STAB mag ran a gallery of party pics from some recent premiere, and misidentified the guy next to Dane as Lewis Samuels.

Has someone really been doing the rounds of Gold Coast parties pretending to be me? Why anyone would emulate my plight, I have no idea. It seems like it would be much safer to pull the impostor routine with some faceless groovy surf photog.
Perhaps STAB is just really, really bad at that whole journalism thing - that guy probably is a famous surf photog. Or maybe the angry gent next to Dane is doing the old "I"m Spartacus!" routine (see video below). Either way, I'd like to thank Stab and/or the fake Lewis Samuels for creating at least a momentary sliver of doubt concerning who I am.
Doppelganger bro - did you get punched by the end of the night? I've found it's best to slip out before the angry mob of the offended surpasses an average personal consumption of 3 drinks. Are you OK, Fake-Me? Please mail. I'm worried you're face down in a cane field. Now I know how my friends feel.
omg. classic. I”m Spartacus. I’m LOL.
That’s Alek Parker. Pro surfer dude from the great state of Florida. Fuck up on Stab’s part.
Alek tryin’ to keep that wild ‘fro under control!
Sounds like Lewis better get a subscription to Eastern Surf so he can recognize D-list pros by their headshots. Step up your game fool!
“What has the surf world come to when Pro Surfers are being misidentified as writers?
…Actually, come to think of it, pro surfers being misidentified as writers is exactly how we end up with all those shithouse articles in the mags each month.”
No truer words have ever been written.
D list pros? The kid is in every major magazine almost monthly. I guess Mike Losness is D lister too by whatever standards you use?
Yes. OF COURSE Mike Losness is also a D Lister. Are you trying to be ironic?
who is Mike Looseness?
