Low, high, low.
Surf legend Kelly Slater has certainly been riding a rollercoaster this past few weeks. Low then high then low once again and you, certainly by now, have either seen Pamela Anderson’s documentary Pamela, A Love Story or read her memoir Love, Pamela. The pinup-turned-television-star has opened up about her life and loves, the aforementioned 11x world champion all over both.
Slater and Anderson dated for a few years, as you know, during the Baywatch years and formed quite a pair. Alas, Mötley Crüe dummer Tommy Lee slipped the notorious love drug ecstasy into the blonde bombshell’s drink right before she was supposed to meet the Pipe Master’s mother and the rest was history.
Lee and Anderson married on the beach after a whirlwind four days, had a personal video tape stolen from a safe, Lee domestic violenced Anderson and they became divorced.
Water under the bridge, though, as Anderson told People magazine that he was the only man she had ever truly loved, in a lead up to publication, leaving Slater out in the cold.
Well, Anderson had a change of heart, as these things go, and then called Slater “her big love, actually,” sending the Floridian’s heart soaring.
Top of the world.
Slater responded by commenting on Anderson’s son’s Instagram that he “looks forward to watching” the documentary in a bit thumb directed at Lee, who had stated he “could care less” about it.
Alas, it appears that rock n roll has beat surfing once more, though, as today we have learned that Anderson has texted Lee that he is, in fact, her one true love as TMZ has obtained screen shots of the exchange.
In the pits.
But do you feel bad for the surf great? Defeated by both Yago Dora and multiple times by Tommy Lee in the same week?
Bad enough to light a candle?
Let’s do it together.

YEAH!!!! FUCK YOU QUEERS!!!
Get her on your conflab and I’ll listen for once.
Funny, a kid I work with went to college for some sort of media degree and he was just talking about how, in class they discussed the value of misreporting situations because it allows you to write correction articles and get twice as much traffic out of the same story. They are literally teaching misreporting college as a professional tactic. BG might be the Kings of misreporting to milk stories. Good job guys! That also really plays into Chas’s greatest strength of delivering a strong opinion on a subject he did zero research on in a readable almost believable way.
If you come to BG expecting journalism more so than entertainment, well then I have some bad news for you my friend…
Lol, I definitely don’t expect journalism from the worlds #1

FARK, this crap is almost worse that the Gisele thing Chuckles became infatuated with. Almost.
Kelly is way more Dana White than Elo and that’s what we and the WSL needs.
He’d push for better waves, better venues, less surfers on tour. And of course he’d paddle out as often as possible to push himself into the narrative.
Yes.
I have a feeling Ke11y would be completely lost trying to run the Wozzle. Not that the current crew aren’t completely lost but he’d risk looking like an idiot. Doubt he does that.
“All Trannies to the Longboard Tour!
Off with you, away you go.”
Kelly is certainly arrogant enough to think that he’d be able to right the ship at the WSL.
But he’d end up resigning just like Howard and O’Connell after realizing that major decisions are not actually made on the executive level, but on the Ziff level.

E Lo is more Vanna White than Dana White.
Conspiracy theory: Pam released this information shortly before the Pipe contest with the specific objective of getting in Kelly’s head for the purpose of paring down half of the Surfvival league
I’ve got a candle ready, Chas.
Pipe – a sad fail for our boy.
I sense a crisis point requiring a decision is looming fast.
Here’s hoping he’s coming in hot for Elo’s job.
Hah, I hadn’t considered that!
But, why not ? Good call.
Or at least boot JMP to the sidelines and let him run the Tour.
Kelz retires. Woz kicks off Seniors Dream Tour. The man needs tangible adulation.
He would have to make decisions on what’s the best interests for all pro surfers.
Without meaning to sound disrespectful, I think Kelly would struggle to consider what’s best for everyone rather than just himself.
It’s certainly a character flaw I’m guilty of.
It’s a very difficult job. Poison in all fairness.
