Thanks for being an awesome ProHo in mine (and proho's) absence Sponge!

I'm only interested in watching highlights from this event.
IMO, the the logistical format is perfect for a slew of ads and vapid interviews

Though, I have a question: At every CT stop, they seem to be doing "activations", ie: they participate in some sort of charity work.

What do you think the Activation will be in Lemoore?

Bring water to the immigrants picking berries? Change the filters in the pool? Serve drinks to the crowd?

They plan on giving back to the US of A by walking the tarmac at Naval Air Station Lemoore to look for Foreign Object Debris (FOD). Only US citizens will be allowed so it is unclear whether Tatiana and Kanoa will be able to participate.

They must be hurting for ticket sales because I keep seeing them post on social media trying to entice people to come to the event.

Forecast not looking good, especially with those onshore winds and that freezing water temp!

Nyet.

I’ll watch for free, that’s shameful enough for me.

 

[Boneroni]

I mean, if it was next door to my house, yeah, I'd pay $40 to check it out. But take a trip to Lemoore? Hard pass.

Heck no. I'd love to surf it but no way would I pay to watch other people surf it. If I want to see some of the world's best surf I'll book a flight and paddle out at Lowers on a good day and odds are some of those guys will be in the water if there isn't an event elsewhere.

I've heard radio ads for this thing.

They must be desperate.

 

[menobrah]

Theyve put eggs in baskets and now the chickens come home to roost...would love to see the lack of interest in the surf ranch sink the wsl somehow.

Maybe they’ll spend a few hours pumping flood water.
