Common guys, which one is it? While that guy plays the "I'm over it" card before he makes an impact, whose lead is he following? The circus is adrift because it forgot it's premise, long ago. Everyone wants money, some people earn it. Advertising isn't reality unless Kelly is selling. joe the plumber, dane, zeldo and cote’…….. only one surfs. Common guys, which one is it? While that guy plays the “I’m over it” card before he makes an impact, whose lead is he following? The circus is adrift because it forgot it’s premise, long ago. Everyone wants money, some people earn it. Advertising isn’t reality unless Kelly is selling.

Rush limfuck needs a new publicist with a comprehensive lack of perspective. NO PRO SURFER has EVER been asked questions like tradiitional sports journalists would ask. You are a shill. Your tenure exposes you for your position, it that's true. Protecting your idols while you paint their podiums is disingenous at best. NOBODY questions these guys. They are fed to the "media" prepackeaged and sterile, that's why they don't resonate with us. And the product is rad, that's why all the superficial fluff is so offensive. The "industry' operates independently from our collective best interest. Surfers (me) will always study the cutting edge, but don't mistake that for a credibility outside of that brief relevance.

Has nothing to do with them being too dumb to realize that their careers are short and the money is good. Just ask Machado, who quit the tour to be soul and then ended up losing his family as he struggled to keep his sponsors happy and his paycheck coming in. Funny that someone in the "pro surf culture" for 25 years would be against selling out the individuality of the sport... It’s totally Lewis’ fault that AI, Bruce and the rest are over it.

As an active participant in surf/pro surf culture for the past 25 years, I've often seen outsider journalists offer up diluted opinions in magazines in need of content to fill their pages. my fellow surfer individuals don't buy into what guys like mr.samuels is peddling, summing up the entire asp world tour with 5 line opinions of each surfers abilities, shortcomings....c'mon, before we know it the press is gonna be the one calling all the shots and i think this is one of the points bobby and several other wct guys try to get across, our individuality of sport and spirit isn't something for sale. i like what bobby says about, “i hear that mostly from you guys,” in regard to what writers like our mr.samuels who takes a page from the Hollywood gossip press in publishing the “i’m so over it…” comments from pros burned out by the rabid questioning of surf press newcomers trying to piggyback the fame and popularity of surfing while these professional surfers are trying to focus on winning a world title.

We don't really know what type of sheeite went down between him and reef. nobody can deal with grumpy employees right now. there's too many hungry rippers out there with solid attitudes- i think... side note, i saw richie collins the other day, big smile and totally stoked. bobby kills it, hopefully he can get a handle on that anger before it turns into bitterness.
