Typical.
You, seriously, cannot take surfing anywhere. She will, inevitably, drink all the booze, become verbally abusive, march around outside shouting about various conspiracy theories, pass out and remember nothing of her bad behavior the next morning.
Take, for example, The President of the International Surfing Association Fernando Aguerre who, yesterday, demanded a portion of the Games’ revenue because surfing is “not a one night stand” even though the sport has yet to make its debut.
Per Olympic rules, permanent fixtures get a cut of the monies while specialty events get treated like the trollops they are.
In a wide ranging interview with Reuters, Aguerre said, “We get nothing for Tokyo from the revenue sharing of the Games. But we need to have that discussion now, to have a review. Because we are not a sport of one Games. We had accepted that for Tokyo. But now it is a different situation with likely three Games. All indications are that it could be part of LA 2028. LA is the epicentre of modern day surfing. With the likelihood of three Games… surfing will be a permanent Olympic sport. We are not a one-night stand.”
Wait, LA is the epicenter of modern day surfing?
Whoa.
But also, so typical surfing being all high-maintenance and demandy.
Ugh.

Fernando, Dirk, Laird and Lenny, they all deserve each other.
Good luck Fernando, because of your wonderful ministrations you are now dealing with the top end, serious shit sport mafia! – “Can you hear the drums Fernando……”
How couldn’t it be. It’s Venice adjacent, isn’t it.
Would pool surfing be the least risky Olympic sport, or would curling sweeper get to keep that honor?
That’s quite the appropriated Breakdancing backspin Fernando Aguerre.
This begs the question – outside of HI in the NH winter, what is the epicenter of surfing?
Frank, the only ‘cut’ will be surfing from the Olympic Schedule!
Huh…I was under the impression that infrastructure and security costs made the Olympics a big time money loser.
Is that what this dude is saying? Sending surfing the bill?
I think the host countries lose their ass but it’s the Olympic Commitee that holds the valuable TV rights
Jealousy rears its head. FIFA guys get massive bribes and payoffs poor Fernando hasn’t figured out no one cares about surfing.
I wonder how much $ would end up in Fernando’s greedy pockets
He looks like a coke & hookers kinda guy, gotta pay for them somehow I guess…
Surfing, I wish I knew how to quit you. (BG, too, while we’re at it.)

BG will always suck you back in…
And here I was thinking LA was the epicentre for modern day fuckwits.
Also, that first para about the drunken girlfriend.. whoa.. so accurate. the only thing missing was when the previous nights atrocities are passed off as your doing, not the drunken misso. I had an ex once steal money from a pool table at a – notable punch on establishment – next morning it was ME who was the problem..
I knew Fernando was a cunt
Demandy? You add to the lexicon every day.
