Time for a digital wellness check.
The surf world has fallen into a deep funk and there doesn’t appear to be any end in sight. On June 26, 2023 then-World Surf League CEO was in Brazil, “reflecting on an incredibly rewarding journey with the WSL Academy,” taking his many social media fans for quirky behind the scenes tours. Shortly thereafter, fired. The World Surf League announced the move in the most terse press release ever, simply stating, “Erik Logan is no longer with the company.
He flew back from Brazil, at some point, and launched a third, or fourth, act as a motivational speaker after cursing at a John John Florence meet and greet.
Topics he is willing to discuss for a fee are:
-Riding the Waves of Passion and Profession: An unforeseen journey through Discovery, Loss, and Rediscovery
-Beyond the Degree: Life’s Unexpected Teaching on Success and Leadership
-The Art of the Turnaround: Lessons in Resurrecting Businesses and Cultures
An absolutely thrilling return to public life and yet his one-time portal to the wider world, the Instagram account @elo_eriklogan has remained dark.
The aforementioned surf world had hope, ten days ago, when extreme sport personality Selema (formerly Sal) Masekela made a stunning return to the platform. The 52-year-old was recently thrust into the spotlight when his beloved movie star girlfriend Lupita Nyong’o declared he had done her dirty, deleting every picture of the two of them dressing alike. Masekela quickly switched his Instagram comments off and went into hiding.
Thankfully, self love is abundant in his heart, and, days ago, the man who only uses superlatives to describe surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking came roaring back.
Single and Ready to Mingle
Again.
Ready to crush the back nine without any baggage save massive ego and humiliation.
The surf world immediately went to check on Erik Logan’s account, assuming his would be live too as Masekela had been publicly embarrassed by actual media instead of just surf media.
Still nothing.
Crickets.
How is he supposed to promote his speaking career? How is he supposed to get those endorphin spikes that Masekela is currently bathing in?
Is it time for a digital wellness check?
Someone?
Anyone?

Long Live Osama Bin Ladin…the last holy war will be between the evil Jews and the Muslim Caliphate. Islam will prosper and eliminate all the Kefirs.

Cue silence from those thhatttt know
I’m thinking about becoming a demotivational speaker. Giving speeches for people who can’t be fucked, but feel guilty about it.
Lupita: “no bulges in the right places…”
JMD: “an inappropriate bulge in the wrong place…”
location, location, location…timing, timing, timing…
This reminds me: is the WSL ever going to hire another CEO? Did I miss an announcement headline somewhere?
Cold Water Classic has hit a peak high tide 5.6’….-1.0 at 5PM East winds thru out today and manana. So…no work today.
maybe just clean out the rain gutters and place indoor plants outside. no need to travel to look for surf…just renewed my premium S-Line prescription. NoShore still has too much sand!
Investigative journalism at its finest.

The momentum is real.
speaking engagements?
Notknown reached out to Elo , and his abrupt responce was ” you cunts need me more than i need you ” goodbye.
Have some fun with that bitches.
Come on Chas, what did Elo do to be so suddenly cancelled? You must know, Derek is buddies with a lot of the top tier.
We hear he got creepy in Rio but spill the beans, you guys are meant to be hard surf candy so dish! It ain’t slander if it happened.
Plenty of rumours but no one is willing to put it in writing.
He was lucky to escape Brazil before he got arrested.
Do you still stand with Israel?

Ever had a pitcher of caprinha’s? They will make you do weird shit brah.
I’m curious how Swal turned the conversation in the gym to, “I KNOW KELLY SLATER, AND ONCE SAW ANDY IRONS”!?
Oh that’s his lead.
The metamorphosis is complete.

Almost a full wrap around

I reckon I spotted him down at the Corso in Manly sucking the farts out of dead seagulls
I haven’t heard that insult since i was about 16 😀
Good old Rodney Rude special
Chas did you get blocked again? Or did your boy Elo leave you hanging and not tag you. #snubbed
https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Not blocked! That’s how I can check multiple times a day!
He was always a bit slow …. and now he hasn’t got Slater to tell him what to do.
The real question is who did Sal cheat on his movie star girlfriend with?
Not another movie star, I’ll tell you that.
Which action sports athlete did he trick?
An action sport fan, I’d guess.
It took her 11 months to figure out Selema is a total phony? They are perfect for each other…
I heard it was Jessie Mylie F. Cyrus and Chumbo Chianca’s brother, at the same time…
on an island…in the dunes/
With a lead pipe? Or a candlestick? And was Colonel Mustard involved?
Maybe his movie star girlfriend wasn’t attending to his needs?
When I read the first few words of the headline, I thought that ELo had passed away, or even worse, been given his old job back by the WSL.
It’s been a hard few months for all of us.
Wrong…I could give a rats ass. But what do I know about what’s really going on….?
