Light a candle tonight.
Hearts briefly stopped, around the globe, when news began trickling out that World Surf League CEO Erik Logan had suffered a potentially life-threatening surfing injury in Tahiti just hours ago.
In a wrenching video, posted to Instagram, deputy commissioner Renato Hickel stares gravely into the camera and declares, “We have Erik with his first Tahiti tattoo and he already poured some alcohol on it but we gotta go lemon, lime.”
The camera then goes to the gruesome mess, a few just barely bleeding scrapes on Logan’s handsome right foot.
The World Surf League’s head judge, Pritamo Ahrendt, acting as Hickel’s registered nurse, adds, gamely, “We’re going deep.”
Hickel then boldly applies the lemon or lime to Logan’s wound causing him to groan and writhe in pain, stomping one foot uncontrollably.

It is uncertain he will survive whole, as staph infection is a real worry, though we can conjure hope by remembering when Arizona surfer Rick Kane suffered a similar injury at the Banzai Pipeline, decades ago, and was cared for by Sam George’s ex-wife.
Kane, by all accounts, survived.
Will Logan?

Looks like gang green definitely amputate before it gets to his heart like Kanoa Green
I call BS. That’s actually a stunt double that E-Lo hired so he could fake the whole thing and get some street cred.
What a whimp , come work with me just for a week that is sissy La La all the way. You youngsters are whimps.
Is that a North Shore movie reference? Lol
I actually knew a guy who died from a similar injury in Indo. It took 6 weeks but the infection was fatal. Might have just been coral growing in his blood.
All joking aside, it’s best not to fųck around with seemingly minor injuries, when you’re not at home in Pasadena.
Reef there’s a reef? Yeah brah if you here don’t be there or you gonna get drilled. Elo got lit up like an electric light orchestra. Ooh that hurt. Reef rash at best. Okie is calling. Reap the corn. Lot safer.

In 1995, after authorities found cocaine in Busey’s Malibu home, the
actor best know for his role in the 1978 film “The Buddy Holly Story”
was charged with one count of cocaine possession, three counts of
possession of marijuana, possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms and
being under the influence of cocaine. (GatePundit)
note: check the t-shirt from his other movie: Point Break.

Karma for squeezing a local thigh?
When the biggest takeaway story from the 2022 Tahiti pro is the ceo and employees caring for ( x) ceo foot scratches I think Ziff isn’t so stupid to know a new ceo is in order?
Once the story tellers insist on being the story.
It’s time for a new story teller.
Waiting patiently for a The Agency social media post with their deepest #thoughts and #prayers on this dark hour.
He really did pull back and let out a whimper.
How long before his balls drop?
Maybe I’m alone in this thought, but I anticipated Logan’s in-pain sounds to be more reminiscent of my friends Chihuahua getting buzzed by his shock collar.

Look out for an 8 part documentary from WSL studios on the injury and his long road to recovery.
At least if he gets it amputated he can call himself Eileen
