"There’s one girl out there that opens your magazine and says, ‘She’s doing it. I can do it.’”
Sasha Jane Lowerson is a household name throughout this, our small and ofttimes backward surfing community. The celebrated transgender surfer, who was one of Australia’s leading male longboarders, even winning the men’s longboard division as Ryan Egan before transitioning four years ago and joining the women’s side of the draw, has crushed all-comers since. Lowerson has won many fans through her dominance, but also a small handful of detractors who question the fairness of it all.
Well, in a stunning new Rolling Stone profile, the strawberry blonde delivers bombshell after bombshell, detailing her wild journey. Amongst the most surprising bits, Sasha Jane Lowerson…
-Finds California much more supportive than Australia, declaring, “Even the middle-aged cis white guy [here] accepts me in the water. Whereas, generally, in Western Australia, it’s the polar opposite. Hopefully it changes.”
-Is a design genius, shaping a board called the “Shrimp Taco” which can “support a 250-pound rider and fits in the average car trunk.”
-Calls Rip Curl pulling its controversial ad featuring her “The biggest load of bullshit ever.”
-Is penning a memoir about the wild 1990s surf industry boom.
-Hopes to encourage others along the way, saying, “There’s one girl out there that opens your magazine and says, ‘She’s doing it. I can do it.’”
The thought of anyone, much less a young girl, finding a physical copy of Rolling Stone and being even remotely interested enough to open it is the kind of pie in sky dreaming that allows humanity to reach its perpetually new heights.

Yeah these clever pithy so called writers couldn’t make the grade at the New Yorker the Atlantic or rolling Stones so I guess us regular surfer who just want to read surfer stuff has to endure the agonizing gobblegook
Surprised they didn’t find a way to pass Kelly Slater in this article while they’re slinging this lie
Typical beachgrit propaganda agenda driven untruth men cause playing as women in any sport is highly frowned upon and has no regard I stand for real women’s rights not men playing dress up

I think it’s acceptable to sit down and fart, regardless of pronoun.
Good on Sasha-Ryan, let him get his bag. Pun intended. It’s a rough world, hard to get paid, you got have an approach or some say an angle.
He was winning and not getting enough attention. So now they them thiz can still win and get that attention his mum and dad didn’t give him.
The feminizing procedure when are the results supposed to be apparent? https://media0.giphy.com/me…
Thanks for the link to the full article Chas, instead I think I’ll call my ex-wife and let her remind what a piece of shit I am.

Too much cheese on her tacos I’d say
But has she really crushed all comers? This is the first I’ve heard of it…
Did the interviewer ask him if he still stands up to piss?
I for one grow weary of this topic, and leave it up to the women’s rights activists. They will set it straight. Rest assured, rest easy…I have been told to be sure to stand and piss. It’s good for the prostate, apparently.
Someone needs to invite some kooks from the inertia or it’s getting boring.
I was beginning to believe Sasha was a fictional character created by DR, kind of like DR’s own little Kilgore Trout…..then when I saw that Sarah Brady commented on her instagram, and I’m now convinced.
Sasha is a 3D AI bot.
like keyser Soze?
More like Tyler Durden.

Clint says funnier stuff for real. He’s more subtle.
Nobody really cares if he wants to surf somewhere. SoCal breaks offer equal opportunity hatred whenever there are more than 3 people out at a spot.
He sounds like he has Main Character Syndrome.
