Japanese hunk Kanoa Igarashi telegraphs potential pivot to professional running if he falls off surfing’s Championship tour!

Empowering!

But have you ever considered what you would be doing if you were not doing what you are doing? Say you’re a teacher but then the district decided it needed to spice things up so enacted a mid-year cut wherein the lowest performing teacher would be fired during the middle of the year. Or a construction artist but, same scenario, spice needed, lowest performing workman cut mid project.What would you fall back on? Shoot for some dream or become extra practical and get a job flipping burgers?

Well, Japanese hunk Kanoa Igarashi, near-ish losing his job as a professional surfer, has telegraphed a possible shift to professional running in a just-released podcast interview with sponsor Red Bull.

You must listen here, but a sampling to get you started.

“You know, it really reminds me of surfing. I love that feeling of taking he first few steps because I know it’s going to be my time: my time to be free, my time to be myself. I can listen to the music that I want to and I can run where I want to, in any direction that I want. It’s empowering.”

Glorious but the question must be asked. When not running, who is dictating what music Igarashi is allowed to listen to, which direction he can go etc.?

Is this a signal for help?

An SOS?

Curse that Erik Logan.

Still rubbish for a pro level competition just like the main break it’s all a hoax

AI (for ever) .

I was always thinking he was more a table tennis kinda guy?

Capt Sensible

Why would you it’s a 2 second wave at best , and the only ones that are worth watching are the lid riders ,they rip the joint.

Tom

or its windy and they will do the hold all day shit!!

Pauly Matt War-Shore

Waiting for new swell to kick I think

By way just watched pre comp surf at WSL site – every fucking wave was a 2 carve fest with occasional close out end
Noone should be getting over a mid range 5 to maybe a 6 if they handle over bricks
JJF packed a few by looks at box
So this comp is basically a joke too – shouldn’t be even out main break

Tom

Away on holiday and trying to surf – but did they cut to the solar eclipse yesterday ?? Did it put everything on hold?
Did Turps give we just are waiting for “sun and moon to reset” call like the woz control our solar system – which we know they do!!

Is it wrong to enjoy these controversies while this bizarre dynamic plays out?

Kelly also releases his line of Tarot Cards made in Thailand. Only Kelly can read them, according to Kelly. According to anonymous psychic experts, the set appears to have an inordinate amount of “change and death cards”.
