Who saw this coming?
I know, dear BeachGrit reader, that you are sometimes disappointed by your daily visit to the biggest little surf website on the planet. Oh, stories of redemption via personal fitness and health coaches are as important as they are beautifully written but every so often certain itches need to be scratched, blood feuds, sizzling hot rumors and boy do I have one for you.
The coconut wireless has, minutes ago, fired off a cooker. A very well-placed source just now revealed that Kolohe Andino, America’s great white hope, has been disqualified from the Billabong Pro Pipeline Masters, and possibly Hurley Pro Sunset Beach, by the World Surf League’s Rules and Disciplinary Committee for allegedly “burning a local surfer then instigating a fight then becoming knocked out.
Feel free to ponder the salient bits one at a time.
Burning a local surfer.
Instigating a fight.
Knocked out.
Disqualified by the World Surf League after review by the “Rules and Disciplinary Committee.”
Andino, who recently signed a deal with iconic Santa Cruz wetsuit brand O’Neill has been contacted though no word back at time of writing.
But what does that make you think? Feel? If true, are you wildly impressed by the moxie? The pure passionate rage that becoming a father can instill in a man’s heart?
Or generally confused.
With details still spare, I’m inclined to the former.
Does Brother Whoop?
More as the story develops.
I guess he should have manned up and not taken the cowardly approach and put such a heavy burden on his family.
Tarlow been around long enough should be able to iron things out with local strong arm..
A surfer being rude, arrogant, and belligerent? Say it ain’t so!
How’s Sunny?
😶🌫️😳🏄🏄🏻♂️💪👀🗣…🌊💔
BG is the Reno (NV), of surf websites…?
I didn’t hear no bell – Kolohe Andino
Give it another hour and the update will be.
“Pro surfer gets out of water because Hawaii locals don’t respect him or let him take every wave , goes home very upset and fingers cat while Ben Marcus jacks off watching from the closet “.
“…becoming knocked out”
That is the best thing I’ve ever heard, regarding Kolohe.
He’s been knocked out.
chloe surfed more spicy as a junior.
he had no shot at either contest anyway.
Sounds like he lost the Da Hui Backdoor punch out.
What’s the rulebook say? He’s not fighting during the event which doesn’t start for another 8 days…
The guy who knocked him out gets to take his place, it’s right there in the first couple pages
And root his missus.
I’m in!!!
Was smoking meth part of the Santa Cruz contract? Is his mouth writing cheques that his big schlong and Whoop! band progress can’t cash? Or has the perineal bridesmaid just gone plain bonkers? Stay tuned for more Hollywood adjacent news! Yussssss!!!!
I hope his perineum is ok.
I’m still very happy with my humorous way with this *nudges with elbow.
So you’re saying Kolohe is somewhere between a dick and an asshole?
It just got a tickle.
Is it even a fight if there was no acai bowl?
How good is ‘then becoming knocked out’
“Does Brother Whoop?” You know how many stars had to align, for Chas to be able to bust that line out? Golf clap, for sure.
You get to say it about him in every contest.
The great Andino imbroglio
Why did Kolohe not challenge his foe to a battle of wits instead?
I wanna know who was wearing the yellow beanie!
wonder what would non john do…
Unless it’s better than the Mick v Andy fight I’m not interested
