It's a good day to be red, white and blue.
I’ve been chatting up our Brazilian future so rambunctiously since the end of ’18 that I forgot any other surfing nations even existed, aside from the funny ones like Canada and Senegal aiming for 2020 Olympic gold.
Oh sure, theoretically I know that Jordy Smith is from South Africa, Micheal Bourez is from France, Owen Wright is from Children of the Corn, Strider Wasilewski is from Poland, Adriano de Souza is from Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory etc. but all I really see is green and gold.
I assumed, by this time in the season the top 5 would read 1) Gabriel 2) Filipe Toledo 3) Italo Ferriera 4) Willian Cardoso 5) Joe Turpel.
Well guess who just waltzed through the door and put South America in a chokehold?
Real America!
And the world news is all over it. Let’s take a quick perusal together, after affixing red, white and blue stickers to our Fords. Let’s head to the Associated Press.
John John Florence won the men’s event after fellow American and 11-time world champion Kelly Slater was eliminated in the quarterfinals, while American Courtney Conlogue took the women’s competition at the Bells Beach World Surf League stop.
Florence beat Filipe Toledo of Brazil in a close final Saturday. Toledo needed a score of 6.98 points when he caught his last wave with 12 seconds left, but the judges awarded 5.90 and Florence won 14.30 to 13.98.
American, American, American, Andino, American.
Suck it, everyone.

Greg Noll didn’t surf much after 1970 I don’t think
“I don’t think Greg Noll surfed much after 1970.”
Lakeside / El Cajon rules!
AMERICA is Great again, well done. Donald and JJF working together to get it done!
hey, I have proofreading issues!!! Life is short for spel fix !! Huckerism!! kinda nice ring eh?
I vouch for Hippy..
Correct. Classic huckerism is the most american way. Mostly, I fucking hate bullies, and thats all he is. But the people and ideas he is spreading are dangerous.
ps hey thanks for that google link. I’m wading through it. Lotta words.
What a great man though. Metz for Prez!
I has most secret pagent tape off Trump from before you like buy?
He didnt really “beat” anyone, more like being an asshole is what the sheeps thought my help their lives. Heck CA elected the Terminator for the same reason.Just to say fuck you. You are right about the buffoon part tho, billionaire, he says so, but no tax returns eh? Dude loves to brag, so….whats up with that? Banks got him sewn up no doubt.
Its the Dons first lucky street, hopefully his last. He lost total votes, only won by 70k in 3 states. Rust belters grasping at a fuck you to the loss of manufacturing.
Down the road, when Trump is gone, historians are going to be really busy looking at his life. My personal guess is bank fraud/money laundering. Clean finances?
well you certainly ruined this comment section by bringing baseless politics into it, no one wants a partisan kook in the lineup, keep that shit in the valley
Just saying you’ve never uttered a positive word on this site. You sound sad. Maybe you should grab a longboard and have a 3 hour session at Private’s on the next south swell then go sink some drinks at margaritaville. Forget about bg for a bit.
It’s kind of like when you meet someone that hasn’t been laid in awhile. It just seeps out of their pores. That’s the no surf vibe I get from you.
Now that I think of it you have a “haven’t been laid vibe too”. On a roll mate!
And you aint’t no Greg Noll Benny boy.
The meek will inherit. The powers have separated the people, fact is fiction, and seriously afraid how the humble pie is going to be packaged. The only dessert on the menu left. Look at the devision and momentum Alex Jones created and he is now being exposed as a ruse. I will always love good surfing, feel like I’m being pushed away from WSL. Its packaging and menu is well…
Dude. When’s the last time you went surfing? Too much down time Benny. You need to get out there and get pounded and feel the sun on your face and salt spray in your nostrils.
And if I ever begin a sentence with “ all the people I know in Malibu” please shoot me.
Shane Dorian in gods hands?
Yes it was a funny movie. Probably too blue collar for an elite name dropping snob like you.
Word on street is Ian was bummed no one called him.
Milius and busey at dukes party for jmv. Big wed, Dirty Harry, apocalypse now, Conan the b, used cars etc.
Why wasn’t Ian invited to party?
Great Day for you Brother SSD .
Nice!! Total agreement.
