    Kelly Slater - DONE

    Kelly Slater‘s "Legends of Surfing Tour" Presented by Kelly Slater, Outerknown and the World Surf League. Fixed it for you. Other sponsors would pile in - older baby-boomers are coming into their inheritances and are the richest generation in world history - their children are grown and out of...

    Kelly Slater - DONE

    Tommy Carroll would do well on this tour, now that he's off dope - and Brendan Margieson has been posting fantastic all rail, all the time carving clips of himself on his Album quiver boards.

    How Surfers Get Paid

    The fact is - if you are an attractive young female surfer, you can ride two-foot waves on a longboard and one or more companies will pay you to make video clips highlighting your "grace and style" - You cannot do that if you are a man - men actually need real surfing talent

    sea of darkness l copy

    Mike Boyum was actually a really bad drug smuggler - that's why we know so much about him and his criminal activities. The good drug smugglers, we don't know anything about them. They were very successful, left the business before getting caught and have enjoyed very nice lives for many decades...

    TENORE

    Yes, that's what I said. Endorsements are an extension of the Placebo Effect and a powerful one. Excellence goes beyond merely good and Genius hits a mark no one else can see. Like Michael Jordan, Lisa Andersen and Tom Curren.

    TENORE

    Endorsements are an extension of the Placebo Effect - and a powerful one. Michael Jordan has been retired from basketball for a decade or more. He has committed indiscretions in his personal and business affairs, yet his reputation as a winner is such that the Jordan brand makes millions for...

    TENORE

    Smart move to sign Lisa Andersen - fashion is temporary, class is enduring. Lisa will bring bedrock credibility to the brand, on both the women's and the men's side.

    Personally, no - but I did read somewhere that Florida produces more working strippers than any other state in the USA.

    No. Not my predilection at all. Becoming a transgender is a s very long, difficult and expensive journey - the people that do it must have a powerful motivation to do so, it would be too difficult (and expensive) otherwise.

    Sure - Rip Curl could focus their marketing on a heterosexual, married assistant manager at Burger King, male or female, unremarkable in any way other than they save their corporate bonus money from selling more burgers and fries every month to buy a new Rip Curl Steamer. No one would get upset...

    Selling more wetsuits to trans people is NOT the point of Rip Curl's marketing move - if they do, that's fine but the point is to present a trans person as someone who follows their muse, commits to being the best person they can be, lives their life as THEY want to live it, is committed to...

    Thanks for the verbatim shout-out :) "Brutus" is the pseudonym used by Maurice Cole, the shaper in case y'all didn't know.

    Yep - Rip Curl is getting a tremendous amount of attention for this issue - one thing corporations cannot buy, no matter how much money they spend on advertising; is ATTENTION. As Keith Richards was quoted "Say what you like about me - just spell my name right" Any publicity is good publicity...

    Surfing Liberia

    The hyena photo is most likely not in Liberia - Liberia is warm and wet, not a desert climate at all. The series of left points get bigger as you move around the headland, the end section near town can get quite hollow. Cotton Trees can be hollow as well, depending on the sand flow -

    Surfing Liberia

    I would not call Liberia a "nice place' like Costa Rica, Maldives or Tobago, but it definitely has character - great waves in Robertsport and elsewhere and west Africa will test your resolve and ingenuity in many ways. Isn't that what travel is supposed to do...

    erBB alumnus makes West OZ news for naughty behavior...

    A complete nutter - the situation asks the question: who let her into Australia in the first place, as they have strict criteria for admissions, even for USA passports.
