Are you ready for a dance hall remix of WSL CEO Paul Speaker's most banging quotes?
When ever I get a little down I just Google WSL CEO Paul Speaker then click on his Bloomberg interview and read and suddenly my frown turns upside down!
The co-owner of professional surfing says many transformative things and I’ve shared some before but since he is too big a pansy to talk with me in person I feel like sharing some again but like a remix. Like I’m a fantastic DJ. Like we are all in an Ibiza dance hall. Ready?
Drop the beat Paul Speaker!
“I was an economics major. I loved the people but could not wait to go make money.”
“I worked on Super Mario Bros. for 18 months. It was a game changer for me.”
“I saw that the surf tour needed help, so I flew to Australia to meet with the board of the Association of Surfing Professionals. It was almost a year of negotiation.”
“I was an economics major. I loved the people but could not wait to go make money.”

Since you brought up Mr. Speaker. What do you think Paul Speaker, Terry Harder and the WSl boys are taking ‘off the top’ of the 30 million a year– from Dirk and Natasha Ziff? Do you know when the 3 years are up?–that Dirk and Natasha committed to–to fund the WSL? (It’s been at least 2 years already–I think). Will Dirk and Natasha pop another 90 million for another 3 years–or maybe pop another 30 million for the 4th year? Or is Paul Speaker making a profit yet–and can dump the Ziffs? Inquiring minds want to know……
what a dork!
whats going on man? the surf are managed by non surfers! The only support i gave to surfing is to my shaper, fuck off the rest
O’doyle Rules!
The execution and construction here was flawless Chas. Best quote by far, “since he is too “big a pansy to talk with me in person”
Sincerely,
Ken
Head of the Beach Grit Float and Prom committees.
Was this article inceptioned?
The real tragedy of all this is learning Nintendo let Paul go for trying to revamp Super Mario as, ‘Damsel in distress: saved by Italian stereotype’. The new name was easier to understand, really served the fans and would have grown the game.
What what in the butt!
He’s that bad at platforming video games? While difficult, Super Mario Bro’s can easily be mastered in less than four months. Donkey Kong Country must have taken him at least 25 months, based on his aforementioned gaming skills.

Best movie ever…Lambda Lamda Lamda!
You ever get to the bottom of that Chaz Michael Michael Michael Michael scandal?
Hahaha naw, I get my conspiracy theory fill watching “Ancient Aliens” on the History Channel. But, imagine…”What if Chazz Michael Michaels was in fact the alter ego of the boring J.P. Currie of the Inertia? Beach Grit theorists say yes…”

My ex looks like she’s doing well.
By the way from the WSL press release at the World Juniors today:
Location: Kiama, NSW, Australia
Event:World Junior Championship
Conditions:Shifty 1-2 Foot
for a moment there I thought they’d written “shitty”
Is there truly nothing he can’t do
According to Speaker, there’s only one thing he can’t do.
“I can’t be stopped”
Jesus christ imagine actually saying that in public.
to quote CEO Paul Speaker, “Our strategy has been, since the beginning, let’s remove all stop signs and turn them into welcome mats.” – excerpt from Chas Smith BG article dated approximately 2 years ago.
Hell, I’ve never met a welcome mat I didn’t want to wipe my feet on.
make money for the WSL? maybe he is making the money for himself …Audit , audit
I like this quote of Speaker:
“My favorite surfer is the Miami Dolphins”
