All for one and one for all!

When it was first reported that Emily Ratajkowski was becoming divorced from then-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, San Diego area surfers became instantly and keenly interested in the drama. Ratajkowski, you see, hails from the quaint North County town of Encinitas, previously most famous for its subcontinental-inspired Self Realization Fellowship overlooking the aptly named “Swamis.”

The model/actor had been moved into the town as an infant and spent her youth going to various botanical gardens, likely eating tacos, trick-or-treating on Sandcastle Lane, sunning at Stone Steps, attending San Dieguito Academy High School before pursuing fame and fortune in New York.

She reached a certain level of fame, of course, pre and during marriage but her star absolutely exploded post. Initially rumored to be romantically involved with Brad Pitt, Encinitas locals, and especially local surfers, went rabid attempting to spot the couple at Kaito Sushi, Seaside Market, Leucadia Pizzeria (which is named after the neighboring hamlet but is actually in Encinitas). After those whispers were proven less than true, the selfsame locals imagined they could woo Ratajkowski themselves and return her to the home she no doubt loves. Alas, the world’s most desirable man Pete Davidson swooped in and now he and the Blurred Lines temptress have been pictured here, there, most recently courtside at a New York Knicks basketball game.

Initially saddened, the locals have rebounded and are now toasting their rising stock. Never before has an Encinitan or Leucadian or even Cardiff-by-the-Seacer been pictured sitting courtside at a New York Knicks basketball game, much less photographed. Never before has one of us captivated so grandviewly. And as is the way, here, one local’s success is every local’s success. Rob Machado’s 2000s Pipeline Masters as much mine as his.

How much higher can Ratajkowski fly? Pete Davidson is only a stepping stone, certainly, but who do locals want to see her with at the very end if not one of us?

The world’s greatest surfer Kelly Slater?

Sorry, he’s taken.

More as the story develops.

Better than World Cup soccer!

Aliens in the lineup.

As if Australian lineups, and especially on the fatal east coast, were not dangerous enough. Slippery rocks lead to many waves which are crowded with sneering surfers, angry and snakey. Sharks swirl underneath waiting to grab feet already bleeding from slippery rocks and Dean Morrison.

Well, a very smart Ivy League scientist from the United States is suggesting something more ominous, more alien, may be lurking as well.

Namely, aliens.

Harvard professor Avi Loeb is convinced that a meteorite crashing off Snapper Rocks eight, or such, years ago was actually a UFO and has secured $2.2 million dollars to go prove the theory.

Per 7 News:

The meteorite crashed into the Pacific Ocean in 2014, about 160km off the coast of Australia’s near neighbour Papua New Guinea (but also Snapper Rocks etc.).

Loeb told Sunrise he believes the expedition may help answer questions about whether we are alone in the universe.

“The material of it is tougher than iron, based on the data, so the question is whether it’s just an unusual rock or perhaps a spacecraft from another civilisation,” he said.

According to the Science Times, the space rock is only the third known object of its kind to land on Earth.

But let’s discuss UFO’s for one moment. Has recent footage of fighter pilots spotting unexplainable phenomena changed your opinion? Have you always believed? Are you UFO curious?

Also, does a UFO crashing off Australia’s coast explain the end of the Association of Surfing Professionals and (1976 – 2014) and the birth of the World Surf League (2015 – present)?

Really ponder CEO Erik Logan for a moment.

Like, really.

Something to think about.
