Party poppers!
The wins just keep on coming for the World Surf League in the glorious afterglow of Filipe Toledo and Steph Gilmore’s season finale wins there on Lower Trestles’ cobbled stone. There was, of course, the robust numbers making Final’s Day the most watched moment in professional surfing history, some 8.3 million people and counting. There was the roll out of the 2023 season, seeking to capitalize on growth and excitement by re-introducing Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch back on to tour.
And now, the League’s own Senior Vice-President of Tours, Head of Competition Jessi Miley-Dyer has been named one of the year’s “Game Changers” according to the august Sports Business Journal.
The iconoclast made a name for herself this year by kicking Joel Tudor out of longboarding and being equality.
In accepting the accolade, Miley-Dyer wrote, “The @sportsbusinessjournal list of Game changers for 2022 comes out today. Incredibly honored to be included in this group of women.”
Praise from surf fans as spontaneous as it was uproarious.
Mark Zuckerberg’s one-time BFF Kai Lenny posted, “Congrats” with raise the roof emojis.
Ultimate Surfer and Bachelor host Jesse Palmer added, “YESSSSSS” with clapping hands.
USA Surfing forwent words and only used clapping hands and mini bonfires.
Sports Business Journal, big ship in the harbor, also clapped but only twice as compared with USA Surfing’s four plus fire.
On it went, on and on and on but how did you celebrate?
Or are you still sending invitations to surf fan friends?
Party popper!

Wait a minute. Ms Gender Diversity is now celebrating her inclusion on a list of female-only honorees? Classic.
How much does it cost to get these awards?

Should’ve nominated her for face changer, she looks that fucken touched up in this image
That’s what she looks like at the end of the night after you decimated the bars whiskey collection.
And she did all whilst poolside in Ipanema
Never heard of the publication or award but it would make a good paper weight or doorstop.
I never knew that a large portion of our commentariat were god’s gift to women. Some very handsome devils presumably amongst us with undoubtedly powerful and presentable schlong’s.
Cheers
When I was 28 and fit I was probably a 6.5.
But being interesting and having endearing traits can have you punching well above your weight. And you’re only as old as the woman you feel.
well chop me off at the knees and call me tripod.
Fucken ol’ mate donkey dick over here, pounding some ass I hope!
TheLibertine (previous boat post ) has been sold…for a Viking burial…need slings & arrows…fireworks!
Wow those glamour shots are awesome. Especially the one of TW, might take a swing if I saw that version of her out one night but when reality showed up with the morning sun would probably be gnawing me own arm off.
backside tatoo?
It’s amazing what some retouching in Photoshop can achieve
That’s when you hope you are at her house so you can just slip out. If she is at yours she will definitely want to go for breakfast.
Brutal commentary! She seems really talented and just what it takes to attract those east of the 5 and some of the budding Palm Springs wave pool riders to the beach cities…
no life east of sepulvada blvd…
‘cept del amo
There was a time a time when I worked in a building that sat on the east side of Sepulveda and there were days when I felt lifeless
There is no drink strong enough
Kieren Perrow ‘s never looked sexier
mescal, hash, and a malted…40 ozer
I know, “GOOD roll”. There has never been any that strong!
They really got her best angle on that photo, but still a no go for me.
I might give her a whirl after a night out.
The only award she deserves is an UFPITA(ACDHJP) award.
The ‘Useless Fuckin Pain In The Arse (And Can’t Do Her Job Properly)’ award…
Next stop
Bidens white house.
Under his desk needs a clean

When emoji’s won’t cut it, we’ll switch back to using words again. But I guess, for such a meaningless nomination, meaningless sending of digital correspondence seems appropriate.
I concur enormously
🤮🤡🏄♀️💩☠️
I like literally said that already
