The venerable European title smashed by British tabloid!
Surf Europe is the best unvisited website in all of surfing. The writing is sharp, the humor crackles. The team, lead by almost too wonderful Paul Evans, spins daily gold. I would imagine if they didn’t have to cover Joan Duru and Marlon Lipke regularly that it would be the most popular website in all of surfing instead of its best unvisited.
But maybe, just maybe, the recognition it has long deserved is just around the corner? Britain’s largest tabloid The Sun just posted:
BUM NOTE Surf Europe slammed for offering female customers a free holiday – if they send in pictures of their bottoms
A COMPANY has been slammed after it offered female customers a free holiday – but only if they send in pictures of their bottoms.
Surf Europe put the advert on Facebook with the caption: “Good story, your favourite Russian surf camp in Sri Lanka, is running a comp to win a free trip there, by uploading your backside. Good luck.”
A number of people have voiced their concerns about the advert on Facebook.
Dominque Kent wrote: “Not cool at all, thought we had moved forward, very sexist, I’m ashamed of you Surf Europe.”
Allessandra Paccamiccio added: “Surf Europe, this is the moment I unsubscribe from your page. Give people surf news, not stupid, sexist, immature junk.”
Jess Niemann stated it was a “whole new level of gross”.
That’s the entire story and bravo Surf Europe. That’s the big time! I couldn’t find the post on Facebook but I trust it is there somewhere between Eric Rebiere stories and Tiago Pires photo features.

Genius shitstorm creation ploy! I too think that Paul Evans is a wizard.
The Sun had topless women in it every damn day for years. Maybe they are just pissed off because they had stop and figured if they couldn’t have fun then no one else should.
Who could forget the infamous Falkland war era “Gotcha!” headline?
