It's a bracing parable of racial politics and white imperialism!
A surf contest, but only just.
One week ago, North Shore locals ran their annual Rocky Point Classic, a shoot-out style event where each surfer drops twenty-dollars into a pool for a total of one thousand dollars prizemoney.
The contest is a bracing parable of racial politics and betrayal, of white imperialism!
Can you imagine the thrill of hustling good four-foot Rockies, a gift from your imperialist forefathers, and this demographically diverse pack swings down the trail? As it turns out, the Rocky Point Classic is a good-natured contest where even surfers with modest abilities are celebrated.
It ain’t the Pipe Masters. But what is?
