Get behind the scenes, feel the cosiness of the in-crowd at the MEO Rip Curl Pro, Portugal…
As the Peniche sun sank like a big orange stone into the océano Atlántico one night ago, various dreams were being played out at the Rip Curl Pro.
The Hossegor surfer Joan Duru took a swipe at requalifying, sauntering into the final and Italo Ferreira, who goes around drenched in cologne and wearing loud clothes, took his third event win of the year.
This two-minute short by the singer and filmmaker Peter King, who makes people laugh by fondling a waistline that is threatening to get out of hand (“I’m persistent. And overweight. It’s a deadly combination,” he says), appears to’ve been shot by a camera with Vaseline smeared across the lens.
Still, no one except King, can capture the cosiness and noise of the in-crowd.
He knows everybody.
Mick Fanning makes acceptable Brett Simpson-style cameos, Michel Bourez, with skin the colour of buttered cocoa, gets hot under the collar as Joan closes in on an improbable finish, and Kanoa Igarashi leaps to Italo’s aid when wax is ordered (in Portuguese! How clever is Kanoa!).
It ain’t the best episode, more like a rag doll throw in a corner by a bored child, but it’s better than most web edits.
what the actual fuck is happening in advertising!?!:

Fuck, that was 269% better than PK’s trash.
It’s one of the easier languages to learn
Especially with muitos brasileiros Na tour!
Oh what makes it easy? Easy like Spanish?
Same alphabet for a start
I dunno, lived there for a while
Got pretty good at it.
Got called out for being haole down ubatubu way
Could have been a very young Philip or wiggolly.
Having done 4 years of Latin in school 🙂
Loved it at the time; love it now for how useful it’s proven.
It’s more closely connected to Latin than Spanish or Italian are. I can sort of follow it, when written, but spoken is… a whole different thing.
“How clever is Kanoa!”, now that’s fuckin gold!
