Play amazing games, win amazing prizes!
We are now, officially, in the year 2024 and the beginning of the World Surf League’s new Championship Tour Season is… still a whole month away. While billing itself the “global home of surfing,” the League has done… poorly in providing wall-to-wall entertainment for starving surf fans. No Barefoot Wine pre-game mixers. Zero “scenes from behind the Bailey’s Ladder.”
Sad.
Thankfully, we have Rip Curl.
Even though the Torquay-based wetsuit snd soft-goods maker sold to Kathmandu five-ish years ago, it very much maintains its core roots and, seeing depressed surf fans staring mournfully at the air, released the funnest, most whimsical new game “Is it Mike Pence or is it Mick Fanning?
Large blowup dolls are being strategically placed in surf fan-rich locations wearing a wetsuit, holding a board. A table is set up outside with two stacks of notecards. One reads, “This is former Vice President of the United States Mike Pence.”
The other reads, “This is three-time surf champion Mick Fanning.”
Surf fans are allowed to study the effigy from all angles, though not allowed to touch, pick one of the cards then drop it into a Dominion Voting System.
The winner, selected by the State of Michigan’s election team, will receive a pair of Klly Turtle Moons.
Good luck.

Don’t know who is it, but it definitely has string attached…
JFK, JJF, Maritime Museum archives before ROXY and after wife…who’d you screw?///https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx….
Is that intended to make any sense whatsoever? And lets hope that’s not a pic of you, its very Ashton Gargleballs like to post pictures of yourself surfing, especially that pic.
beautiful wave, clearly just setting up the barrel section.
not me. but the very elusive Surflineman…shown here for the very first time. who’d he screw to get into this secret spot?
Yes, that’s right, thx-

vote for Charles webster baer
Wacky wavey inflatable arm tube man!
That would be Mikey February.
Neither
It’s Bill Clinton showing his saxy surf style to young island girls…
Yep, pumped up on adrenochrome
It could also be Putin. Putin, Pence, and Mick Fanno all look kind of related.
Same with the psycho from Silence of the Lambs.
I don’t know about any of that shit but I do know the Backdoor Shootout is on and it is far more interesting and relevant. Looks like a building swell and glassy right now. Chuck a live thread up or something and we can shit talk about actual surfing.
These fuckin Trump supporters voted for this dude–he calls his wife “mother”. Now there’s a guy I’d love to have a few beers with.
The blowup dolls I’ve seen usually have wide open mouths…
Baileys ladders were filming behind the scenes content for WSL with Callum Robson a few weeks ago. Expect big things from the ladder of choice this season !
Sounds like we need a Chas-penned rumor of the probable story-board for the ad.
Ewwgene
Clearly hurting for content, if the fall of the WSL is any indication of where this sport is headed, you should probably shore up a pool cleaning job while you can, Chas-ster. Not going to be many “pro” surfers to poke and prod in the coming months/years for you and your schtick.
It’s amazing how easy it is to spot Ashton Gargleballs lovers on here.
Liking your own comment is pretty special Ashton.
That’s Mike Hunt.
Could be Mike Hawk.
Mike M?
Ho Brah, Backdoor shootout on but waves no geevum.
No live comment section here, don’t wanna stir up the wolfpak (sp).
Your pidgin sounds more authentic than those clowns in the booth.
New game, is it Donald Trump or Otto Been There?

Either way, it’s the guy not paying rent for space in your head
Just laugh a little sometimes. Life’s too short
I was laughing, just not with you.
You are more than welcome to laugh at me, as long as you’re laughing.
I aim for laughs.
Not my fault the Pauly gay brigade gets hurt feelings
Ah yes, sums up the entire year ahead of us. Good times.
