If Pipe and Sunset weren’t the first and second events, Barron would not stay on this tour.
Your onto something with JRobbo I sense it’s now all about meeting his contractual KPIs and $$$$ associated, ie setting up his family.
Wrong. The best surfer is the one having the most fun 🏄♀️🏄🏻🏄🏻♂️
What if your having the most fun by dropping in on everyone?
Then you would be the best surfer in the world. Only if it was the most fun you were having
Not as one-eyed as Derek Hynd
You had me at “Ferreira Files”
Sooo good!
That was Gold Karl… fucking GOLD!
Brown Gumby Lol!
The journey is the reward
I wonder if Callum regrets not signing with the Mad Doucheys? You can’t let pride get in the way of free money. Here is to hoping he wins another yeti cooler his GF can put on FB marketplace.
You nailed it on the Kade real estate agent. Still trying to figure out who is taller him or Eli.
Short people are annoying
When ever one is annoying me I just pat them on the head and say there there now.
I had a little person, midget, whatever try to fight me in a pub once. I was holding a pool cue, so doubly stupid on his part. I just put my hand on his head and held him back.
I thought you said Deivid Silva was a cool dude?
Thanks, man. Appreciate the overly kind words.
Good one Karl – So you’re saying Florence wetsuits are made of nepo prene ?
Jake Marshall 4th, Medina 20th. Tennis tour transition complete.
Good stuff. Made me laugh.
Nice work Karl, thanks. I’m theorizing that you may be bi-cultural Oz & yank because you use Americanisms like “goober” and know that 100 year old president Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer, yet you also use words like “mate” a lot. Well, at any rate, I do look forward to the next installment of Ferrari files!
Standard dumbass American, unfortunately.
Then keep Imaikalanidevault’s name out of your mouth!
no way!
Much like out ole pal DR is wont to do, what the fuck is with the links to articles behind a paywall?? And The NY Times at that? The most physically cumbersome, and intellectually stifling rag on the planet?? Be better.
all going so well … and then the Nate F slander. Slab Tour star role would be a win even if his last name was Smith.
Sure, but that theoretical Slab Tour would never have been a possibility without John being the best surfer in the world whose omnipresence the last 24 years in surf has worked to bolster all associated figures (like Pyzel).
No one would watch if his name was Florence but he was doing cute little turns at trestles. He put in the work and it has paid off.
