Poor management has a new name.
Now that we have fully celebrated professional surfing’s return with Australia birthing a quadrennial of fabulous little surfboard events, it is time to turn our attention back to the carcasses lining our World Surf League’s recent path.
Oh, I know that “quadrennial” means “occurring once every four years” but I like the word better than fourgie or quartet and, as an applied linguist, am allowed to do whatever I want.
Officially.
In any case, carcasses. Sunset Beach and Santa Cruz are both fully bloated. I have heard nothing about a re-vamped professional longboard tour-ette.
Big waves?
A source very close to Santa Monica’s levers of power declares, “Done been cancelled.”
Apparently, Bill Sharp has been let go. The spikey-haired fellow has long been the face of hot big wave action, championing XXL Awards and sorting a proper series featuring Jaws, Mavericks, Nazaré, maybe etc.
He is now out in that big wave community trying to sort some non-WSL way forward.
A well-known big wave person corroborates, saying, he/she can’t get any news on the Big Wave Awards this year even though eleven months into it with surfers, and their trusty photographers, doing the hard work during the best big wave season in recent memory.
As a student of history, you certainly recall when the World Surf League promised big wavers much better than they had ever seen.
A world of riches etc.
Now, nothing. Not even a courtesy call and a proper shame.
Will there be any takers for a big wave bacchanal?
ESPN?
The Australian government?
Also, does losing big waves dent the World Surf League’s claim of being “The Global Home of Surfing?”
Much to ponder.
More as the story develops.
Big wave tour was like so yesterday dudes
Johnny Rotten called out Jimmy Saville and got banned from the BBC 30 years before it went down. Can you link the original moment that AJ identified the person and place. And how come he doesn’t make a big deal out of Trump’s link to Epstein?
So, have your pedophile leaders explained why antifa/blm garbage were the ones breaking sh!+? They belong to your pedophile side, and have done considerably HUGE damage around Our Country. What about your who’res that showed up with the pu&&y hats on that “stormed the Capitol”!? Where were your little comments then? Oh, did you forget? The Capitol has been “stormed” (3) times in the last (4) years. ALL pedo liberal voters. Your people! You’re proud of children getting raped, huh!? Everybody keep your children away from those that vote for Biden, they have the backs of those that f’ children. Evil people!
A world tour with 2 events and a champion that didn’t make a single wave ?
ha, I think there could be an amazing event , as now Noongars are being listened to , but actions will speak louder than words…….but of course the WSL are really not part of the discussions as they are just “bully boys ” pushing a contest at all costs , “there must be a World Champ this year……meanwhile communities deal with the lack of any WSL input….ah the arrogance of Starky!
I know what I saw and heard. Many Dem leaders encouraging bad behaviour.
Not cool regardless of the cause.
Pandemic is just Dem surrounded by Panic.
You voted the f commies in, rainman.
I was exposed to him in the mid-2000s and have been amazed that he is still around. I mean anyone that throws that many bat shit crazy shit at the wall, will eventually have some stick. I would say that the percentage of correct predictions/claims he has would be very low with respect to the actual numbers of claims/predictions made.
Still he has made a good grift out of selling $3 vitamins for $30, so there’s that. Did you hear him get owned by the 21yr old Boogaloo Boy the other day? AJ thought he would be able to run rings around him, but the kid wouldn’t fall in to any of the traps and called Alex out on his high talk/low action presence and general grifting.
He’s an A grade dickhead.
You’re on “inbreed level stupidity”! No, it just encouraged the left to allow men in little girl bathrooms, and sex change bottom surgeries. Insanity on display, and now we meet one of their npc’s.
When you look at the numbers of listeners they don’t really stack up. He can claim to be on a large number of radio stations around the country, but the vast majority of them are servicing very small communities, and apart from one or two, not many are in the top 100 bracket.
I don’t doubt that he has an audience larger than he deserves, but I don’t think it is what he claims either.
Kamala and many others voiced support for antisocial behaviour,it’s all on tape, so….
Need to reset.
So do most lunatic assholes.
Bryce Ellis and Gary green end their competitive careers for not paddling out in the billabong pro at the bay. Google billabong surf into summer on YouTube, can watch the highlights, MR rippi ng waimea
Getting back on the ski to reset the skimboard and bodyboard WT
The whole thing was developing back then …. slow internet meant fuckall ads.
If there were any ads they embedded on the site you visited. Now it’s all just placeholders that pull ad content from wherever targeted at you. I don’t give a fuck either but I do get shitty at the sheer volume of it and esp when some server chokes and stalls so the page freezes all coz of fucken ads. Beach grit is good example.
I prefer to see gender as a spectrum rather than either or situation.
It makes me more comfortable when I see images of Geymar.
What does any of this have to do with sharks?
Who doesn’t know their information on the internet is used for marketing purposes? Or that if you provide personal information that may be used for something. You cannot be this naïve.
