"Never go full...."
It is officially September, now, the month that the World Surf League celebrates its annual final’s day there on Lower Trestles’ cobbled stone. Opinion on former CEO Erik Logan’s attempt to drum of a false sense of excitement at the end of a long season is still mixed. The first year saw fun surf and… to be honest I can’t really remember. The second year saw an absolute robbery of Carissa Moore and Filipe Toledo proving that guts ain’t necessary.
This year?
Who knows though the World Surf League is commemorating it with the release of embarrassingly childish, ludicrously dumb limited edition fan gear.
The t-shirts, already ugly, are smeared with different random slogans.
Griffin Colapinto’s reads “Bring it home.”
Ethan Ewing’s, “Aussie Aussie Aussie.”
Joao Chianca’s, “Cold blood warm heart.”
Jack Robinson’s, “Jack’s Back.”
Filipe Toledo’s, “Caramba, estou com medo de coral.”
On the women’s side we have Tyler Wright’s, maybe the laziest, reading “#Go Tyler.”
Caroline Marks’s, “Caroline all the way” even though “Sweet Caroline” would be the obvious choice.
Molly Picklum’s even lazier than Tyler Wright’s, with a “#Go Molly.”
Caity Simmer’s, “Toast ’em.”
And poor Carissa Moore will be forced to see fans wearing “Go for Moore.”
Seriously, who came up with this?
Logan’s final gift?

Filipe “Poco no problemo” Toledo
“You look like a Chris”

Anyone wearing one of these deserves a punch in the face
$78 Aussie dollars + Shipping.
Almost $90 for a tshirt !
I can buy 4-5 billabong Costco shirts for the same price !
Those billabong shirts aren’t made of polyester though are they? WSL in fairness to them are doing their bit to contribute to plastic pollution! We might have a competition held on the giant garbage patch yet!
“World Surf League”….the name says it all. Trying to turn something inherently cool into a ‘ball sport’. Thanks Dirk Ziff
The League of woke gentlemen!
Flip likes when it’s 20,000 leagues under the knee-ankle high

Pips should say “I surf small waves”
