Put your hands together, please.
The World Surf League’s CEO, Erik Logan, delighted his legion of fans, hours ago, by reaching peak Erik Logan. The handsome fifty-something had been getting closer and closer in recent months, after suffering a near-fatal surfing accident in Tahiti, handsomely trimming his beard, rolling out almost unbelievably robust viewership numbers, but nobody thought he would summit this quickly.
Logan lives to surprise, though, and took to Instagram this morning to inspire with a black square reading, “Be aware of self talk & Fight with compassion.” A fine enough sentiment, to be sure, even though the meaning of “self talk” is not necessarily self evident. No matter, as the moment of victory came in the caption which read, “Self Talk is one of the most important things in your daily life. I wanted to share this segment from an interview I did with Ben Feder. Ben is one of the most accomplished business leaders of our time. “Be aware of Self Talk and FIGHT it with Compassion.” Currently, he’s the President of International Partnerships at Tencent and an acclaimed author. (Among many other things!) His book, “Take Off Your Shoes: One man’s journey from the boardroom to Bali and back is a must-read. People refer to this book as the business version of Eat, Pray, Love. (Highly recommended!).”
And there we have it. Highly recommending the “business version of Eat, Pray, Love.”
Join surfers around the world today in celebration of this momentous accomplishment.

Plenty mad cunts walking around Newie practicing “self talk” !!!
I saw one tonight outside Coles in the Junction.
spam risk!
Tencent? Head of partnerships? So he works for the Chinese government in assisting the roll-out of civilian surveillance across the west?
Just the guy to take life advice from.
Well, he probably has a lot of experience in positive self talk in order to wash away the guilt he feels for helping the Chinese government enslave its people.
next he’s gonna grow out his bangs and say “so i did a thing”
Live, laugh, loving it! 🥰
ChadChasHere’s an excerpt from the book:
‘There’s nothing that prepares you for it when you first land in Bali. The smell. That heady mix of diesel fumes, musty leather and Russian cologne invades your senses as you bypass customs and board your private helicopter. It was on the chopper heading to
Ubud that I met my first local. Ketut, who would become my man servant and most trusted confidant. I pointed down to the tendrils of smoke riding languidly from the many temples passing below us. “What are these?” I asked him. “Our daily worship,” he replied. “The Balinese are very religious. Very humble.” And that’s when it hit me. My spiritual awakening. I could be paying these people 1/8th the wage I pay my factory workers in Flint, Michigan. I knew then that this would be my new home.”
So, just another capitalist cunt.
Hope the Indos fleece him.
Good find, ads.
Haha I just made it up, you nong
Doesn’t matter. Truth is what I believe, right?
Truth is what you read in the comment section
Zactly. Cept for bexy, who has been known to bend facts and tell untruths.
U wish.

This. This right here is the reason that surfing exists. If only The Duke could have been here to witness it. The absolute zenith of surf culture. Thanks Elo. Dog bless you.
Not to be confused with Robert Slaters “Take Off Your Socks: One man’s covid spreading journey from the boardroom to Bali and back”
I’ll get to this after I finish “Life Rider” by Laird Hamilton. Which is fucking never.
Beware of Self Awareness and FIGHT it with Delusion

You’ll take care of that ? Good on ya and I hope Nats treating ya well.

I love these articles because they always remind me of why I deleted my Instagram.
