Hot rumor: World Surf League even odds on canceling entire 2020 Championship Tour!

Another Coronavirus bite?

And this nasty Coronavirus business just keeps getting worse and worse and worse and worse, if a less dire than predicted death toll is left out of the equation. Schools cancelled,  hugging cancelled, eating outside of the home cancelled, performing personal hygiene after using the toilet cancelled, office picnics, movies, jog-a-thons, double dates cancelled, cancelled, cancelled.

To make things even worser, a new hot rumor floating straight down from 3 – 4 bedroom homes in the greater Santa Monica/Manhattan Beach corridor whispers that the World Surf League is 50/50 on cancelling the entire season, not just the first handful of events.

Executives allegedly complaining that “millions have been lost…”

Which begs a few questions.

How much does Australia pay for Snapper, Bells and West Oz?

Millions?

Also, does the rest of the tour also lose millions so carrying on without Australia becomes a loss on top of a loss?

Also, can the World Surf League survive as a “content producer” without a tour? Publishing exciting podcasts about body shaming etc.?

Also, will you be depressed?

Oh, let’s try not to be so dour. This is an anti-depressive place. Glasses half full etc. so there are also even odds on saving the rest of the 2020 Championship Tour.

I take those every time I cross the street and am still alive!

Let’s clink half full glasses in celebration. A roar back to action in Brazil circa June.

No?

More as the story develops.

Sounds good to me.

They may be the only comps between now and the Gold Coast in 2021.

Con this is the ultimate opportunity for the WSL to set up a world title race the way they want it to. For the Aussies it’s like the afl using Rona as an excuse to hold a night grand final.
They can set it up with quarantine at the surf ranch and crown a world champ on the back of that one comp.
If Rona dies off quick enough they might slot in pipe masters as well.

He’s famous and instantly recognisable, and is about twice the size in this photo.
The girl to Kellys left just looks like some miniature hooker wearing her little sisters dress.
I’ve looked closer and can still not recognise the face.
Kelly ain’t exactly the biggest bloke in town and she looks tiny
in comparison and I presumed she might be with him due to their matching awful dress sense…

Gaby appears to be holding Harvey’s hand??? The dollar number for the margs pro was always 5 million that it “brought to town” , mostly lining the pockets of Surfing WA creeps who run the west oz comp scene from Perth (250km /150miles north of town) and a select few (again perthies mostly) who own flash holiday homes that are rented for pros to exclude themselves from the peasants that reside in the town. Best thing ever from this virus is the pro being canned. Have to send thanks to the Chinese bat eater for something.

Dunno, I can’t enlarge the shot to see properly, but no doubt some sort of ho, and probably one of Harvey’s willing participants who’s there to get a job the traditional Hollywood way…

Is asterisks a real word? Doesn’t sound like one. It definitely shouldn’t be. Think he is a comic book character.

And when was personal hygiene after using the toilet banned, I am always behind the dam curve.
But I got a wsl alert today on my phone, saying it was finals day at bells. Awesome! I put it on, and it was a replay from 2015. not as far behind the curve as some, so it seems
