore wigs while driving to trick the Qld pigs? Can you imagine MP on the WSL tour 2016? That’d be a breath of fresh (green) air!
Friends of mine used to occasion ly go to the old Boggo Rd. jail with a “Free MP” banner.
