Fame is as fame does.
Blink and you, too, would have thought that Hollywood’s new favorite leading man just won the most prestigious surf contest on earth. Even though the “global home of surfing” continues to ignore The Eddie, surf fans everywhere, including Billy Kemper, considered it the greatest to ever run.
Phenomenal and we are all still buzzing.
Heads ringing.
Outside the World Surf League offices where heads are throbbing and/or really throbbing.
On-duty lifeguard Luke Shepardson, non-professional surfer, took the day to much applause but… does he also moonlight as Hollywood’s new favorite leading man Pedro Pascal who has wowed audiences in Game of Thrones, Wonder Woman, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent etc.?
I’m even confused now (see above).
But imagine the absolute consternation of World Surf League CEO Erik Logan, who has counted luminaries as friends (Oprah Winfrey) and enemies (Taylor Swift). Imagine the WSL plan of seeding the upcoming Pro Pipeline with celebrities in order to hot juice numbers.
Let’s hope for another Kelly Slater victory?
Yikes.

Reflects the type of porn you’ve been watching, they want you to buy more.
Caterpillar mo,s are all the rage at the moment ,slightly ahead of Ned Kelly beards with the young folk
As much as it pains me to admit this…TMZ can be legitimate with their reporting.
They have good sources and are usually ahead of the other big media conglomerates.
An Eddie Article a Day™️ keeps the WSL away, my friend.
Just looked. All becomes clear.
or cheese saneuch ob a fiisdtrurck
In English, please…
oh la la+
Does this mean we can finally start talking about the Slater and Yul Brynner? https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Will the real king please step forward..
We’re casting off Harvey & George. next year!
WTF Charles?!
are we doing a BG fantasy league this year?
Dumb.
Yeah Karl, this is some bullshit.
What a fucking insult.
Authentic wave rider. Not contrived. Certainly in the discussion of Waterman now.
But they confuse him with a fucking actor. An actor?! That shit is insulting.
That’s why Eli Olsen became a stunt cock…I mean…man!
Well, while we’re in this confused state let’s not forget the real reason for having the Pipe Pro at the end of Jan/beginning of tour.
yep, thass right- to give Slater the best chance of making it through to the back half of the year and so requalifying. 5events – the cut – 5events + finals day
Same as last year, this years crop of rookies are canon fodder.
Crooked as fuck.
World Sham League
If you got a lazy hundy, throw it on the little lion right now
At the WSL offices heads are throbbing on knobs
Not a gag reflex in site…
Elo must be sobbing in a corner somewhere. The Shootout and Eddie both ran in epic conditions, while the forecast for the next two weeks looks to be onshore and north. We all know how good Pipe looks after a run of north swell.
No repeat for bone broth. Italo/Medina air show scheduled to run instead.
Are you serious?
Why are you doing this to me?
Chas, seeing as your TMZ thirst-trap headline was obviously so well thought out, I thought I’d do you a solid, and post some images of the spotlit pair that aren’t blurry and pixelated.

This whole Man orgy when someone wins a contest is played out. I can’t help but wonder if some of them are on the low, the way they embrace. Fweird!
That says more about you than a few blokes being happy for each other, methinks.
Yup, thought never once popped in my head. Funny how it always does for some though.
Everything is gay now.
Thanks, Elton…
It’s okay to be gay!
I’m not geigh….my boyfriend is!
So much material for the wank bank, loving all this manlove xox
If want to see some sus man holding watch a skate video. Hugs all around for grinding a curb.
My take on that is unfortunately ‘Redbull man-loves and emotionally supports Luke S.”
Yuk
They don’t look alike at all, unless pixelated and blurry.
