It puts the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again...
This morning started off with a bang. The World Surf League Championship Tour, as you know, is in Lemoore, California, home to Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch and its eponymous Surf Ranch Pro and oooooee. The sun is shining, temperature a balmy 80 degrees Fahrenheit, cow stink juuuuuust right. Jen See is there, checked in to the Tachi Palace and ready to report. World Surf League CEO Erik Logan is there too, wearing the nude breast of sitting World Champion Filipe Toledo and grinning ear to ear.
Shades of that wonderful Buffalo Bill.
Or Buffalo Fil, as it were.
In any case, what was likely intended to be a bit of zany fun between two surf guys just doin’ the banter has since devolved into a case of accidental sexual harassment in the workplace. Logan, you see, is Toledo’s superior, his boss, and there he stands over him wearing his own lotion’d flesh ordering the slight Brazilian to “take your shirt off.” Repeating in case the order wasn’t clear.
“Take your shirt off.”
Toledo is not just any employee either. He is famously sensitive, very much not liking heavy drops etc. and here he is taking his shirt off after a powerful man has told him to do such.
Yikes.
But what are your thoughts, here? All innocent fun or waiting upon some legal this and that?
Also, if Toledo would have refused to take his shirt off, would he have gotten the hose again?
More questions than answers.
