The WSL is electing your voice! Choose wisely!
Being grouchy really brands a man as old and irrelevant, know what I’m saying? Or brands a man Gen-X which is pretty much the same thing. The kids aren’t grouchy. They are filled with hope and passion even though their entire world is ending in a hail of North Korean missiles and rising sea levels. Just kidding. Kim Jong Un will never really succeed and global warming is a lie. Know what I’m saying?
But how did we get so far away from Stoke and Leisure? Your World Surf league Ambassador of Stoke and Leisure finalists are in and YOU get to decide! Should we meet them?
YES WE SHOULD!
1) Jason who says, “I’m the biggest gas station around. I use practices such as yoga, meditation, earthing, surfing and skating to fill my energy tank – not other people.
2) Linda who says, “I’m stoked about surfing, coconuts, shells, people, stray dogs, mangos, sand between my toes, sunlight, sand in my wetsuit, bonfires, sand in my bed, moonshine, acoustic guitars, flashmobs, sand in my bikini…”
3) Mariana who says, “I’ve been working and traveling for a long time and I absolutely LOVED it.”
4) Sara who says, “eat as much coconut as i can and .. why not? share one with John John Florence!”
5) Scott who says, “I have those cahoonas and I’m ready for this challenge if given the opportunity.”
6) Adam who says, “Everything I have done, seen, and accomplished this far in my life has led me to this point.”
7) Zach who says, “Whether I get the position or not, I’m way too obsessed with filmmaking, photography, travel, surf, and the world of adventure to ever give up the dream.”
8) Pat who says, ” I’ve been told my spirit animal is a yellow labrador.”
Soooooooooooooooo? Who you feeling? Don’t be lazy. Vote today!
And it may totally read like I’m being ironic but I am not. Irony is cheap. Grouchy is out. Let’s embrace hope!
I vote to boycott the WSL. Holy fuck, that was brutal.
A certain Sunset Beach Hawaii resident should be the ambassador. He could talk about how great it is to have a 5 star contest in virginia beach and how the WSL is a bunch of blood suckers and it’s all about money and stars. (which it is)
Sometimes a simple statement just cuts to the heart of an issue
Since when has 24 hours between posts become de rigueur on this site ? Who died? And if no one, pick up the pace a bit… fuck, it’s like waiting for a board from Rich Pavel
Except the billboard would get stolen in Logan and you’d just end up with “The World of Adventure” in some junkie share house
It’s so lazy to imply that all Logan people are thieving, unemployed , no hope, heroin users. Some of them use crack and meth too you know.
Feck me I’d love to issue Fast Eddie a license to clean up the Noosa lineup
He’d get straight worn out bitch slapping all the keel surfing, bamboo hypto krypto hipsters
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday do you in? I saw a SUP nosedive and take out about three innocents at First Point live on a webcam. It was glorious.
Most surfers think the Superbank is the worst for etiquette. Take a ‘swell event’, add Sunshine Coast Daily front page news alerting all kooks, sit back. I’ve seen funny clown shit that just makes me laugh out loud
These people are the reason I hate the wsl.. Surf spastics that probably can’t really surf
I vote Adam. That logic can’t be denied.
Give it a rest!? How dare you mullet, how dare you.
Anyone claiming a spirit animal can (fill in blank with hypothetical self-harm).
I’m sure they’re already filling in those blank days with actual self harm.
Haha I love those guys but you’re right, they bang that drum every time!
I like Zach, he’s from Tennessee, probably has a nascent painkiller habit and this: “I’m way too obsessed with filmmaking, photography, travel, surf, and the world of adventure to ever give up the dream”…..reminds me of Mike C before his girlfriend quashed his dreams.
So I vote Zach.
Chas’ rollerblading barista a close second.
They should all win. And be left on a small, desolate island off the coast of Hawaii. It’ll be just like survivor. Except there is no film crew and they can’t get any service so they can’t use their social media. There is also no food.
Yeah but I think there’s a semi-secret break on the far side of Bird Island… they could surf that, eat seabirds vana and opihi and emerge as hardened, swivel-eyed watermen (and women). They would paddle back all the way to round to Pipe and take over without a drop of blood shed.
Film THAT muthfucka.
You had me at “swivel-eyed”.
I am going to go find that chick if she wins.
Not creepy at all!
But just to give her help with her resume, so all good, no worries
But if she wins, won’t her resumé skills be good already?
What’s the average lifespan of a WSL intern?
Germany, Tennessee? Holy shit you don’t even need to live next to an ocean to get in on this.
but… germany does have a coastline?
That’s relatively small and very protected. I’ll rephrase too, “you don’t need a place with real surf”. Which one could argue that’s California anyways I suppose.
It’s probably quite helpful if you don’t. You know, relating to the WSL target audience and all.
If anyone can confirm that Pat McDonough is openly gay he has my vote.
He quite clearly says in his video that he wants to get inside John John.
Pretty sure I banged him at Burning Man. He was wearing roller blades and a flourescent fanny pack. Not 100% sure however, the drugs took over; again.
You’re confusing him with Neil Patrick Harris.
Anyone worth watching wouldn’t have filmed themselves on a gopro and therefore been WSL excluded from the competition immediately. Goodluck to the finalists trying not to drown over there.
That German chick is smokin hot so she has my vote. I don’t really know what she said and I didn’t watch any dudes videos.
I like her too.
The German the type to drop in on two people, exclaiming afterwards:
“wow, there were 3 people on that wave!”
Stoked – got my vote
We do love to share 😀
Ahhh, shouldn’t they just focus on getting us stoked with their judging?
