There's colour behind the plastic walls of those WCT VIP enclosures!
As I’ve become fond of saying, and do so tenaciously, an event isn’t complete until Peter King has dropped his episode of #TourNotes. Two days ago, John John Florence won the first event of the Triple Crown, the Hawaiian Pro, the first step in becoming the only surfer in history to win an Eddie, a world title and a Triple Crown in the one year.
It‘s a record that will never be touched if the Aikaus and Quiksilver don’t hitch their deal, soon…
Anyway, in this four-minute short, we’re gifted with Kelly Slater explaining the abundance of frontside laybacks, the commentator Kaipo Guerrero looses his tongue from its normally so sensible mooring, Brett Simpson and Miguel Pupo drop their usual one-liners, the former pro surfer Doug Silva is thrown under a bus by the very cruel Fred Pattachia and Ross Williams (remember: glass houses, boys) and there’s plenty of fooling around by Peter Mel and some photogenic children.
“It isn’t the heats. I wanna show the fun. I want to show the silly little conversations,” says PK.

So my great aunt now loves tour notes at quinceañeras parties?
Those jerseys are selling so fast! How will they keep up with demand? Tune in for the next riveting #tournotes for the answer.
If I type in “loosing” on Google I bet the top three hits will be different BeachGrit articles. Are you trying to fuck with me, Derek?
Oh, Wiggs, I do it only for you!
