Laird Hamilton and Kelly Slater agree! To soar your wings must be stitched from the gossamer of conspiracy!
And Laird-Gate has broken wide open. U.S. congresswoman Maxine Waters condemned the world’s most famous surfer today for suggesting that sharks single out women in the lineup and The Huffington Post is still as angry as their stepchild Zach Weisberg is with me. That Dead Whale at Trestles, a favorite BeachGrit commentator, smartly brought Kelly Slater, the world’s other most famous surfer, into the conversation, writing:
The Huffington Post piled on. “Turns out being one of the most admired surfers in the world doesn’t make you immune from promoting bad ― and blatantly false ― science.”
Kelly Slater’s immune system reigns on.
Except does it?
Robert Kelly Slater regularly promotes the widely debunked Chem Trail conspiracy along with the disputed notion that chia seeds are better to eat than spread onto ceramic statue heads.
Which makes me wonder. To be widely accepted by the entire non-surfing population as amazing and cool and admired does a surfer have to have a pocketful of bad – and blatantly false – science?
It seems that the answer is a definitive yes.
And we all want John John Florence to reach Huffington Post levels of fame don’t we? So what conspiracy should he promote?
Should he:
a) Claim that Jay-Z and Beyoncé are part of the global Illuminati.
b) Push that Zionists were the masterminds behind 9/11.
c) Believe that the moon landing was faked.
d) Say that JFK was killed by the CIA.
e) Promote the idea of a Deep State.
f) Tell anyone who will listen that Barack Obama is a non-U.S. citizen Muslim.
g) other
Let’s make John John Huffington Post famous together!
