Seven thousand American dollars and a fleet of Panda surfboards in winner-take-all bunfight!
You all know the stories of fans winning the Surfer or WSL fantasy surf leagues, beating thousands of other keen surfers, and then getting stiffed of their rightful loot.
Surfer wasn’t any better, said Starling, describing it as a “dead platform.”
(BeachGrit remedied that situation when we despatched to the former home of the Reich a package of t-shirts and air fresheners,.)
Last year, the Australian husband of Lakey Peterson, Thomas Allen, won the WSL’s Fantasy League, beating an astonishing 115,000 competitors. His prize? Allen said, “I might have to buy myself a trophy”.
And, so, this is why the surfer Taylor Lobdell created Surfival League a few years back. You probs know the game by now, but, if you don’t, it’s real easy.

Instead of picking a team you pick one surfer to advance past the round of 32.
If they advance, you advance. If they don’t, you’re out.
Ruthless!
And you can’t pick the same surfer twice.
Last man, or gal, gets seven thousand American dollars courtesy of BeachGrit and Taylor and three Panda surfboards.
Past winner of Surfival Fantasy Surf League include a construction worker from Colorado a butcher from Bondi and an Australia skipper.
This year, is it you?
Wanna put money where mouth is etc?
Twenty bucks.
We’ll be updating who’s in, who’s out, after each event.

I really enjoyed this game last year. I thought I had a chance still in it with two contests to go. Then I picked Jordy at JBay and… he did not make the quarters. Oh well. Try again this year.
Pro tip:
Pick Kelly for Pipe, keep all your top surfers for later in the year!
Time for me to dust myself off and talk some shit with all you little hussies
DLS is going to talk endlessly about this all year, despite not getting past the second contest
I don’t understand any of it but here’s my picks in order of operations:
Fast Edward
Shane Ochiluppos
Juliet Wilson
Kells (The Book of)
Kick Filipe
VF Corp.
Jordy Smith
The Mid-Year Cunt
Anyone named John
That guy with the hair. No, the other guy. Yeah him.
Debt collectors.
This game is awesome. I had it stitched up only to get screwed by italo at jbay or some such unlikely scenario that still haunts me.
I made it all the way to the pool then forgot to pick a team. That contest is a lock too.
Dude you need to stop drinking/smoking and posting. It’s getting out of hand, absolute nonsense today.
what he say? fish monger? collared him?
not that I like taking advice from an East Australian, but fair enough

you pissed cunt?
nada to load…only walkman. you cunts all look alike…black&blue…
just a job~
Ps, about time Joel put his money where his mouth is. The big wave thing threw me a bit but I’m guessing he’s ‘pivoted’ 🤷🏻♂️

I still don’t understand this.
Me either? You pick one surfer per contest but can’t choose again?
…ie, you don’t waste your pipe experts early, as then you’ve got nobody for chopes, and hold onto filipe as long as possible. It’s fun until you lose and then it’s gut wrenching.
So I’ve chosen Seth for pipe, as he’s a good bet I reckon, and maybe less fancied at the other breaks.
I didn’t think Negs was in the running.
I got it now. I think im in
It helps me remember why I don’t gamble or buy stock options.
Now are Panda surfboards on loan from China , and are they cute?
Back to woke and broke…….https://http://www.msn.com/en-au/sport/oth...
Ok. But I swear to god I’m not watching one minute of this shit. If we’re doing this, I’m doing it blind.
My psych suggested that I should refrain from commenting on the live feed for a change ……..
Lol jk, fuck that cunt
on his doodle pad he wrote: “Snap outta it~”
* “cunts fucked”
No women’s league? This reeks of the old status quo misogyny and patriarchy that plagues modern life. I’m in.
I’m not gay, but 20 bucks is 20 bucks
