"She is a big pop star from England while Armando's whole life is based here in Playa Hermosa."
While celebrations continue to rock Rio in the wake of a stunning MEO Rip Curl Pro Portugal finals day featuring not one, but two, Brazilian surfers, the rest of the tour is moving on, quickly, to El Salvador and its magnificent mega-prisons freshly stocked with Venezuelan bad boyz.
Central America’s “Little Thumb” is a fine country, indeed, featuring a pleasant tropical climate, dynamic sunsets, warm pupusas and a low cost of living allowing even lower-middle class World Surf League Championship Tour participants to live lives of luxury. The perfect place to bring the wife or girlfriend for a romantic getaway whilst still on the clock?
No.
For just south of El Salvador is Honduras, just south of Honduras is Nicaragua and just south of Nicaragua is Costa Rica where the world’s sexiest surf instructor is officially single and ready to mingle.
We first learned of Armando Perez when songstress Shakira was suffering a broken heart. The handsome blonde reignited her passion before working the same magic on the chanteuse Ellie Goulding. The two were regularly snapped by local paparazzi surf instructing, being surf instructed and otherwise being cute for many months.
But, alas, according to the august Daily Mail, the affair has ended.
The 37-year-old singer then repeatedly jetted out to see her toyboy lover in the following months – but now their fling has finally fizzled out, say friends. One said: ‘Amando and Ellie were very attracted to one another. Despite the age gap, they struck up an instant chemistry when he gave her private surfing lessons. ‘They soon formed a bond and loved spending time together – Ellie loved hanging out on the beach with Armando to get away from everything that was going on back home after her marriage had come to an end. They had a very special time together and she visited the country a lot.’But they are from very different backgrounds. She is a big pop star from England while Armando’s whole life is based here in Playa Hermosa. He loves it here and I doubt he would have any plans to leave.
Which brings us back to our WSL WAGs. Would they be able to withstand the Tico Temptation?

Derek, you also teach surfing besides being the world’s sexiest surf writer? Tough life.
some guys might never get laid were it not for the old “teach you how to surf” gambit. That, and the G major, D major, C major chord progression on an acoustic guitar gambit.
Whatever it takes, right? As long as no one is getting hurt. Even surf bums and shitty guitarists with no funds need to get laid as well.
well, it’s way more above board than Cole Houshmand/Andrew Tate method where you lure them with fraudulent representations, drug them, and hold them captive.
He’s just a miseducated and foolish kid from Southern California, brought up on meme culture.
To equate that with him committing sexual assault is too harsh. I can see why you guys are upset but no need to make up stuff about what he may have done.
let’s wait until he actually makes a mistake before we start to tar and feather him
I think we can start the tarring and feathering process based purely on his poor taste in maxims on wetsuits. https://uploads.disquscdn.c… ENJOY THE PROCESS
FEAR IS A LIAR
GUT FEELINGS ARE GUARDIAN ANGELS
MOISTURE IS THE ESSENCE OF WETNESS
he did make a mistake though, and for that reason, he’s gonna get roasted until he issues an apology and/or provides a credible explanation.
If you ever see DR in person none of these are issues. I imagine he has had his choice every night from age 16 to today. Plus he’s smart as a whip to boot.
I was doing OK with I, V, IV chords, but it wasn’t until I threw in the VII, IV, I riff that my career in songwriting really took off. (Well that and using ChannelButt’s lyrics for ’10 Sock’…)
Locrian? You cheeky, jazzy bastard.
It was actually a flattened VII, for a minor scale, but I forgot that…
I thought up a new show to help boost the WSL ratings. Its called…. Real Sex Lives of the WSL brought to you by Head and Shoulders. Does Cole Houshmand demand his GF do the dishes before they go to bed? Does Jao Chianca have a no sex policy the night before heats? Are Griff/Ethan secretly coupling? Does Lakey get jealous when her hubby works on other athletes? Is Jack working on baby #2? Why hasn’t there been a rainbow wave since Tyler set the stage? Does Medina’s sheets have to be changed twice a day when staying at Ulu Watu surf villas? Is Italo’s GF’s nickname for him really the jack rabbit? All of this and more on this season of Real Sex Lives of the WSL.
pretty sure that Cole’s girlfriends live in a cage somewhere in Romania
I should have said does Cole let his GF out of the cage to do the dishes.
he’s a paragon of chivalry in that respect
What’s around his waist?
