World Surf League Chief of Sport Jessi Miley-Dyer planning a coup?
And maybe I’ve been wrong all along. Here I was declaring the death of this current iteration of professional surfing. Revolt from within, rats jumping off from without, a CEO gone missing until just turning back up and making further uncomfortable physical contact with his employees, rumors of a sale to deep pocketed Saudis.
Done.
Except it seems I was sorely mistaken for news has just floated that an unsanctioned pop-up event celebrating the World Surf League’s Chief of Sport has been squashed by local police worried about crowd-size.
Per the Police’s Facebook account:
In anticipation of an unpermitted, unsanctioned pop-up event, “JDM Beach Day,” The Volusia Sheriff’s Office has designated an area where all laws and codes will be strictly enforced, fines will be doubled, and violating vehicles will be impounded. Those promoting this weekend’s event on social media have been identified, contacted, and advised of the ramifications of this disruptive, unpermitted event which strains public safety resources, interferes with traffic flow, and jeopardizes the public welfare.
But who could have ever guessed that Jessi Miley-Dyer had such a robust fanbase. Such an explosive fanbase. Such passionate supporters that will “strain public safety resources” and “jeopardize the public welfare.”
Certainly not me.
Also, who are “those promoting the event on social media?”
Stab?
Who else?
But the aforementioned CEO Erik Logan must be fearing for his job, no? Was Miley-Dyer planning a Wagner-esque coup for Florida whilst the Oklahoman was busy being “passionate?”
Impossible to know and, like the action in Russia, with whom is the general public supposed to side?
Oh.
It’s not “JMD Beach Day” it’s “JDM Beach Day” and JDM apparently stands for Japanese Domestic Motors.
Never mind.
As you were.

Im on the Slavs side
It originates from the Latin word for slave, Sclavus, which many were in the middle ages and is now culturally appropriated by Black seppos.

Its a fine establishment in which to be incarcerated.
That was like being in another country driving with no cell service and all of a sudden you realize you are right where you had originally started.
