Historic!
Surf fans, riding a rollercoaster today, are currently elated as Hawaii’s Zeke Lau has just etched his name into the annals of history by living up to his billing as “the ultimate surfer” in a stunning win over Joao Chianca in the US Open of Surfing finals.
Riding a florescent yellow surfboard, Lau employed excellent clock management skills and extreme hopping in front of a beach filled with ecstatic supporters.
Online, Brazilian fans became outraged at apparent judging biases.
Much “World Shame League.”
A full recap will not be forthcoming, as the waves were knee high and horrible looking, but enjoy this spectacular moment. With the win, Lau is likely to re-qualify, again, for the Championship Tour via the Challenger Series after qualifying through unscripted reality program and Qualifying Series victories.
Historic.

He’s the only Tahitian pro surfer that was on the CT (apart from Poto but he’s a touch too old now),so someone decided to throw him a Mr Niceguy lifeline for 1 more shot at getting rid of the record for CT local having his home event as his worst event for results.
Was there a moment of silence for Ronnie G?
This is exactly why the tour has too many surfers

Another chapter for the book of Ezekiel..
Get your butt plugs greased boys and girls, the anals of Huntington Beach blown wide open by the Ultimate Surfer. Wow, What an event!
I still want to know what happened about that report of him getting punched recently.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Answer Him!!
https://www.todayifoundout….
“Within a decade of making the switch from primarily selling as an ice cream topping to drink, Hawaiian punch’s popularity skyrocketed and by 1955 it became a national selling brand. A few years later, they even created their own cartoon character mascot, “Punchy”, who had a propensity to punch people randomly. The character would ask people, animals, etc. “How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?” When they’d say “yes”, he’d punch them.”
No false crack?
I think if someone sells false crack, the buyers will eventually hunt the vendor down and tell them sternly, what a naughty person they were for accepting money for fraudulent goods.
Only real crack
Yes. We need this.
Zeke seems like a bully, bet he’s been in plenty of punchouts.
BeachGrit should be able to hunt this one down with their coconut phone.
Yes I can give you the basic lo down, I punched him once right between the eyes and he screamed like the bitch he is, does that help you
You must have an absolutely tiny fist!

Once made The Ultimate Surfer cry.
Legend.
I watched the early rounds of the men’s competition only during the Francisco swell and that was it.
At least this means we get another year watching him teeter on the edge of the cut only to fall off.
It is kind of entertaining watching him claim waves that end up being 5.3’s and losing heats.
I demand a JP Currie full report!
Dude is SLAKKIN
Thank fuck, The Dude don’t do the challenger series.
Pau Lau
Bettylou ripped those shitty little boat wakes.
No doubt.
But I still can’t stand Bob Seger.
smooth as hawaiian tropic butter…also her wave riding style…
Zeke believes in God.
It will get you a win unless it doesn’t
It’s all God’s work. 🙂
We all do.
“Goddamit why did it go flat? I gotta get to work in ten minutes!”
I know. The last wave of the session is most of the times the most frustrating.
Did Kaipo WipeO’ Heritage just shade Taylor Jensen at award ceremony Vans US Open? , ooops. Mahalo
No ka oi
What happened? did he forget someone’s name again?
ouch, it’s now known as the Kaipo invitational, winners need to Get a blood test and check your bloodline before getting on the stage for the award ceremony. The Corinthian surfer and event champion Taylor Jensen barely received notice from Kaipo . Clueless Kaipo, the new Arbiter of praise and shade, worthy and unworthy. Kaipo s exuberance for Hawaiian surfers more that likely embarrassed Kelis Kaleipa’a and Taylor Jensen (and every gracious fan watching ). Respect comes from respect given. Mahalo
Anyone watching should have been embarrassed for watching!
Like sheep without a shepard, we were tempted to watch Kaipo crown his chosen. Forgive us
Zeke is still a geek.
