Power chiefs Erik Logan, Jessi Miley-Dyer head to highly-regarded hipster festival for thrilling panel discussion on “surfing’s swell of success and the business behind it!”

Buckle your belt buckle.

The most exciting news just so happened to drop yesterday, a spicy chorizo sausage that I plopped onto yesterday’s poutine, though I woke this morning, thinking about it, and realized it deserved its own plating.

World Surf League Chief of Executive Erik Logan and his fast-rising Chief of Sport Jessi Miley-Dyer will not be following the Championship Tour to Portugal for stop number three, the only in Europe, but rather be heading deep to the heart of Texas where they will be feted at the highly-regarded hipster festival South by Southwest (SXSW).

The power couple will be joined by Jadson Andre and British television program creator Paul Martin on stage delivering a scintillating panel discussion titled “Surfing’s swell of success and the business behind it.”

Per the show notes, “Over the last two seasons, the WSL has undertaken dramatic format changes – instituting a mid-season relegation line and a one-day, winner-take-all Finals event – which have delivered elevated audiences, driven partnerships and distribution and created tense and challenging moments for its surfers. The WSL docs-series Make or Break has been on-site and around the globe to capture it all. This panel will take you behind-the-scenes into the business of this breakthrough sport.”

Absolutely thrilling but currently there are more questions than answers. Will Logan and Miley-Dyer’s dueling self-promotion live up to sky high expectations from Austin (i.e. Instagram Stories from The Jackalope)? Will Bailey Ladders receive its proper due during the “partnerships” portion of the chat? I hate the World Surf League?

fwiw, automakers generally have significantly reduced ad-spend for a variety of reasons related to economic/financial current realities. So as much as the Jeep thing seems like an indicator of ELO-fail, guessing the reality is that Jeep was out the door regardless. Query, however, whether the fanfare over replacing the iconic outdoor auto brand insignia w/ a ladder company was the best move for the Wozzle brand.

Will there be a Q&A? BG writers should go. Do a Gofundme for airfare and Austin smoked brisket.

Surfers in perf love a black cock or two!
If youve ever been there ist wedged between a freeway and an airport , total shithole so fantastic location for a pool. Where the water will come from is a better question, as for direction faced ? east winds most mornings , ssw every arvo for at least 6 months of the year , I,m betting they will fuck that up

This a awesome deal for pro surfing!!

Soon everyone who wouldn’t surf there in a contest due to , well, legitimate shark attack fears will have another wave pool on tour!

Elo is getting ready to bulldoze a quarter of native bush at the site so he and those surfers he choose to honour him can plant endangered black cockatoo carcass so they can grow and prosper!

Erik Logan in Austin, TX. What’s that saying? There’s only steers and queers in Texas. Erik has proven he can’t steer the good ship S.S. Wozzle, having brought great meaning to S.S. by Singularly Screwing up what should have ostensibly been single screw proof. So, since he can’t steer, he must be…

frequent Austin from time to time for business. There are also guns. And many lakes (not the surf kind). And unbelievable traffic, believe it or not. If you’re ever there and ordering some beverages, try the electric jellyfish.

Social climbers. Plain and simple. Most of the people clawing to the top in that side of the Surf biz (I vomit in my mouth as I write this) organism often have the cognitive ability of a high school kid and push out a lot of good people around them.

My momma told me, when I was young.

Sit beside me, my only son.

Listen closely to what I say

if you can do this, it will help you some sunny day

Oh take your time, don’t live too fast.

Troubles will come, they will pass.

Go find a woman and you’ll find love

Don’t forget son, there is someone up above
