Save Erik.
It has been over twenty-four hours since World Surf League CEO Erik Logan bravely turned his camera on and documented a potentially life-threatening reef injury suffered while possibly surfing or or piloting a SUP. Viewers cringed, grasped their stomachs, gasped for air as Logan filmed his foot, scratched and lightly bleeding, while World Surf League deputy commissioner Renato Hickel sternly said, “We have Erik with his first Tahiti tattoo and he already poured some alcohol on it but we gotta go lemon, lime.”
Surfers everywhere, instantly, knew how serious the situation was as staph infections can easily take hold causing loss of limb, even death.
World Surf League head judge Pritamo Ahrendt assisted, with commentary, as Hickel rubbed lemon or lime into Logan’s wound while Logan writhed in pain, groaning, squealing, stomping his uninjured foot.
Overnight, candles were lit for the Oklahoma native’s full recovery, flying lanterns sent into the air with scraps of paper inside reading “Save Erik.” And this morning, surfers everywhere and maybe Oprah Winfrey too, logged onto Instagram to see if there were any updates.
Nothing.
And, now, over 24-hours on, still nothing.
Absolute crickets.
Surfers everywhere began chewing finger nails down to nubs, problem drinking, checking themselves into mental health facilities as the minutes stretched on with no updates.
Oprah Winfrey completely missing in action.
While it is never encouraged to lose hope, now might be the time.
RIP.

Let us hope they didn’t light candles outdoors in Okieland and the wind comes sweeping down the plains while starting a wild fire of epic proportions. As we don’t need another Grapes Of Wrath to occur sending those Okies west again!
order more NOx…https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.ne…
Its official ELo is dead
Or just a deep sleeper
Im not giving the wsl credit for my problem drinking.
Ha ha ya’all think it’s so funny but Bob Marley was sent along from a seemingly benign foot scrape.
So there’s still hope.
His religion played a big part.
“We have Erik with his first Tahiti tattoo and he already poured some alcohol on it but we gotta go lemon, lime.”
If he already cleaned the wound with alcohol, was the lime was simply for show? Naw…
Conan Hayes is back in the news at the Washington Post.
Wapo ain’t news.
It is actually, unlike the NY Post.
Having worked in Oprah’s home and once in her studio, I noticed two things. Very strict security (finger printing) and all her employees are gay, mostly women. IN fact, I don’t recall a male on her property… I was the lone sausage.
Does Eric have a significant other of an opposite sex?
God help us if we lose the Eric to a few scratches….. please monitor his IG account for any confirmation of his recovery. Amen.
I am very much on the case. 🙏
Thank you for your surfice.
The plot thickens
Full Wilbur
Relax Chas.
He’s prolly on a binge at the Pound Bar.
While it was initially predicted that only one foot had been injured the official WSL/Surfline doctor has revised that number up to 5-7 feet, greatly increasing the scale of the disaster
Playing footsie under the table whilst having a staph meeting?
Probably infected after he put his foot up Renato’s arse for all the lame hold calls
That wasn’t his foot.
Renato fucked us with his calls, so Elo fucked Renato, makes sense
who’s this foot(e) gal? in w/ the band? can she sing & dance?
blew sushi and a helium balloon or two…Steph.
The night of the long toe
“but i have a knife & gun, officer…do you do drugs?”
