Pros who were "Cancelled"

[teeroi]

I ran into Sage Ericson in the Emma Wood upper lot one afternoon checking the surf. She said she wasn't allowed to surf the Rincon Classic because WSL would let her. Meanwhile Connor, Killian etc are winning the event year after year. It doesn't make too much sense.

The IPS/APS/WSL and the ISA are about control. They don’t want their top athletes diluting the brand by surfing non-sanctioned events. I was pleasantly surprised WSL let John surf the Da Hui Backdoor Shootout. They haven’t in the past. Be interesting to see if they’ll allow John and Kelly to surf the next time the Eddie runs.

Don’t know crap about golf but it seems older surfers do it. The PGA and that new organization backed by Saudi oil money seem to be having that issue.

The suits have done this to every pro sports league.

Zekely always acted like a rich kid, over claiming kook. The "national champ" in his ig bio is hilarious. I realized he was very monied a few months ago when Parker Coffin posted from some plush La Jolla joint with him and saw the retreat, early in on La Jolla real estate, deal.. His STAB "I surf with a probation ankle bracelet" schtick was just enough of a draw to get him going on this whole "J.O.B. Poopie crap". Jamie Obrien always got a pass because of his undeniable talent. This guy just does airs in little waves.

Conner and Parker seem like alright guys considering their Oprah & Prince Harry Markle, trips to Tavi since they were in diapers, zip code.

At the time, not pros.
Gerlach was "doing business under the Huntington pier" and was cancelled by the NSSA, worked out pretty good for him.

Then the two guys with fake grades, Ted Robinson and Kelly Gibson? They also seemed to do better without NSSA.

Proof surfing was full of homophobes in the 80s.

 

[SurfFuerteventura]

80's Poof Surfing and the Full Up Homo Phobes, name of a possible boy band?

Anyone? Anyone?

Chris 'Davo' Davidson.

Senor Sopa was implying that Gerr was slinging sacks under the pier as a kid.
Casa mistook "under the pier" as gay talk.

Davo had a problem with the drink

you know what they say about homophobes

 

[silentbutdeadly]

this explains why they never let SBD into contests

zeke

love the fact that he is balding rapidly

Holy sh!t that was scary.

Be careful of the homosexual, one never knows where he may be hanging out.....

Mentally ill.

Oh brother.

It's pretty funny. I actually watch some of his vids cause it's so cheese dick. Like a 15 year old kid from the 909 made surf videos. Pretty classic that the other dudes in the stab highway just make fun of him.

Oddly ironic considering many Hollywood producers are gay, pedo-groomers or are sexual deviants willing to lock a woman in a room and jerk off onto a plant in front of them.

 

[BaliIdiot]

...are gay, pedo-groomers ...

FFS stop with this nit witted hysteria, everyone knows the only pedo groomers are the Catholic Church.

Butt what a boot those pizza ordering fellows?

Sounds about right. Guy is seen as so entitled.

I met a CPA a couple months ago whose firm works with a lot of wealthy San Diego families. Was pretty interesting. He said they notice the 2nd generation usually does alright with the money and if not building the fortune, at least maintaining it. The problems usually come with the 3rd generation who squander it with unchecked spending, and terrible investments / business opportunities. He said it’s amazing how quickly they can blow what took the grandparents so long to build up.

I see this all the time with family owned rep firms. Grandpa worked to the grave building up a solid business. Son/Daughter does a good job continuing the growth. 75% of the time, this is where the wheels fall off. Either the grandchild could care less about the business and views it as a never ending cash register or is too lazy to put in the work and sells out to highest bidder. That 25% that successfully carries on the family tradition is a rare breed and usually great to work with.

Didn't Zeke Lau get cancelled, or at least semi-canceled for his unsocial behaviour, the most recent example being kicking his board at a fellow competitor during a free surf?
