Giving the people what they need!
These have been hard days for fans of competitive professional surfing. Rough hours punctuated by vaguely depressing minutes. The World Surf League, home to the aforementioned CPS (competitive professional surfing), thrilled all by recently announcing robust growth across all platforms. Engagement though the roof. Brand partners bashing down the door to get inside.
That windfall was used to slash the upcoming Quiksilver Pro France and place many more Challenger Series and lesser point’d events on “tentative.
Well, one-time golden boy Julian Wilson, hearing those tear drops, has decided to give the people what they want and return to the singlet.
Can you believe?
He will be surfing in just thirty minutes.
Watch here and let’s discuss his performance afterward, ok?
Fun.

Could Julian win a world title if you had to surf short bards and logs?
CPS (Claiming Past Sessions): Surfed 3X overhead Jalama in the 80s…2X overhead Freightrains in the 70s…waist high dribblers in MB in the 60s…that’s all i got! escapee…
From our personal experience dealing with vans re: Bowlarama, Vans are stingy , but stingy like my Greek Nona …..with a smile
Who won?
Thoughts and prayers?
While my family hung out in HB Sunday enjoying the wall of positive noise I debated asking them, via text, if they spied any Ronnie G t-shirts yet I couldn’t bring myself to send the text. I knew it would crush the positive vibe they were experiencing.
keeping up the good grooves & vibes…
PS:
JanieRonnie had a gun…Where would any great band be with out the family ripping up the dance floor?
too funny, WL. Aging rocker’s older fans are bringing their kids to see the show, i’d guess. Who wouldn’t bring the whole family to see Ozzy, Jethro, KISS? Took my then teen-age kids to see YES at Hollywood Bowl. I was stoked. They probs don’t even remember…
I’m stoked that my kids would froth at the opportunity to go to just about any gig id go to . Fortunately for me we have the same taste in music. I bet your Groms will LWAYS remember that Yes gig. They’re he experience moments that will etch into unforgetable memories….especially something like a YES gig…. and the huge fart someone dropped at a wedding speech.
Julian just came in on his last wave with three mins to spare, seemingly in first place. But then was knocked to third in the dying seconds.
So, yeah.
I like these rippy, bowly HB conditions.
Did julian Wilson sing for the begees
