Your professional surf experience just got 10x better!
Is there something missing from our World Surf League? Something… missing? There’s lots of professional surfers and a wonderful announcing team. There isn’t Rosy Hodge but her spirit infuses dear Kaipo. There’s tons and tons and tons of heats. There isn’t ex-WSL CEO Paul Speaker who’s gone to the big Brooks Sample Sale in the sky but his spirit infuses the new wooden coffee table.
But there is… something… missing.
Wait! I know! A mascot! The World Surf League needs a lovable, cuddly mascot that makes us giggle and feel warm. A snuggly mascot who makes our hearts smile.
I don’t even have to ask and the World Surf League already giveth.
And introducing… Shredosaurus! A lovable, cuddly, snuggly inflatable dinosaur that dances and surfs!
That’s right!
Shredosaurus was unveiled yesterday on Facebook Live as the World Surf League tried to drum up enough votes to win a Webby in the “sports app” category. The Webbies are the Academy Awards of the Internet and the WSL is up against the NFL, the Miami Heat basketball team and ESPN. And apparently they were near last place but Shredosaurus promised to SURF if they won the votes.
The fans went CRAZY totally laughing n stuff. It was GREAT!
I can only assume Shredosaurus is on an airplane right now to Bells Beach and that’s why the contest hasn’t started yet.
Who needs John John when you have love?
Vote here and help make Shredosaurus and its World Surf League famous!
I actually saw someone in the wild wearing a WSL jersey [Slater “11”]. Really shiny. The guy had a well groomed ‘imperial’ under lip moustache set up. Stylish dude.
Surfasaurus is in 4th place right now, btw.
But more importantly Brian Anderson’s Vice doc is winning it’s category. https://vote.webbyawards.co…
Oh yeah what? Rosy is fully out?
Fuck.
No, she’ll be back forFiji
Bring back GT!
Hopefully that will happen only when Gortex puffer jackets are required in Hell.
in someway the dinosaur might actually represent kelly’s surfing. maybe the wsl does have a sense of humor.
Paul Speaker wanted the WSL to take itself as serious as the NFL. This one’s for Paul.
Michelob Ultra and now Shredasaurus? As if we needed any way to further convince us we’re trapped in the longest, horriblest April Fools joke ever.
