Big if true.
A year ago, from this very time, all was right in Erik Logan’s universe. The former Oprah Winfrey executive had graduated to his dream job atop the vast and important complex of competitive professional surfing. There he sat in the chief executive’s chair, giant photograph of Laird Hamilton hanging over head, all power and praise belonging to him. The Oklahoman with a magical wetsuit of armor was far from camera shy, enjoying being the face of the World Surf League, jokin’ and joshin’ and havin’ a good ol’ time (unless Conner Coffin happened to call and then he would, allegedly, spin into a rage, telling the universally adored Santa Barbaran “I will ruin you.”).
Then, like that, he was gone. The tour had landed in Brazil, Logan followed along, sharing behind-the-scenes footage on his robust Instagram account one day, fired in the most terse press release the next.
Effective immediately, Erik Logan is no longer with the company.
The World Surf League placed a cone of silence around its patented Wall of Positive Noise and no official reason was shared. Privately, some on tour whispered that Logan had made people “uncomfortable,” but nothing more.
Now, almost a year on, a potential reason has been revealed hiding in plain sight on the World Surf League’s own portal. Days ago, an eagle-eye’d citizen surf journalist Googled “Erik Logan” and underneath the official “Letter to the WSL Community from CEO Erik Logan” it read, “Erik Logan sounds like a colonist and is an embarrassment to the WSL and to our sport. WSL needs to take responsibility for its announcers…”
Boom.
And is that it? Was Logan forced out due to his “colonizer vibes?” It would make sense, seeing how he colonized Filipe Toledo’s naked chest.
What do you think Mitchell Salazar feels about that?

Logan definitely looks like he’s invaded a few colons
And bleached his own to appear more white
Very well baited. Chapeau Charles!
That’s a bald eagle. They’re just not big enough to pick up a small deer.
But golden eagles? Well, shit, those mf’s are big enough to grab small deer, goats, probably Kelly Slater, and know a thing or two about meat tenderizing.

Zero tolerance!!
that gal showing the bison her beaver…safe for work…
Conner’s Secret Turn?
Yes.
Tuna heart accompanied by a fistful of tuna meat is both refreshing and a rather suiting reward as lactic acid drains from your forearm.
Big game like elk, have eaten the heart at the site of field dressing. The risk of parasitic infection isn’t worth such a worthless story to tell people. Always carry a small caste iron skillet on hunts. Heart is always the first reward. Tastes too good to eat it raw, being needlessly chewy.
scanning for baitfish and de=frosted squid…olive oil.s low burn works fine…tuna can is in reserve…re: Memo to Scripps’ Museum of Scientology…FRAUDS! tuna is sustainable…
Its this kinda shit noted scientologist Tom Cruise should have been jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch for
stay in your lane and we’ll be fine…
My lane tells me to cheer for Florida Panthers. But then I see Edmonton Oilers have fans like this, and I think….that’s a good lookin lane over there

Elo-adjacent news: Nias is firing for the QS again this year. Flick would say “oh mah god, Kaipo, it’s absolutely pumping out there *giggle” and actually be right. The Dream Tour could’ve gone from left hand pumping Tahiti to perfect 5-8ft right hand walls in Indo. Instead they’re on hold in El Salvador praying for a window of contestable conditions for the 3rd time. Criminal negligence that this venue isn’t on the CT.
Mate the bad juju in Nias needs to get rolled out by small events first. Hopefully it’s karmic balance is near because the joint used to be fucked.
Xox
Yeah heard some shit stories of the joint
Oh, do tell
And kneeboarders
How does Mitchell Salazar feel about it? I’m gonna guess hungry.
The next time Mitch is full will be the first time.
Fuck Mitch,
What’s turbo tits McCord think?
As whinny as brazzo. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Even a broken clock… etc etc. Not an interference. Unless Joao wanted to go left, of course.
I agree. Matt still a whinny bitch though
All Salazar will be able to feel about it is its right here, right there, right now. That’s the sum total of his commentary on anything.
He should have been fired for posting his silly SUP clips at shitty closed-out El Porto daily.
Maybe now he’ll have more time to sit-down wing foil SUP with his bros.
The eagle has landed

I’m shocked, shocked, I say. Well, not that shocked.
If colonizer is somehow a euphemism for groping lecher then sure, Chas.
Time for Chas to spill the bone broth and tell the world exactly who’s bumhole Elo tried to finger
Was it Klohe!?!?
xox
2% of the k-hole is still 2%
Humboldt or Oregon or Chico?
salazar feels hungry after that, and logan is no kurtz.
he’s in the second wave of clergy, late to these new lands (surfing), beaming out missives of joy & salvation to the bishops cloistered in dark smoky rooms of the mother country
This comment got into my clothes like burn off smoke. I’ve been tainted
vainety of the bonfires. a wolf dropped aload on the neighbor’s walk. Twenty dog-walkers w/doggy bags passed in a row…wolf shit is still there..
