A couple weeks ago I claimed Kekoa Bacalso in my for Surfline. I'm a big fan of Kekoa's surfing - he has a unique approach to both power and fitness. With this in mind, I compared Kekoa to Chunk from the seminal 1985 classic

So I was quite pleased to see Kekoa "Chunk" Bacalso absolutely murder his first heat at Duranbah. "I had my back against the fence and knew I had to pull out something special," Kekoa said after the win.
In this case, "something special" meant two of the Top 10 wave scores of the day.
Of course, I expected something special to be the truffle shuffle.
But perhaps Kekoa is saving the truffle shuffle for when his back is against the wall, instead of against the "fence" as it was in R1.
Check out Surfing Mag's from the legendary Steve Sherman (he shot the Kekoa portrait above), and exclusive action shots from the rising Sean Rowland.
Does that make you corey feldman’s character from gooonies - “mouth”?
Bacalso looked the best of the Rookies by far. Can’t see any reason why he won’t be rookie of the year, does he have a weakness? (other than the buffet)
yeah, he like to drink 5 or 6 beers the night before the contest…
Pretty intense fitness program drinking 5 or 6 primos.
tim boal was more impressive
Anyone notice that Dane’s board looked like it was missing the Quik Logo on it? Heard he might have jumped ship to Analog/Burton.
herd board caddy of the year in 07 todd kline lost his job over him not having stickers on hiis board… oh well that guy always seemed like kind of a shithead aneway
Hey faggot Samuels: are you even at the event or do you just stay up strange hours of the night, watching the webcast and yanking it between waist high sets at dbah? seems to me like you skipped a few rungs on the surfbro journalist ladder
Maybe missing a few rungs on the “surfbro” journalist ladder is an attempt at legitimacy? Just like politics, once you drink the corpo koolaid, you have nothing to write anyway and waist high D-bah becomes a story. And as you should know, ruleangatta, that bank is more often than not the best wave the puppets have to run their commercials on.
Wow, it’s like these people are the real surfers, not those sissies on tour… lol.
