Surfline.com just put up their “Power Rankings.”
What a fucking joke!!!!
Who the fuck writes this piece of shit article every month? I don’t have much time to write because unlike some people I actually have a real job, I don’t just spend my time watching surf contests on the computer and then acting like it makes me an authority on surfing. But I just wanted to put up a quick post saying “suck it, monkey” to the moron who writes this shit.
Kelly at 17? That’s so disrespectful. The guy who wrote that isn’t any pro surfer that I’ve ever heard of. So he has no right to express opinions like that. Plus sometimes I feel like he’s saying one thing even when he means another thing, which I don’t like. I don’t like flip-floping and I sure don’t like double-talk.
We’re men of action, not words. I just wanted to speak towards that point.
Here’s some comments that people who agree with me left on Surfline.
I hope the cpmments on Kelly were done purely out of jest. Otherwise they’re disrepectful and a very fickle opinion. I think they were a joke though becuase anyone can have a bad day and sacrifices are always made by those trying to pioneers.
I´m still stoked of how could you guys of such a good surf channel (the best one) can still have prejudgement with the brazilian surfers, first of all you compared Jihad Khodr to a special olympics athlete, and then you are asking yourself if the world is changing because of the best brazilian performances, why did you guys from the best former opinion channel of the surf still judging the brazilian CT´s ? please take it easy guys! wait for more brazilian actions on the next event!!!!
This” power ranking” is so American… dane,hobgoods, jordy, slater aways at the top and the rest “who cares ” , right ??? Who would know how it is on tour exept the surfers ? nobody….especialy not Lewis Samuel…who’s that ? by the way…. Who knows how the surfer is feeling in some events (personal family problems,injurys,money problems )….I think it sucks talking bad about a guy without knowing nothing about him ! Its sad….you guys should be a shame
Best Power Rankings ever.
Nice Job on the rankings, but thats the best picture of Drew Courtney Surfline has? Christ he looks awful.
Holly Shit. I didn’t know Rivers Cuomo id the Power Rankings.
I thought Kekoa Becalso won the world junior title at narrabeen not bells.
It was at narrabeen. Who are you getting your facts from? Chris Dodd?
Love to see CJ and Damo so high…they’ve got God on their side - it’s a wonder they’re not even higher!
Arties posts remind me of Borats wife Oxana. BORING!
funny, as per usual!
though i do agree with andrew ‘you should be a shame’ !
perez samuels. great bitter piece as always. i would put kelly at 43 just to piss more people off.
Maybe they’re all being ironic.
the jihad ratings never cease to amaze me, utter perfection.
and drew courtney is like the jihad of ‘09. is that dude really that hideous in real life?

Did George W. hog-tie Lewis, lock him in a closet, and highjack his Surfline password???
I already had a strange feeling that lewis and Barrack Obama were on the same page but now it is official. Lewis makes a comment 3 days ago that last year Jihad surfed last year like he was in the special olypmics and then last night Obama said that he himself bowled like he was in the special olympics. Whats next? Is Nancy Pelosi gonna scream at the pilot of her private government jet that he is going too slow to get her to her next conference on climate change on time and that he is flying like he is in the special olympics? Is Chris Dodd gonna say that it actually wasnt someone in the treasury that told him to take the provision out of the stimulus bill that would have prevented the a.i.g. bonuses but it was someone from the special olympics. is Barney Frank gonna tell his boyfriend at Fannie Mae that he makes love like he is in the special olymics? When is it goona end?
is that you Disco?
just to be clear
Obama isn’t even a bronze medalist in the “governing a country special olympics”. He does get the gold in hoodwinking the morons to vote for him though.
Lewis had Slater right where he deserved to be. If you’re gonna shape it and claim it you better deliver on that promise in spades.
He is still the best contest surfer in history but the self imposed handicap isn’t working out. Whenever the emperor does a top turn his bare ass shines for all to see.
What sort of pretend “best in the world” is it when Dane makes Slater look a bit like an old man on a fish but Clay Marzo makes Dane look older still?
Socially the kid is fucked but his surfing is so far ahead for innovation, crispness, precision and fluidity.
