Breaking: World Surf League announces new show featuring “the most opinionated personalities in the sport” engaging in “the hottest debate!”

"Explosive takes. No subject off limits."

Yesterday afternoon found me driving home from Wyoming, mind wandering, thinking about our World Surf League and if it will be able to withstand its latest debacle. No Sunset, no Steamer, fingers crossed for Snapper. The patented Cone of Silence providing no clues but maybe the clue in and of itself?

Jen See had texted earlier, “Prodan’s podcast hasn’t happened at all this month, that Surf Breaks thing with Cote definitely stopped, a couple dudes still seem to be blog-style writing and they syndicated something from The Inertia but otherwise not much.

Over?

Is it all over?

I became sad thinking that it is all over, feeling like there is more fun to be had.

Made.

I went to bed still sad but woke up to a text from Derek Rielly that buoyed my soul.

“Explosive takes. No subject off limits.”

It featured the following promotional video.

GETTING HEATED | WSL’s All-New Debate Show

Mick Fanning and Ross Williams.

Mick says, “Trestles is the perfect place.’

Ross says, “Fair point but I’m going to have to disagree.”

Peak WSL.

Much more fun to be made.

Had.

Seems like the equivalent of very Christian girl thinking she’s racy for wearing a black bra.

When you interview for a job with the WSL do they ask if you can catch a ‘brain fart’ in a bottle? Seems like that would be a good skill to have working for this ELo character.

The headline here starts with “Breaking”. It would be more appropriate to put some ‘wind’ on that as in, ‘Breaking Wind’.

No topic off limits? Cool – let’s hear what every WSL staffer is getting paid. Might as well do the same for all the competitors.

God bless his soul, but Mick is the guy who is too nice to say he doesn’t like a/any board in Stab in the Dark.

It’s gotta be better than Prodans continually cringe worthy podcast, where he gives his guests answers to questions and asks them to agree/submit to his take on their lives.

“Trestles is the world’s
Most dangerous wave, up there
With Huntington Beach”

“I’m not so sure Mick
I’d rather Huntington Hop
Than cross that train line”

“You can build your thighs
To minimise Hop Cramp Ross
But that damn train line”?

“Just wear booties Mick
Minimise the massive risk
Of stubbing your toe”

“Great advice there Ross
But I still think Trestles is
The deadlier wave”

“You might be right Mick
Let’s throw to old Eighty Eight
Crossing the train line”

“Wow, you guys should stand
With your toes on the hot steel
And face your worst fears”

Etc. with respect to @surfads, whose grass I’m pissing on

then Ross said if we get Otto and his patriots to storm camp pendleton…we could go to that mega surf spot ….Churches and we wouldn’t have to cross those railway tracks…
Mick replied “you’ll never get the WSL to church even if Otto is running point….so back the Huntington!
