Hayes (right) and the big time.

Influential political writer lists former top Hawaiian pro surfer and RVCA co-founder Conan Hayes as one of 30 mysterious unindicted co-conspirators in Trump election saga!

"Minor celebrity" turned major.

Former top Hawaiian pro surfer Conan Hayes is, now, clearly the most interesting man born in our world. The onetime Momentum Generation star and co-founder of RVCA who sold his share to PM Tenore for $7.5 mil then became erased from the brand’s history, has been on a Kafaesque tear since spreading his wings and leaving the surf industry nest.

In 2015, Hayes was hit with grand theft charges by the Orange County DA, who alleged Hayes had committed short sale fraud against the Bank of America “by providing Bank of America with false information concerning his financial net worth, which was in the millions of dollars, in order to qualify for short sale relief.”

The charges were dropped two years later “among a myriad of scandals following the prosecution.”

Later, he opened a warehouse in Los Angeles that imported children’s toys.

Then, two years ago, he was introduced as a player in the Donald Trump election kerfuffle of 2020.

Per Vice:

In recent years (Hayes) has become somewhat of a minor celebrity in election fraud conspiracy theory circles, under his anonymous Twitter handle We Have Risen. He has worked on an election audit in Antrim County and has suggested on social media he was in Phoenix where the Arizona audit is currently taking place. He also has links to Doug Logan, the Cyber Ninja CEO who is currently running the sham audit in Maricopa County.

Further evidence that Hayes was the person who captured the images was provided by cyber security experts tracking this situation, who found Hayes’ initials in the downloaded files:

Clevenger confirmed to VICE News on Thursday that it was in fact Hayes who had provided the data from Mesa County to Watkins. What Clevenger, who represented the Seth-Rich conspiracy theorist Ed Buttosky, was not able to say for certain was if it was Hayes who also provided the video clip to Watkins, who Gerard Wood was, or if, as some open sources investigators tracking this situation believe, that Hayes and Wood are in fact the same person.

Well, that “minor celebrity” title has expanded over the years which includes costume changes, being on Trump’s legal payroll, using a fake ID to copy election software and other such star turns.

Now, it appears, he has arrived in the upper echelons of Trumpian fame. The influential political writer Seth Abramson, Harvard grad, former attorney, has dug through open source media and guessed the thirty formerly unnamed unindicted co-conspirators in the federal case against Trump and his election tampering.

Conan Hayes is either number 21 or 22.

The big time.

But where did it all turn for the man who once had it all?

Quite possibly Teahupoo, where our current crop of championship tour surfers find themselves at this very moment.

Per the Encyclopedia of Surfing (subscribe here):

Hawaii’s Conan Hayes got a pair of 10s in the (1988) final, and a 7 (it was best-three waves back then), but one of his 10s was so much better than anything ridden in the event that the number was meaningless. Koby Abberton meanwhile got two 9s and a 9.1, and won the event. People who were there still recall Hayes’ loss as the single most wrongful call in ASP history, made worse by the fact that Abberton (below), having necked a half-dozen Hinanos between the final horn and the presentation, galloped onstage, took the check, and bellowed out to the still-stunned gallery “Whoooooose the man?” Silence. ‘Whooooose the man?” Still no reply, so Koby helped out. “Me! I’m the man!”

Professional surf judges planting the seed of conspiracy.

On the plus side, and according to Vanity Fair, there is worry in Trump’s camp that one of the unindicted co-conspirators could flip. Per the piece:

The possibility that one of Trump’s former advisers could turn state’s witness and testify against either him or his aides or close associates is already apparent to the twice-impeached former president. This summer, Trump has asked some of his political and legal advisers to name who—especially among those investigated or questioned by the special counsel’s office—they believe to be the most “vulnerable” and likely to crack under pressure from prosecutors, according to two people who’ve heard him ask about this.

What do you think the Justice Department would offer Hayes for some damning testimony?

Quiksilver?

A major come up.

More as the story develops.

It’s dang sad when surfers align themselves with mainstream media and politicians. It wasn’t always this way.
Trump may be vulgar, crude, and disruptive, but I’ll take that over the mainstream any day, particularly when institutional corruption is what he’s disrupting. The DoJ, FBI, and CIA protecting Biden from prosecution in light of obvious malfeasance–again, testimony of Hunter’s business partners–shows how far we’ve sunk.

Of course they have, but everything Republicans have done dating back to Lincoln–including Trump’s silliness–pales next to Joe, Hunter, and Jame’s Biden selling Joe’s influence to the highest bidder.
But don’t take my word for it, just listen to the Biden’s hand-picked former business partners, Archer and Bobulinski. Their claims are corroborated by Hunter’s laptop emails.
Trump’s goofiness makes him an easy target, but for genuine corruption nothing touches the Bidens.

Dunno if CH ever had a WSL jersey but surely it would be more appropriate to give him that as his indictment number instead of just randomly giving him 21 or 22.
I mean, come on folks.

A few people on this site could be in the 20s, too. Hope Conan has better lawyers than Trump. Should have taken his RVCA bucks, invested it, and lived the surfing dream. May have a lot of time in a cell to think about his stupidity and life choices.

So the difference between a surf writer and a surf journalist is the latter doesn’t proof read what he publishes?

The comp was in 1998 not 1988 Chas.

The indictment is a charging document. Allegations. Absolutely ZERO evidence is presented because it has not been entered into evidence after any challenges.
Trump doesn’t have to prove his innocence. The DA has to prove his guilt
The fact the indictment was leaked and posted on the court clerk website, no matter what bs spin they try to put on what happened there, is conclusive proof the Grand Jury rubber stamped the Draft. The DA knew what she was going to get from the GJ because for fuck sake, it’s Atlanta.

Why you always defer and use the “a democrat did this” argument? It’s fucking weak ass at its core. We aren’t talking about Biden, Obama, Gore, Clinton. It’s about Trump. Stop excuses his actions by making random accusations against dems.

Conan may have taken a wrong turn but after the way he got screwed by ASP, RVCA and the OC District Atty his conspiracy paranoia is understandable. Was always a incredible generous deep thinker and dedicated family man. Hope he comes thru this election BS.

The DOJ would offer nothing bc this is a State case.
A weak case that only serves to interfere with the 2024 election bc this GA case, if resulting in conviction will be overturned on Appeal. The rabid partisan DA cannot prove Trump’s mental state that “he knew he didn’t win and tried to overturn it anyway”. Won’t happen. But that’s not the point. Trump had a bonafide belief that he won if not for the mail-in ballot fraud.

They also don’t get that it is a Grand Jury of citizens selected at random from a fair cross section of the community in the district in which the grand jury convenes. 40% white 42% black in Fulton county Georgia.
And that the decision to indict is based on the Evidence presented.

It is not up to a single judge or DA.
This was built into the judicial system to ensure that the government does not issue false charges against a defendant .

It’s just hard to swallow that there was nothing wrong with any of the actions being carried out when there are so many indictments falling. Maybe 1 or 2 of the charges could be dismissed as incorrect but close to 80 charges leads the unbiased mind to the conclusion that at least some are true.
