Great odds!
But have you ever sat at home, in December, chatting with your very best online surf friends whilst the Pipeline Masters plays, typing less-than-charitable things about Filipe Toledo and his decided lack of brazen?
“Look at that wave. It’s perfect. I would have gone.”
Well guess what? Starting a few days ago you can pay the low, low price of $125 to win a 1 in 126 chance to prove yourself bold.
The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing, you see, will have a video component and the winner will be slotted right in to that Pipeline Masters but let Dane Gudauskas explain the rules.

I hope the San Fran foil Val wins and then loses horribly… I didn’t listen to Dane G’dang tell the rules.
Just dissapointed it’s not what it was
Sorry my bracelet told me i haven’t recovered enough to paddle out today !!!
Professional surfing is a joke. Limited schedules, settling for shitty event conditions, reality surf shows, random lottery buy-ins, etc….
I’ll pay Occy’s application fee, would be so sick
125 bucks seems like a steal! How may QSers, CT pros and free surfers would pay 125 bucks per session just to nab a few set waves without the usual Pipe madness? I’d be more than happy just to shoulder hop the lefts that finish over that oh so soft sand bar.
How dare you suggest that I watch the Pipline[sic] Pro and laugh my tits off to the biggest chicken shit peahearted joke of a world title contender claiming shoulder hop head dips. The mere gall of you.
I already spend enough money embarrassing myself playing golf. I’m not doing it for surfing as well.

I’m going to need a detailed list of the other 124 athletes vaccine status before I enter.
I can surf with a 124 surfers everyday at pipeline in January without paying $!
Can I pay $125 to make sure I never have to go near Pipe in January?
For the princely sum of $15,750 we could take over this event completely! It would Make Beach Grit Great Again!
You stay classy Beach Grit, I’m Dane Gudauskas?
I’m a traditionalist.
Alas, the days of my being able to compete against the world’s best surfers and do anything better than completely humiliate myself are a few decades gone. I’ll continue to watch safely on the sidelines and comment (in)appropriately.
The 19th hole.
The time is ripe for a beach grit takeover of the event. Soz, only skimmed the “article” but if it requires a vid of someone doing aquatic stunts then one of the mugs here has to be up for it (not me, I’m more tennissing than surfering at the mo)? If it needs moula then we can all chip in? Eh? Meanwhile you two principals can exert your substantial industry leverage and substantial reserves of charm and fix it, surely? No contestant likes a fair fight. As to what we do with the prize, can we sell it? Or, did I miss something by not reading the article? So many question marks.
I didn’t read it or click the link either but whatever they are doing or selling I’m strongly opposed too.
“With the inclusion a progressive craft wave submission, what is your progressive craft choice?”
What is a progressive craft? A foil seems anti-progressive.
Surf a single fin for 5 waves, number 6 on a thruster.
