Lau (right) and world's other greatest surfer Tia Blanco (right).

Surf fans to have trouble falling asleep like its Christmas Eve when realizing “Ultimate Surfer” Zeke Lau into quarterfinals of world’s most popular surf contest, burnishing reputation as being better than Kelly Slater!

Try to sleep tonight.

Fans of competitive professional surfing, or not fans maybe but those who watched ABC’s much-lauded The Ultimate Surfer just last summer and fell in love with its winner Zeke Lau, went to sleep thrilled, tonight, realizing their hero has made it into the quarterfinals of the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach which just so happens to be the most popular surf contest in the world.

The premise of the aforementioned The Ultimate Surfer program was to find just that, the “ultimate surfer,” a surfer so good as to rip that crown off 11x World Champion Kelly Slater’s head and wear it, proudly, 12x at least.

Lau won, was given wildcards into the 2022 Championship Tour season, which he didn’t need because he qualified by his lonesome, then apparently lost those wildcards as we was beheaded in the World Surf League’s brutal mid-year cut.

Fans of competitive professional surfing, or not fans maybe but those who watched ABC’s emotionally successful The Ultimate Surfer just last summer, became extremely sad, then, wondering if Lau was not, perhaps, the promised savior.

Now that he is in the quarterfinals of the world’s most popular surf contest though?

Headed up against Jacob Wilcox?

Sorry, Liam O’Brien?

Christmas morning tomorrow.

Imagine he wins.

Imagine he wins the whole thing.

Will you riot?

Surfing, in any case, for the win.

Pete Mel is a gem of a human. Charges hard as anyone and still does airs at 50+ Years old. The Man Is an absolute legend and a great surf analyst.

Tia is possibly trying to obtain a deal from chocolate maker Toblerone reproducing the classic geographic form of a mountain and a valley and a mountain and a valley ?
Or she has become a human piano accordion ?

looking at those lumps and Zekes bumps I’d be saying blood tests and biopsy’s are needed.

Zeke was nearly taken down by Chris THE ELECTRICIAN Zaffas .
I thought he had him first with the big air but Chris couldn’t make it back in front of the whitewash and then with the buzzer beater 4 turn wave but only one judge gave him the 6 that was needed but they happily threw a 5.8 to the ULTIMATE SURFER for a floater over a relative soft section in comparison to what was on offer for one hit wonders over the last 2 days .

the only pit in the ‘test was from the surfer from san clemente whose father….sponsors, friends, fam, and Target are pulling for…should be the next UltSurf’r…except the judges won’t allow it. K-Hole’s wave in the opening round was an excel ride…and I wasn’t even rootin for ’em!

Some one needs sponsor Tia a sports bra.

If they are sagging that low at her young age she will need slippers for them in another five years.

watched The Reader (an excellent movie BTW) starring Kate Winslet. She’s not shy about nudity but remembered going in that her breasts were not her best assets…so anyway D, I concur!

another “Worlds Greatest Surfer”, but who knows? All seem legit, who to choose from?

hold on, let me check my phone

No way, Kanoa lost and is going home to Portugal.

Why not?

Wonder what his pronouns are?

The mystery concerning why Tia has 4 boobies in this photo is solved, she reportedly has two pet squirrels she carries everywhere she goes under her top. Strange, I dunno, it’s a step away from the small dog fashion from years past.
Zeke keeps two small budgie birds under his top, not pets, snacks.
I keep a Saint Bernard in my boardshorts so I can’t really comment-

Hybrid…will succeed

In the Coliseum, questionable…

How many times can one fight the same battle over and over, again…

“Did you get here from the top or did they slide you in from the bottom…”

With the lions?

Who will succeed?

What is survival?

That’s the bottom line…

Who’s on my side…?

I’m a survivor…

And so are we…family…

Toss out the lions and the scary bears…

Those are the teachers and your mom and dad…

We’re more than hybrid….

And scarier than bear, er, bulls…

Invest in your future, as we all did (do)…

I was first, what is going on with that photo? I’m not saying there is necessarily anything wrong with a woman having four boobies but, you know, bikini tops x 2 left all over the house, blah.
Even the caption has me guessing – “Lau (right) and world’s other greatest surfer Tia Blanco (right).”
right?

I think Chas has another quest, track down Tia and determine if she has udders or not?
