Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream.
The power of love is a curious thing, make-a one man weep, make another man sing. Change a hawk to a little white dove, more than a feeling, that’s the power of love. Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream, stronger and harder than a bad girl’s dream. Make a bad one good, make a wrong one right, power of love will keep you home at night and also, quite possibly, fuel a World Surf League Championship Tour title.
Brazilian Gabriel Medina’s run through the entire year was tres magnifique. One of the best seasons, start to finish, in professional surfing’s 45-year history. He could do no wrong, carrying the pressure, the weight, the stress with an easy smile, a laconic interview style never before seen.
The surf public immediately credited his new wife, the extraordinarily beautiful model Yasmin Brunet, with the transformation.
Gone was the dour of step-pappy Charlie. Ever-present the warm hazy glow of blonde Brunet et voila.
Championship.
Olympic Gold medalist and erstwhile World Surf League Championship Tour winner Italo Ferreira was paying close attention, also crediting Brunet, and has, allegedly, sought to rekindle his own romance with the equally beautiful Maria Azevedo.
An inside source has confirmed “something happened” in the relationship after Ferreira won the 2019 crown, then Azevedo always by his side (read here). She wasn’t seen during the just-wrapped tour but the couple is famously tight-lipped even to friends.
Still, the source says, since Medina’s win Ferreira has been reaching out to Azevedo and the two have long nightly phone conversations covering “heavy topics.”
“Don’t be surprised if you see Maria at Italo’s side when the 2022 season begins in Pipe.”
A battle of gorgeous Brazilian power couples?
Peak surfing.
First time you feel it, it might make you sad. Next time you feel it, it might make you mad. But do be glad baby when you’ve found that the power makes the world go ’round.

Remember when Donovan rode for “Free”? Gerr too? Maybe.

If he really wants to throw down and get involved he needs to steal Gabes misso and parade her out every event by his side. Now that would be a flex!
Considering his alleged, rumoured fling with Neymar propagated by the always scrupulous Chas surf journalist, that last P could well be poohole…
Huey wrote some excellent stuff; played with Nick Lowe, as well his own band. He’s an unsung hero, even aside from his commercial success.
Hope I get to see some live music again soon, I’m missing it!
In far more important news today…
…after a 2 month wait my VB cologne finally arrived in the mail…
…and smells as cheap and shitty as expected. GREAT STUFF !

P.S.
It’s probably what Italo needs to get his ‘form’ back…
Matter of fact.. you got it now!
The cologne probably tastes better.
Just dropped in for 42 secs to post this

So presumably Dezza&Chasdzy have a machine clicking away continuously to get all those millions of 32-42 second ‘visits’…

What happened to my bird?
mista spakle approved
That’s just me and Bicko.
“Something happened” – Read, yeyo fuelled influencer model orgiastic after party on the NS – allegedly, according to my drug addled brain anyway. Aint nothin’ more powerful than a bad girls dream and newly crowned WC!
Loving the Huey Lewis reference
Reference(s). Last para.
Back to the stinkin’ Future.
I want a new drug.
Been vaxxed?
So when surfers talk about Huey, it’s Lewis?
Everyone loves a Huey Lewis reference. No one actually likes his music though. The two exceptions are Christian Bale’s character from American Psycho and a former boss of mine who also confessed to being very heavy into cocaine at the time.
Might as well face it, you’re addicted to love.

I’ve just locked the venue for the first KVF art show. You in?
Yeah, sure, as long as you don’t mind that every individual piece appears only on either a 3 x 5 or 4 x 7 index card.
Morons, hey ?
Won’t put out a KVF T Kollection but want to run an art show …
Queer as fuck Karl. Run a mile.
cheers, a
Tuff crowd!….KVF vs PMW would wow em all…..keep it underground…Chas wannabe manager like bottom feeding shark..(.real estate agents and solicitors ) all middleman cunts wanting something for nothing…rip off fancy talking scum!…eat a Chas!
He’s going to be too busy doing contest analysis for BG store credit. But seriously, who will be taking over for Longtom? Jen for the men’s heats and Surfads for the women’s? Keep it interesting. Danes Sauza & Sukiyaki for the new BG power rankings?
Poor Andy King. Here I was thinking it was he who helped harness the Gabby. Alas, it was the power of the p____
I’m pretty sure it’s ok to spell “pussy” on this site. The moderator let Nigeria purposely spelled with 2 gs slide.
With all my cunts and fucks I have no doubts either. However, considering Gabby’s beautiful friendship with Neymar, one can never be sure that the “p” is actually for pussy…
Her getting trampled while Italo got carted up the beach at Pipe was the most heavy-handed (but somehow real!) foreshadowing of where that relationship was going.
Oh man fuck hahaha.
Lol the COVID mocking video was unexpectedly based. I like Italo even more.
Koa should be zekes bitch and get on tour that way.
A perfect couple.
Didn’t she leave him to bang some pro soccer – excuse me, fútbol player?
No idea why he’d go back to her after that, especially when you can throw a rock in any direction in Florianópolis and hit a woman that looks like her
Great point.. In that way I feel like Brazil is like Eastern Europe – go into the favela or the countryside and get yourself a gorgeous woman essentially untapped. Relatively easy for a normal man, having celebrity and wealth would only make it easier in my unqualified opinion.
“untapped” in your dreams bud
A quick route or two from a retarded uncle is still pretty untapped even for a rural girl.. I’ll put my dick in anything though.
Fuck!…i really thought you were a surf mom….duped again!..faarkin intraweb…dark dark place!
Can I volunteer to be the rock?
If you take a pint glass from my club, don’t bring it back. They have cases of new ones available.
I want to come to your club. Where is it?
$100 on @disqus_l1hX4Kitcr:disqus will go with.
A- I’ve just recently sold it.
B- It’s only for fellow ex Green Berets and the occasional passing Navy Seal.
C- It’s just a money laundering cover for my underworld activities so not really open to the general public.
D- It’s in a rough part of Town and too many of my immigrant estate workers and house maids live nearby so I don’t actually frequent it myself. I like to keep those relationships strictly business.
E- Saying where it was, might compromise my identity, Obviously with my high level access this could threaten the National security of this Country.
F- I don’t want to share my bevy of A1+ strippers with the likes of you.
G- Some other bullshit.
All of the above. I’ll just stay VS, thank you.
Start a gofundloser, and I’ll send you the $100. You probably need it, chump.
I’ll just be VS, thank you.
You don’t need to worry about your pint glasses. But if you have little metal ramekins they are definitely coming home with me. Wifey and I have lifted at least 20 in our 10+ years of marriage. Something about the family that commits petty theft together stays together? They are perfect for salsas, dips or my mis en place.
