Watch: Famous surf commentators and dads Pete Mel and Kaipo Guerrero just discovered “The YouTube!”

Any Kine is a must!

Oh my goodness and oh man. Would you permit me a moment of honesty? One brief minute where I can let my un-salon’d hair down and just talk real talk?

I worry about our World Surf League commentators and I worry about them regularly throughout the day.

Us?

We’re all just self isolating per the norm. Living in our spaces whilst not leaving. Relatively poor, unnecessarily opinionated, doin “our thang.” But the World Surf League commentators? Used to traveling to the world’s best waves with the world’s best surfers?

Oh my goodness and oh man.

Lives upended.

Lives erased.

Thankfully there is the wonderful Instagram account @thegreenroomtimes that provides levity in these troubling times.

Also, thankfully, World Surf League commentators Pete Mel and Kaipo Guerrero just discovered “the YouTube” of which @thegreenroomtimes lovingly informed me.

Did I watch?

Of course.

I love both Pete Mel and Kaipo Guerrero more than my adoptive father but won’t spoil the glories for you but will also say that one of my favorite parts is the perpetual underlying vaguely techno soundtrack.

Truly next level performance art.

If World Surf League CEO Erik Logan and his co-Waterperson of the Year Dirk Ziff aren’t taking a piece of this then shame, deep shame, on them.

Pete and Kaipo?

You think I’m joking but absolutely am not.

More as the story develops.

No fuckin’ thanks
Mel’s just a complete tool and Kaipo gives the impression that he has a very limp wrist
So just to reiterate, no fuckin’ thanks…

Can Pete Mel actually do a turn? I realised the other day I’m sure I’ve only ever seen him go straight, granted on some pretty big juice but got me wondering!

I truly always thought that Kaipo had a learning disability and Pete Mel was that dad that you never wanted to be seen with…. till now… That was fantastic!!

Further points against that damn WSL organisation and their productions

Maybe he’s assembling hisHurlululy team? Signing an all star crew of the top surfers, yoga, and lifestyle influecers. Setting up manufacturing/visiting garment vendors in Chi-nah? Or, if it was me, seeking Wiggs for spiritual and life coaching needs.

His wife probably put a stop to his BeachGrit time vacuum. There’s a PANDEMIC occurring, Hubby!! Get off of that silly website and go get some food to put on our table! Or no sex for months!!!
