A league of their own.
Toward the end of last week, surf fans became very excited when learning the planned World Surf League slogan for the upcoming 2024 Championship Tour season would be “All action, no lulls.” The phrase, ludicrous when applied to competitive professional surfing, gave hope that even without the ruthlessly fired CEO Erik Logan, the “global home of surfing” would continue to be a big ol’ silly goose.
Alas, might another “agenda” be in play?
For an eagle-eye’d Belgian surf fan reached out after listening to the chat about “all action, no lulls” on the weekly Grit! episode and responded, “I couldn’t help but smile when you (David Lee Scales) and Chas discussed ‘all action, no lulls.’ You mentioned ‘lull’ sounds a bit ugly. Well, here’s a fun tidbit for you: in Flemish, the word ‘lull’ actually means ‘dick.’ So, ‘all action, no dicks’ sounds seriously bizarre.”
Very bizarre unless one considers the World Surf League’s primary aim over the past few years.
Equality in pay, equality in waves, equality in opportunity.
All extremely wonderful but what if this equality is pushed to its logical conclusion, banning all men?
Might this be what is happening, the slogan a rallying dogwhistle?
Oh, I wouldn’t be that angry, frankly, if there were simply two women’s divisions and no men’s on the Championship Tour. The greatest stories, upcoming, are Molly Pinklum, Sierra Kerr, Caity Simmers, Carissa Moore and the unbearable weight of Tyler Wright’s massive talent.
So long, dicks.

“So long, dicks.”
So long dicks
So long lulls
Ah yes. I agree.
“All action, no dicks” best type of porn!
Chicks sans dick’s. Dez sad face xox
Stockholm Syndromes-Affected Kids’ call home
“All dicks no action” is far far better !!!
It just screams Team America farce all around
Can some that knows how to Photoshop get a photo of 4, 5 tour surfers hanging around in the competition area and draw flaccid pink penises on them? Please!
Any loosely or otherwise held notion or belief that next year’s wsl will be an improved version is delusional optimism or something to that effect lol.
ur in-charge-of-the -unifroms
So when a the ocean goes flat for awhile, is a Flemish surfer in the middle of a dick?
a by-goner’s memory. the local boyz crew during a lull would scream at the top of our lungs: “The ocean is a pussy…” If we had let women in the water, they would have screamed: “The ocean is a dick.”
Company meeting- “What is one of our products biggest weaknesses?”
“Well there can be a lot of lulls between waves ridden”.
“Ok then, how’s this for a new slogan ‘All action, no lulls’ “
“Sounds great! Done! Problem fixed!”.
Don’t call me a dick ya cunt.
embarrassed to admit that I have yet to see a podcast plug coming — start reading the article, no idea that’s where it’s headed, and then BAM, like a rogue set suddenly and unexpectedly feathering way out the back — it’s a pod plug. It’s genius, in a twisted sort of way.
Dicks for “clicks”…aka “dickbait”
In other news, Saquarama, although very dicky, is kinda pumping.
camera angles and lulls coming in from all directions…a veritable washing machine.
“….. the unbearable weight of Tyler Wrights massive talent to bore the world stupid with her half-arsed personal anecdotes.”
There, finished that for ya, Chas.
The irony is a good dick would probably help her
