Love 'em and leave 'em.
Currently, things could not be going worse for the World Surf League and its relationship with Lower Trestles. Its 2024 Championship Tour season is limping into San Clemente with a forecast so dismal, so sad, that even its forecast partner Surfline is having trouble mustering enough energy to actively lie.
Making matters even more troubling, after three years spent touting the “skate park” as the best place on earth to crown surf champions, the WSL recently pivoted away, deciding next year’s champions at Fiji’s Cloudbreak.
If that was not abusive enough, the “Global Home of Surfing” has just dropped its hottest swag yet, a stone grey hooded sweatshirt with the WSL logo big at the top, a list of its favorite waves underneath.
Banzai Pipeline, Oahu, Hawaii
Sunset Beach, Oahu, Hawaii
Supertubos, Peniche, Portugal
Bells Beach, Australia
Margaret River, Australia
Teahupo’o, Tahiti.
That’s it.
That’s all.
No Lower Trestles, San Clemente, California even though it hosted the inaugural Finals Day and the subsequent two.
Even though small wave wizard Filipe Toledo was crowned twice upon the cobbled stone.
Even though former and disgraced CEO Erik Logan changed the spelling of great to gr8 on Cair Paravel’s stage.
Absolutely cold blooded and Cloudbreak, Tavarua, Fiji should take note of how the World Surf League treats its exes.
Like trash.
Like worse.
I thought for sure there would be some bagel bites
BG has a lunch room?? What’s on the menu for Finals day??
oh, he’s great though. I actually hope he forgets to take his medication more often and we see more frequent below the line screeds out of him.
Seeing how it’s a tranny in CTsV avatar pic (check out that bulge), his/her/it’s message may be more subtly nuanced than you think.
At least they stuk with Supercloseouts!!
Fun fact, Lower Trestles is in San Diego, not Orange County.
Fucking suck it OC, the 619 always represents:

Dickheads at the wozzle are really pushing the creative boundaries with this offering. Bet they want $75 for this pile of shit too
What an inspired design choice for a hoodie.
Designer: ‘Basically we just copy and pasted an incomplete tour schedule and dropped it straight into the back panel. That will be $40,000 thank you’
WSL: ‘Brilliant. We will get the payment across as soon as we finish harvesting Dave Prodan’s kidneys.’
I’m sure it’s no coincidence that the designer is Erik Logan’s very own World Screen printing Logos, Inc.
They thought it out Chas, cause If they did, It would read like the old t shirt:

Who’s going tomorrow? And is my #1 fan going to say hi to me at Uppers that morning? Will he try to give me kisses?
More questions than answers. Actually, 100% questions.
Looks like a hidden policy agenda. Very original.
even more egregious Chas,
Did you not see the slap directly to the face of our golden boy of bad chin hair, John John Florence?
In the WSL email promo this very morning:
WSL FINALS YELLOW ALERT
TUNE IN FOR THE CALL
……followed by a list of cities and times to watch in these cities:
Los Angeles, Costa Rica, New York, Rio de Janeiro, Western Australia and Sydney.
Something missing? the home of the mens yellow jersey holder? that small island nation in the middle of the Pacific Ocean………where surfing was born?
Do they not want us to watch as the judges rob JJOHN blind?
Very off-putting!
what’ll be hilarious is we get some fog that doesn’t burn off until 11 a.m., they can’t run it that day, and they run it later in the waiting period in 1-2 foot surf
With the hot temps on forecast major fog possible
if the humidity is high enough, it’s absolutely gonna happen with these projected temperatures.
Did they hurt your fweelings?
Forget Trestles
What about Brazil ?
Methinks there’ll be more than a few protests about why they’ve been ignored !
Though probably less from Honduras or Guatemala (or wherever it is they hold the mid-Merican comp), and the Fijians probably don’t care…
This^
Obviously racism, Brazil-hate, etc.
