"I love all the surfing movies, but I had no time growing up to surf."
But how do you feel, in general, about wrestling entertainment? I came of age in the 1980s when Hulk Hogan, Randy “Macho Man” Savage, Ric Flair, The Ultimate Warrior, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper et. al. were absolutely ruling hearts and minds. Each, of course, was styled in a particular way, appealing to a different fanbase. Piper wore a kilt, for example. Macho Man a throat cancer survivor. Hogan a cuckquean etc.
Well, I’ve mostly lost track of it all though am aware that the enterprise is bigger than ever with new stars appealing to even more fanbases including surfers.
Yes, Sol Ruca is for us, by us. The platinum blonde wrestles in a retro wetsuit bikini, Vans, throws shakas and surfs upon the backs of battered foes.
Shattered hearts, then, today when surfers learned that Ruca surfs poorly.
Sitting down with Busted Open Radio the 25-year-old shared, “I am not a great surfer. I can surf, but I’m not very good. I was born in Southern California. I love the beach, I have tattoos of sharks on my arm, I look the part. Lived in Hawaii for a few years. I’ve always loved surfing, I love all the surfing movies, but I had no time growing up to surf. I have never been like, ‘I’m a good surfer. I can surf.’ It’s always been them being like, ‘Oh, this is what she does.’ There’s one package I did and there is a video of someone surfing and I’m like, ‘that’s not even me.’ There is video of me surfing, but the wave was tiny.”
Here’s the package.
Does her truth telling make you like her more or does the ruse make you like her less?

Sol means Sun. Ruca or Rvca means fuck all, I think it’s the dog’s name from Sublime. Oh wait we’re talking about Chick not a Man. Ok it makes sense now. You’re welcome….
Waiting for My Ruca is a Sublime song, I think it’s Mexican slang for girlfriend?
So all those dudes rolling juijitsu wearing RVCA think you’re their Girlfriend?! I knew it!….
Paddles like a kook
Judges taking their time with this one, it’s gonna super-close.
Kanoa did a multitude of power hooks, got a 20 second barrel and then finished it off with an air 720… but Jack did 2 cutbacks, gosh.
And Robbo gets the nod!
You can’t script this!
To be fair, 99.9% of people who say they surf do not surf very good.
I’m part of the remaining 0.9%
And I math really good.
So… what are the current odds that she’s in the booth with Kaipo at Trestles, between June 9-17?
wow. she’s a switch stancer.
go figure
Errr, Chas, I think you meant to reference Randy “Machado Man” Savage…?
I’m in love. Her finishing move should be called the Poo Stance..
She does look the part, as witnessed in her finishing move.
she certainly nails the “Brazzo setting up for a air poo stance” thing
https://uploads.disquscdn.c… do I smell another socal lawsuit brewing?
I was going to take a stance and not comment on this worthless POS of a sharticle but, you brought me here JK. Whatever you are smelling likely isn’t a lawsuit as RVCA no longer exists. Liberated Brands, owner of RVCA, filed for Chapter 11 and liquidation I believe.
ya i dont think you can sue over an IG name anyways…its a joke
To be quite frank, I don’t know how you are so dismissive of WWE.
I liked it better when it was WWF. And I was about 14.
Nobody ever had a wank over hulk hogan
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaagreeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
