"Seemed easy enough."
While the announcement of video game executive Ryan Crosby taking the reins of the World Surf League as new chief has barely begun to process, surf fans immediately became concerned for Erik Logan, wondering how the former big boss is faring. Logan’s Instagram account, a source of joy and accidental sexual harassment when he was in charge, was the first stop. Though he had darkened it for months directly after his brutal dismissal, the lights were turned back on not long ago as the Oklahoman pivoted to the inspirational speaking circuit.
Helping others turn their passion into their profession.
Logan’s response to the Crosby news, anyhow, a cryptic video of himself trapped in a closet, seemingly not pleased though also pleased enough to throw crying laughing emojis.
What could it possibly mean?
Logan, of course, went entirely unmentioned in the World Surf League’s official rolling out of its latest charge, owner-in-chief Dirk Ziff merely dropping, “We are thrilled to welcome Ryan Crosby as the new CEO of the World Surf League. Ryan’s exceptional track record across some of the most important media platforms, his authentic, approachable manner, and his genuine passion for surfing make him a great fit to lead the WSL into its next chapter of growth and innovation.
But we won’t forget Erik Logan, will we.
On that note, do you imagine Ryan Crosby will ring our ELo up and pick his brain? Get a little inside info? Borrow sitting champion Filipe Toledo’s chest?
He’d be remiss not to.

As usual beach grit doesn’t disappoint, more nonsense sensationalism … Logan is apparently cracked, I believe he’s mentally challenged by well, everything, hasn’t he done enough damage to our sport, our community, granted beach grit has not completed it’s reign of terroristic verbose mindlessness rhetoric but at least give us a break from Logans current events and public deconstruction.
We will never forget Erik. Never.
i heard some very disturbing rumors about medinas very dramatic reaction to a situation involving ELo in brazil, im concerned that beachgrit might actually be compromised because if cote knows then chas knows…
Fuck! The photo looks like a fag Ned Kelly. No offence to the Kelly family…
This whole thing just gets more and more bizarre. It really is the most intriguing thing happen in surf right now.
Canon fodder! Kirra Seale (married to the Busch Millions) replacing Devon Howard should tell you everything you need to know about the Worst Surfing League….
Can’t wait to see how
Authentic and Genuine
Improve pro surfing
whiffed on the golden opportunity to work Big Machine Records into this piece and really make it sparkle.
these clowns shouldn’t be referenced in regards to surfing, in any capacity
What makes you think that’s a closet? Have you been drinking early again?
I can lead a horse to water but can’t make her drink. You are going to have to click the cryptic video link yourself and see where the journey takes you.
anything smaller than 3x3m room is a closest no?
My cell is 8×3 pretty fucken good
If they want to increase viewership, hold all events in sizable world class waves. You could call it the “Grail Tour” or “Fantasy Wave League” or something.
Maybe “Dream Tour” would work unless someone already tried that.
The dream has been tried and failed. It’s no called the nightmare tour.
Ethan E on STAB today low key ripping the Trestles finish … says he remembers mick and Kelly and Joel winning their titles at Pipe, says Trestles is ‘good for the guys coming in fourth or fifth,’ and closes with ‘it’s the way it is for now though, and you just have to play the game.’
Or maybe ASP circa 2000
He looks like one of those Jan Sixers.
Probably a worst terrorist attack than
Nag ass aki. Worse than the Sari Club for sure but not as bad as the Lindt cafe siege in Sydney.
