All true. I’dd only suggest that keeping a 40 year old woman who doesn’t post surf pics anymore isn’t indicative of a brand that gets it.
Maybe it just depends on what you think “it” is.

What is the value of 10% of Kelia Moniz's prior contract?

What, specifically, was silly about it?
The era of of every other surfer getting paid big bucks to promote clothing is over, if you're not doing your job to rep a brand nobody is going to give you the time of day.
Kelia decided to become every other surfer. Her brand promotion for Roxy was minimal to nil. She was instead promoting her own brand and her own clothing boutique. Her newer image (urban fashion/streetwear) became about as far away from Roxy as you can get - she traded bikinis for NY Jets jerseys and Hawaii for Hollywood.
Here's Steph Gilmore's insta:
and here's Kelia's
Bullshit.
She had a very high level position in my spank bank. I've posted her photos here many times. That's why it was so disappointing to see her Insta go a different route.
Interestingly enough looks like over the past couple days she's started posting bikini pics and surf stuff again. Hmmmm.
Dumb to not even realise how to understand how to keep her bread buttered.
Does she not have managers, anyone who could tell her the tiny amount of work she needed to do to keep her sponsors happy?

For this go around it probably didn’t matter. They gave her an offer they knew she would refuse. It’s a mean old world out there.
EG: "hey Kelia, your last 500 insta posts had nothing to do with surfing- think you could go surfing get some shots and tag Roxy?"
"it's been a while".
"it's been a while".
She’s got two kids and is in her mid 30’s, Roxy wasn’t going to be forever. Well, I guess it’s forever for Lisa Anderson though.
she’ll probably get picked up by Lululemon or Vuori for a decent amount of pay. Fret not.

Speaking of two kids, Kolohe has two. I’ve got two around the same age and the last thing I’d want to do is travel for two weeks for a QS comp every month. One, I don’t want to be away from the kids and two the amount of fcking leverage your wife has if you leave that often is unbearable (even the coolest of cool chicks will be bitches about it).
Plus she's got a shop in Kaka'ako, where rent is not cheap. She's got to bring in $$$ to make that place work, that's where she's gonna put her energy.
Exactly.
Law of diminishing returns will set in very quickly once Kolohe realises the dream of contending for a World Title is gone.
I'm not going to shed a tear for any of these industry sponsored people.
I've been working the same job for the same company since 1986.
I sell between 20 and 30 million $ a year and I make a fraction of what these elite surf people make.
Get a job loosers!

You’re spot on here. It’s such an easy gig. Her husband is even (allegedly) a photographer.
Urban street style is pretty common. I wish her luck In that game. I'm sure she'll be just fine, especially because she's kinda fine and she can always say fuggit and hang ten.
Whatever was part of the contract she either didn't fulfil it, or her contribution to the company was valued at ten cents to the dollar.
I don’t think that’s like a real boutique, more like a art installation / party spot/ consignment shop or something.
His family is wealthy and religious, so maybe. He was Justin Beibers photographer for awhile, whatever that means. He’s also an “artist” who self claims he’s never had a job so yeah mafia.
