Stoke-inducing! Action-packed!
And you doubted the World Surf League’s new relationship with Facebook. Be honest. You thought when the WSL went exclusive with Facebook for the just wrapped J-Bay event and it was all glitchy and weird and broken that it was a bad deal.
Well, looks like the joke’s on you, pal, because hello Get Sent!, the latest creation from the team that brought you other hits like The Ambassador of Stoke and Leisure and No Pipeline.
What is Get Sent!? It appears to be a Facebook/Instagram meme show described on the World Surf League’s feed as:
What up people… This is @getsent! The show where @chadgoesdeep and @jtparr14 break into World Surf League’s vault of footage to bring you the most stoke-inducing, action-packed, inspiring and funny moments from the surf world and beyond! Stay tuned for the first episode tomorrow at 8am PT on the Get Sent Facebook page!
Much like Forrest Gump, that is all I have to say about that.

This is the straw that broke the camel’s back.
How long until the big three (or is it 4?) say enough is enough and pull the pin on this shite?
Here’s the inherent weakness of the wsl. They don’t own the events, and they don’t sponsor the surfers. They just own the 50% of the stupid wave pool and some lame broadcast deal that everyone hates.
The world surf league is doomed. Has been for years.
The surf labels will just put together their own tour next year and run it on way less prize money until surfing becomes cool again. They might even run it under the umbrella of ips to give it some authenticity.
The “big 3” pulled the pin years ago – one man owns surfing
Yeah, that one man learnt to ride a SUP a few years ago and on a whim decided to bail out the governing body. Lucky he is a billionaire, or should I say was!Imagine you were the boss of one of the big 3 (who still sponsor 5 of the 11 events I might add). I wouldn’t want to waste my money sponsoring an event run by incompetents. Given the big 4 sponsor what, 80% of the surfers, it wouldn’t be hard to put them on a rebel tour. Wouldn’t be hard at all.

i just puked and ate it back and the after taste was better than this to assholes.
Surfing got hijacked when they took it public for $$$. Now it’s held in the hands of a few super rich all by design.
Along with pretty much everything else!
I’m the surfer whom says ‘disconnect from the current system as much as you can colleges”.
It not serving us…. just more control. This is way we are in and around the sea. FREE Dom.
wOke
GetFucked…
the are also coping the jerry of the day instagram sort of the cook of the day for skiers quote “just send it” they have it on t shirts, sweaters etc… i cant understand how in this world they ( wsl) just go out using other people ideias and get away with it.
These type are parasites. Create Nothing. But slaves.
‘Send It’ – the once occult hype term of the core, now diluted by mainstream normies to nothing more than a cheap platitude uttered in reference to mundane actions like adult kooks merely standing up on a surfboard or trying roll-on 50-50s at skate parks.
“I’m gonna mix every soda in the machine”
“Heck yea, send it dude!”
Kit Rayner for the new CEO of the WSL
will you start with sea of darkness?
This reminds me of Marge Simpson crumping.
I always wondered what happened to the poor souls who didn’t get chosen for the ambassador of stoke and leisure! Now I know they locked them into a dungeon and just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse they’ve been released to show us that it really can get worse!
Pull em out the dungeon and slap-on a couple Hawaiian shirts.
Hopefully this meme show is a WSL x Facebook exclusive.
Holy shit gibbons, I think we have a contender for Ow My Balls. Looks like the WSL is well and truly fucked for ideas.
Does this make you wanna vomit all over yourself? I think this is the worst by far. Lets dumb down everything 100 percent and try to compete with YouTube? I can’t wait until these two guys start calling heats. like yeah bro that was so sick! Now to a squirrel water skiing.
Wayne’s world anyone?
I had a similar impression. Wayne’s World x Old MTV. Fodder for the millennial obsession with 90’s styled anything.
A meme show hosted by Adam Sandler and David Spade? This isn’t 2013. I’m not going to watch another event this year.
WSL, you just lost me.
I’ve scrapped data for large surf companies. The followers of Kook of the Day, Kook Slams, etc are not surfers. They are multiple meme account followers.
Oh my fucking god!!!! For a start how does this relate to anywhere but the US?? Anyway get fucked WSL
