Tease me once, shame on me. Tease me twice, shame on me. Tease me three times, shame on me. Tease me four times… wait. No shame at all. We live in the future where predilections and kinks of every make and model are not only acceptable but to be celebrated.
Tease me, World Surf League, one more time!
And apparently my predilections and kinks are all being sated for a new, hot rumor floating out of Santa Monica on tickly feathered wings.
You well know that Erik Logan and team have titillated us much since the Coronavirus descended and cancelled our culture.
No professional surfing. Only Lawn Patrol.
And yet announcements announced. Announcements coming soon. “Major” announcement at the beginning of June. “Major” announcement at the beginning of July. But no “major” announcement forthcoming. The League not even explaining where the “major” announcements went.
Sad.
And we’ve been left to our own devices, as Erik Logan and team have silently retrenched, to monger in rumor. But substantiated rumor from inside the belly of Santa Monica’a beast. True rumor or true-ish.
Another?
Certainly.
A source “close to the levers of power but also very much involved in franchising Subway sandwich restaurants” has floated that a “major” announcement is coming on Tuesday and will cement the already rumored rumor that the 2020-21 season will be mashed together, beginning this December at the Banzai Pipeline.
Where will it end?
According to the source, ending the whole shootin’ match “…at Trestles in September with a one day surf-off between the top four men and women” is being heavily discussed.
Imagine, Trestles there in North County, San Diego once tossed onto the scrapheap of modernity, replaced by a giant blue plow in a long Lemoore lake now back and the crowner of champions.
Do you like?
Love?
I do. It’s a wonderful parable for hanging in there, not giving up, not losing heart when the chips are down.

Tell me I’m wrong.
How they gonna run anything when half the worlds still shutdown. Best thing coming out of all this Covid debacle is how much most people are realising they don’t give a fuck about pro surfing.
hail to the redskins
All I took from this was that you, A) don’t know where Trestles, or B) trying to throw your North SD county into the article for some reason. Trestles is clearly in San Clemente, which is Orange County. Get your shit straight.
Please refer me to this research (scientific please, not a spouting politician), my tard self is unable to locate any credible information about “heard” immunity and how the virus will “start to die out and then became a thing of the past”. Kinda sounds like something vanishing without a trace to me. Much love fuckstick.
I think it’s a great idea , as I think there will only be Merrycans on the USA tour…as the USA will be off limits to the rest of the world , with Brazil…..so will the USA lift it’s ban Brazilians?
there will be no tour next year!
Scary
Can we cancel old white dudes whinging about cultural changes?
Except companies like Qantas are banking on no international travel until July 2021. So how is that gonna work.
2020-21*
Thx god the US mainland has an event other than a concrete pool. What a shame when they took it away. I also, agree it shouldn’t be the showdown location though. Im also hoping for less auz locations.
Trestles, from a spectators point of view is pure dogshit.
tucker carlson white power news only!
I was wrong once
But that was only because I thought, for a distressing few minutes, that I was wrong
Turned out I was right, so technically I was wrong…about being wrong
It won’t happen again
HRH you are definitely wrong
Trestles? Toledo.
GOAT– welcome back! Hows south shore treating you and the fam?
LongTom for US president, tbh.
You must be an infectious disease specialist with such grand knowledge of herd immunity and pandemics vanishing without a trace.
Why don’t they just send
Curren and Occ to JBay
For a six month heat?
Getting cancelled for Lemoore has to put a little stink on Trestles, no?
I’ve always found competitive surfing at Trestles a bit boring. I get the performance aspect but it’s rarely overhead and just feels mushy for these guys and girls that are capable of making waves that other humans are not. In terms of theatre, Trestles is higher than Rio, slightly higher than Dbah and is definitely behind the 3 hrs a day when the sandbars line up in France. Gimme a wave with consequence when it comes to pro surfing.
Especially for a world title. Hunger Games inspired event in Tahiti.
It wouldn’t have the same impact if held in the US…just an ordinary day really
Trestles event is to surfy industry core “brotopia” with hint of San Clemente “muy self importante” stirred in. Where as in Hawaii all the bro’ness has the shaka’s on eggshells factor..
I agree that it’s best watching pro’s surfing waves of consequence but it’s also good to have 1 or 2 events in waves that ordinary surfers like myself surf, it make their surfing relatable and shows how good they really are
Could be that, could be the release of a theatrical trailer for Ultimate Surfer…
