A season in hell: Tyler Wright on being catatonic for fourteen months; meet pop star girlfriend Alex the Astronaut; Doctor says, “How do we make her human again?”

Gone for two years.

If you were curious why Tyler Wright disappeared from the tour for two years, and were disappointed by the WSL’s belated and half-assed explanation, this television feature might fill in a few gaps.

While it ain’t the tell-all you mighta wanted, for mystery still surrounds the Wright family, you’ll get partly inside the head of a preternatural talent who won her first big event at fourteen and two consecutive world titles at twenty-two and twenty-three.

Meet the pop-star girlfriend “Alex the Astronaut” who nursed Tyler through her long illness, the physical therapist who asked, “How do we make her human again?” and how, at the depth of it all, and after being bedridden for months, the champ couldn’t stand up without feeling like her heart was going to explode.

A season in hell.

When folks are in a bad space, best leave them alone to sort it, especially when it’s a chickie who rips like she does. Common human decency?

Name 3 siblings that have no physical appearance similarities that all have made the tour and all have had major physical problems and 2 have recovered with the third on the way? Eerily similar and dissimilar. My guess is 3 dads… but that doesn’t explain the mysterious maladies.

Funny how there arent male gay surfers in tour ..
Somehow ultra conservative surf brands can cope with lesbians but not with homosexual male surfers.

So Tyler meets girl, gets sick. Girl need to care for Tyler. Tyler dumps girl, gets better. I’m calling Munchausen by proxy.

I figure, it’s been on Sixty Minutes, was provided by Tyler to the television channel, ain’t no point not putting it up in lights. Compelling image, I think.

ELo is such a poseur. If he wanted marketing and emotional engagement with the wsl audience then he’d be featuring the travails of all 3 wright kids via wsl behind the scenes weekly documentary. More compelling than the popular vlogs. Even Longtom would probably watch.
