Shocking: Photographic proof that the Industrial-Surf Complex is actively disenfranchising brave surfboard shapers uncovered!

Damning evidence.

You cannot, under any circumstances, trust Big Surf. It has been one of my mantras for many years, now, and has never done me wrong. Days ago it was revealed, here, that a World Surf League, Costco, Olympic cabal was maybe actively scrubbing brave shaper names, logos, from the surfboards to be used on ABC’s Ultimate Surfer and in Tokyo.

Today, very shocking photographic evidence proves the accusation true.

Study the two images (first the only one sent out across WSL/ABC channels, the second real and true):

A proper Stalinist scrubbing.

What did poor Jon Pyzel ever do to get disappeared?

What did he ever do to get vanished?

Is Matt Biolos next?

Matt Parker?

First they came for the high-performance board maker but I was not a high-performance board maker so I remained quiet etc?

We must rise up, all of us, and demand shaper names, logos, be always included or else how will history remember the grumpy local?

May the odds ever be in our favor.

Hey I know that dude. The guy getting attacked off the little orange rowboat in Jaws.

G____ something.

L____ G____?

No that’s T____ C____’s character in Tropic Thunder. Classic but not him.

T____ G___. Stuntman. Used to date L____ T____. That’s it.

Met him in Waikiki, on the beach at C______, a friend of another stuntman, _J____ R_____the guy J___ M___ V ____ punches out in the cantina when he talks about the Point Grinder.

AND NOW THIS:

t___ G_____ was Jaws’ stunt co-ordinator and has the distinction of being a member of the exclusive club of people killed by B____. G_____n is billed in the movie as ‘Estuary Victim’, the smart-alec sap who shouts sailing instructions to Brody’s kid, then gets attacked by the shark (above), his severed leg floating to the bottom of the ocean (this is one of Jaws’ most famous continuity gaffs: in the boat, he is barefoot; as his leg drops down it boasts a running shoe). Spielberg originally envisioned the scene differently with Grossman in the shark’s mouth heading towards Brody’s son and scooping him up to get him out of harm’s way. “I was in this bucket seat strapped into it,” recalled G_____. “The shark fin was behind me on a sled. I had the kid in my arms and was going to take him underwater and then the sled went underwater. It was so horrendous, that they couldn’t use it. It was too violent period.”

G_____’s heroics also ran off-screen: he was the poor sod responsible for bringing a 900lb dead tiger shark (to hang in the Amity dock) from Florida to Martha’s Vineyard. G_____went onto become a constant presence throughout S_____’s career turning up in Raiders (Peruvian Porter), E.T. (Government Agent), The Goonies (FBI man), Always (Fisherman No.2), Last Crusade (Deputy Sheriff) and Crystal Skull (reprising the role of Peruvian Porter).

I hate to burst your bubble Chas, but it seems to be a cropping choice rather than a “scrub the shaper’s name” conspiracy theory. The below image is directly off of the ABC website and features multiple shaper logos.

Jeez, are they body shaming Koa?

I should point out that in order to make a comment above, I went on a bit of a shallow dive into Koa and his bros. I think I might be enamoured…

Can we get Chris Lake to decipher? Although I’m quite sure that it’s a cursive quote about Cote giving a spider monkey a reach around.

Seems like there is space on his gut for a ‘Mayhem’ tattoo. And Koa’s forehead would accommodate a fine tatt for Pyzel.
