Kekoa Bacalso
Bells Result: 5 Previous Result: 17 ASP Rating: =9
On a more serious note: it’s a well-know fact that surf journalists cannot write about Hawaiians with anything approaching candor. My former employer was happy to let me throw Brazilians or Euros under the bus. But when it came to Hawaiians, even Hawaiian haoles, I was aggressively edited. This issue obviously goes far beyond the confines of a 150-word write-up of Kekoa Bacalso. For now, let me just say this: Freedom does not entitle me to discount the importance of Hawaii in pro surfing. Hawaii does matter, and it always has. For that reason, the tour desperately needs positive Hawaiian role models. We need an Eddie Aikau for this generation. From a media perspective, the concepts of aloha and Hawaiian pride have been eclipsed by an intense fear of Hawaiian enforcers and the potential for violent retribution. So when positive things are written about Hawaiians, savvy readers will wonder whether fear or respect has motivated the analysis. Hawaiians deserve better than this. Kekoa is a step in the right direction – he’s earning respect through performance, without the crutch of special treatment.
Kieren Perrow
Bells Result: 5 Previous Result: 17 ASP Rating: =9
Kieren Perrow returned to his core competencies at Bells: tube riding and beating up on lower seeds. Perrow is the type of competitor who is lethal with a good seeding on his side – and in ‘09 he’s crept back into that comfort zone. At Bells Kieren edged Aritz Aranburu, torched Tim Reyes, convincingly beat Jay Thompson, and barely lost to Fred P in the quarters. Perhaps the most unlikely aspect of the preceding storyline is that Perrow managed to win heats via the tube at Bells. I suppose I should acknowledge at some point just how good the waves actually turned out to be — for Bells, that is. We should expect nothing less from a Rip Curl event – swell is almost a guarantee. For instance, someone in marketing definitely went the “Robert Johnson at the Crossroads” route to make that Mex contest come together.
Tom Whitaker
Bells Result: 9 Previous Result: 9 ASP Rating: 8
You know how smart, hot girls always have that one loyal, ugly friend they keep around just to make themselves look hotter? Sometimes I fear that poor Tom Whitaker is that loyal friend for Taj Burrow and Luke Stedman. Taj keeps Whits around to make him feel like he’s still ripping, and Luke keeps Whits around to keep him feeling extra pretty. Trouble with Whits is, he has a tendency to out-perform his hotter friends – as was the case at Bells, where Whits notched up his second-consecutive 9th, while Taj languished with a 17th. For the hottie, being upstaged by the ugly friend is almost as unacceptable as not having Daddy’s attention. That said, all Whits really did at Bells was unleash some grab-rail carves and limp-wrist hacks to convincingly beat Jihad Khodr 12.57 to 9.67. But that’s not much to write about.
Damien Hobgood
Bells Result: 17 Previous Result: 5 ASP Rating: =9
I’m not sure what Damien Hobgood expected surfing against Jordy Smith in bombing, offshore rights. But Damo ought to have expected to get fucked – especially if Damo has seen Jordy surf similar conditions at J-Bay or read about Jordy’s predilection for anal with Cougars. It’s enough to strike fear in the heart of a good ol’ Christian boy. Perhaps Damo thought “safety first” and worked out a safe word with the testosterone-laden Saffa beforehand. I’m pretty sure that if Damo has a safe word, it’s Ned Flanders-esque, like “St. Peter’s Whistle!!!” Anyhoo… kinky stuff aside, Damo put up a 7.17 in his heat against Jordy, but was left searching for a 6.2 that never came. Still, it’s been slow and steady on the comeback trail, with Damo working himself up to equal 9th in the ratings, and Tahiti is yet to come…
Taylor Knox
Bells Result: 9 Previous Result: 17 ASP Rating: =14
Oh, Taylor. Why do you tease SoCal surf fans so? For those so-ultra-gay-they-don’t-even-know-it ASP-obsessives, watching Taylor is like watching the most frustrating stripper ever. When it comes to exposing his naughty bits, Taylor knows absolutely nothing about suspense and narrative. He’ll bare all on an inconsequential wave, and then take off his socks and nothing more when a heat is on the line. At Bells, Taylor went from indifference to trying too hard – each turn contained punch, weight, grunt and flexed muscles. But the turns often were contained in too small an area – not given room to breath. On Bells’ wide-open walls, Taylor might have been better served by keeping it on rail a bit longer, just to remind the judges what’s under the hood.
I’d be interested to hear more about the Hawaiian edits you went through - especially with regard to Andy & Bruce…
nice. back on track entertaining the masses. The bit about Hawaii was spot on. But on that note I’m not sure that Kekoa isn’t just a softer version of pancho who is earning better scores by virtue of being a browner and thus more politically correct. But he is a step in the right direction, articulate and a good guy. Not a complete wannabe two bit gansta imitator jackass like some other island “champions”.
Whenever a Hawaiian can link two turns he gets huge props. Remember Kalani Robb? Neither does anyone else. Poof! Up in smoke. Billed as a future world title contender. Please. It was never ever ever even close to being in the cards.
Meanwhile solid futuristic kids like Flynn Novak who would be huge if he was from Santa Cruz get repressed by the local mafia.
Reverse discrimination is alive and well. Hey now it’s official U.S. government policy coming from the white house itself.
Just read the cnn interview with the new head of the EPA.
kill whitey.
Classic. KP and his camo mullet.
Heh.
And now a word from Barry O, First Hawaiian President.

Barry brah.
http://tiny.cc/hp2Mf
Nice shout-out to Kekoa. You write intelligently when you’re not trying to be funny. This Kekoa piece is like a breath of fresh air. Or maybe I am reading too much Journal and not enough TW.
Had to chime in on kekoa. Having lived in Hawaii on and off since I was seventeen ( I am 45 ) I am familiar with the whole Hawaiian respect thing which has been so well documented in the media.
Kekoa rips and is a breathe of fresh air with his penchant for throwing his weight into serious power gouges and grinding massive meals and slamming beers and telling it like it is in interviews.
HOWEVER. If someone built like Kekoa was from ANYWHERE other than Hawaii Lewis would be TEEING UP on the jokes about his weight. Come on Lewis! Kekoa is tossing up a fat ( no pun intended ) softball for you to spank over the left field fence. You should have grabbed your grapes and let it rip. Pussy.
P.S. Damo or C.J. will win Tahiti. And if Mike knew how well I was doing in Fantasy Surfer he would be kissing my butt harder than Lewis kisses Hawaiians butts.
Dear Jiggy Jig,
You ask who remembers Kalani Robb? (seen stranger than fiction?)
then in the next breath go on to espouse the virtues of Flynn Novak?
maybe stick to what you know…banchongs…and avoid the confusion of thinking.
thanks
I remember Kalani Rob. He surfed faster that Benjamin Button and bled sweet style out of every one of his filthy butcher’s hack turns. As I recall, he finished in the top ten for a couple of years running as well. But then again, that doesn’t count for much. Who’s going to remember Taj Burrow in a few years? Kalani “no grab reverse 360 in Good Times” Robb aside, It seems as Hawaiians have turned into a sad case of affirmative action gone wrong. Because they ARE good surfers, good watermen, and fierce competitors. However, if they aren’t made to prove that, we aren’t doing them, or anyone else any favors, just perpetuating mediocrity on a systemic level.
That said, the term “reverse racism” has no basis in reality. This is mostly because it is always outweighed by the crushing weight of real racism. Surfing as a whole and pro surfing in general is a sport for the wealthy, which more often than not, means people who aren’t black, or Latino, or aboriginal or in this case, polynesian. That’s why, even though all these world class waves exist around tiny, poverty ridden islands, there are still very few professional surfers from said islands. Latin America is another great example: Why do you think, aside from its size, brazil has produced the most pro surfers in Latin America? It’s the economy, stupid. YOu don’t have to be white to surf, but you usually have to have a good bit of money to get you started and move you through a year or two on the QS.
So I would have to agree with everyone else that’s its both unfair and to treat Hawaiians with kid gloves, especially when if the rumors are true, so many of them are violent, methed up thugs who surf like Dustin Barca. But as long as we are talking about fairness, let’s discuss the US’s annexation of Hawaii or dependent economies in Latin America, or the European colonial legacy in Australia or South Africa…then again, this is just a surfing blog.
I was about to embark on a defense of Kalani, but am a little late to the party. Flynn Novak doesn’t deserve to be mentioned, completely irrelevant. Put the bong away, Jig, Kalani Kills. Your analysis is like that of Taylors…. you’re too insightful to find yourself alone pimping Novak (?).
I was inclined to write Kekoa off as the next hawaiian rhetoric…. errrr pancho, until I caught his heat at Winki and the kid deserves his prop. It’s nice to see someone from that island deserve anything…. the 7 mile stretch is filled with one trick ponies too scared to expose themselves to a QS filled with more talented guys. Novak isn’t even a one trick pony. Prove me wrong Island style.
Pretty sad that the ASP doesn’t interest Jamie O, Dane, Bruce, Andy…. imagine Nike sponsoring Kobe, Nash, Mellow, Howard and KG so well that they didn’t even bother playing in the league.
Glad to see Mark is back from his soul searching sabbatical with a rather obvious comment that’s hard to ignore. Better move back to Ally bammy before the kids attend Kahuku, bro. The riff raff down at 7 hole is no ringing endorsement for the “Island education system”. There are some really good Christian schools in Tarzana, I’ll hook you up mate. Go CJ or Damo in tahiti… GO POSTMARK!!!!!!!!!!!
Kekoa B should do well at Chopes, no?
Dude Flynn Novak looked so hot in a bikini when he stunt doubled in blue crush lets see Kalini Robb pull that shit off
That was Noah Johnson doing the Rochelle Ballard /Blue Crush/ stunt double work. A bunch of Hawaiians are actually slogging it out all over the world. Look at the early rounds of any q.s on the planet and you are going to see some names especially in the 4*’s and up as well as any Cali 1*. JMJ just won in Cali and all the boys are down in Durban as we speak as well as Portugal for the 6*’s. Mason Ho will surprise some of the skeptics in the next few years even if he is on the Lost program.
I had the same thought at Fanning’s teeth. There’s so much to discuss about the real stories in Hawaii, I wish Lewis would get to that instead of throwing paintings up for all to comment upon. Even before Andy, I’d like to hear how RVCA got rid of Makua’s man boobs and made him someone the magazines think we should actually care about.
btw, nice to see you again, Mark. Two whole days away - you must be a man of great mental fortitude. Hope the soul searching went well.
I wonder how many times this Stu guy has taken off on ten foot waves on the North Shore? I live in Central Florida but have visited the 7 mile stretch many times. I am in awe of the power and unforgiving nature of the waves there.
Admittedly there are a few minor league thugs but there are also a lot of hard charging regular guys who simply love the thrill of the drop. Something tells me Stu hasn’t taken many late drops there or anywhere else.
BTW good to see my man Mark back in action. I dig his takes on pro surfing although I am a rabid Gator fan and would take a shit on the 50 yard line of the Alabama football field if I could stomach driving through 8 hours of trailer parks and cotton fields to get there.
Makua is the perfect representation of Aloha. The Wolfpack is no different than the Bird Rock Bandits.
well, we could debate my surfing prowess, but what’s the point? I get the sense that SmynraJeff thinks that Hawaiian pros are above reproach here, which sort of flies in the face of Lewis’ entire gig. That said, I’ve been lucky enough to surf the NS several times and certainly appreciate the power of places like backdoor etc. I’ve also been lucky enough to spend meal times with a few of the more established families on the pipe stretch of sand and absolutely know that there’s a great bunch of people over there. Doesn’t change the fact that much of the surf industry sweeps a majority of NS shit under the rug in exchange for some sort of continues cooperation from the locals.
This comment has three main points. Firstly: I argue that the North Shore’s ill-bred lynch mobs have their origins in the preposterous supernaturalists like Jewish Kabala, Babylonian mystery cults, Templars, Freemasons, Illuminati, and assorted interests dedicated to Satanic worship and absolute power. Secondly, I must make it clear that my vision is built on the future, not the past. And in the third and final point, I conclude that Hawaiians are men of mostly questionable moral character.
Let me begin by citing a range of examples from the public sphere. For starters, Hawaiians are like the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz. Pull back the curtain of antagonism and you’ll see an anarchism-prone hoodlum hiding behind it, furiously pulling the levers of two-bit gangster knock-offs in a frowzy attempt to set the wolf to mind the sheep. That sort of discovery should make any sane person realize that Hawaii does not tolerate any view that differs from his own. Rather, they discredit and discard those people who contradict them along with the ideas that they represent.
Our goal must now be to insist on a policy of zero tolerance toward their implied plying of Bulverism. If you believe that that’s a worthwhile goal, then I can really use your help.
Call me.
P.s. I surf way bigger waves than anyone else who has ever commented here. Like, so way. Plus, my cock’s bigger too. Pssshh.
This was a bit too gay.
Hey Mike my son graduated from kahuku 2 years ago and he is a smart, polite, well spoken young man with a great crew of friends.And it is actually a decent school with some very solid kids from great families.
All you will see in the parking lot at 7th hole are older, mellow locals taking advantage of the cheap golf. I will say hi to Kimo Hollinger for you and tell him you said to watch out for the “riff raff”.
Thank you, I think, SmyrnaJeff. At least someone on this site sort of likes me. I hate your Gators more than Perez Hilton hates Miss California but I can certainly respect a passionate S.E.C. football fan. And how can I not respect someone who can put Stu in his place.
And Lewis “Blasphemy Rottmouth” Samuels. Got to admit that this last batch of power rankings was pretty darn good. Enjoyed the T. Whit hot chick-ugly chick analogy as well as the Taylor Knox stuff. You are very talented my good buddy Lewis, much more so than myself( see what 2 days of soul searching can do for you?).
Looking forward to more.
P.S. Surfed fun, head high, empty waves for an hour before work this morning. Life is good.
but no discussion of your failed self-banishment…again? Where’s your son going to college, Mark?
Feeling Mark’s aloha. Cheers.
P.S. But the oxy-snorting fucking wolf pack bitches that are anything but aloha can kiss my ass. (Lewis, please don’t give my email to them. Thanks buddy.)
Assphlegmy, nice to see a comemnt with some content.
Often your ramblings are interesting only in their absurdity, kinda like watching a T.J. donkey show. It’s freaky and absurd, but it’s not anything you want to see too much of. And you’re left wondering what kind of hopelessness leads a girl to such depravity.
And interesting to see you poach from a great Christian thinker. Especially after your jabs at poor ol’ Mark. Like your ‘oh so challenging’ response about his Ayn Rand reference. It’s possible to accept portions of someone’s catalog of ideas. For example, I appreciate Noam Chomsky’s theories on language acquisition, but not his other Froot Loop conspiracy illusions.
That being said, I would like to help. How do you plan enforcing this policy of zero tolerance? Is it possible to expose and extinguish the lever pulling behind the curtain?
Sorry, Assphlegmy, for anything insulting or antagonistic. I challenge you to ignore engaging in a response to those aspects.
What ideas do you have about your zero tolerance idea?
Sophomore at Hawaii Pacific University with a 3.8 GPA Stu. Would you consider him a complete loser if he wasn’t going to college? Is that how you judge people?
You know what’s coming now . Drum roll please……….
TYPICAL LIBERAL!
P.S. Stu would get EATEN ALIVE at V-Land.
Hey Ted! I’m from South Africa and yes there are serious colonial legacies. Black schools generally didn’t have a swimming pool and generations of black kids never learned to swim - remember that dude in Endless Summer 2. However, there is a bit of an effort going to “transform” the surfing demographics - for the first time ever I spotted a young zulu surfer making a QS round in Durbs this week.
Any money for boards, lessons and sponsorships from you rich first world fuckers would help out stacks.
yes, unless he was pursuing something of equal or greater value in the grand scheme of things. I appreciate your concern for me at V-Land, but the truth is you know nothing of which you speak. Coming from a guy from Alabama, I find the whole concept of debating surf strength a bit funny. I’ve never had a problem in the water when visiting. Shit, I might have even thrown little Coco a fan or two for all you know. Peace and love good Christian.
Someone recommended that I comment further about how I don’t generally trust politically incorrect authoritarians. This is that comment. One of the first facts we should face is that we need to look beyond the most immediate and visible problems with many Hawaiians. But first, let me pose an abstract question. Are Hawaiians’ incessant burbling about the wonders of resistentialism supposed to convince us that the bogeyman is going to get us if we don’t agree to their demands? The answer to that question has broad implications. For example, many native and non-native Hawaiians have repeatedly been spotted destroying our moral fiber. When questioned about that, they either deny any knowledge of it or, offer unbelievable and ludicrous explanations that only an obdurate imbecile could believe.
When Hawaiians repeated over and over the rumor that they answer to no one, his compeers, never too difficult to fool, swallowed it, as if it made any difference. No one today believes that they’re merely trying to make this world a better place in which to live and surf. Surprisingly, the surfing journalists are way ahead of them in embracing this simple fact. The people with the smallest minds always have the biggest mouths. Am I being too harsh for writing that? Maybe I am, but that’s really the only way you can push a point through to them. Hawaiians’ concept of team play is sideline sulking when they can’t have it their way.
Period, finis, and Q.E.D.
… and then Objective’s lips fell off.
I left Alabama when I was 9 and lived in Northern California until I was 17 then I moved to Hawaii. Just to set the record straight there Mr. Stu.
And Coco is another fine example of a polite, well mannered young person from the North Shore.
Aloha Stu.
Will Kelly be at Chopes?
Mark wins.
well then, I’m quitting this site for good. Ok, I’m back, now let’s discuss a bunch of stuff that doesn’t really matter, like how’d you move to Hawaii and go to ‘Bama presumably all at the same time? Or did you not go to ‘Bama at all (if the latter, I’d have to assume you’re a complete loser per your prior post).
Stu,
How about you and me go skull fuck Ayn Rand’s exhumed corpse while draped in the Chinese flag before scoring the next big swell at Ollie’s Point? We can invite Fidel and Hugo along… I hear they play a mean game of Texas Hold-Em.
Why, Mr. Rottmouth, I don’t think you have a small mind at all…
I think it is a very valid point that hawaiian explanations concerning generally unacceptable behavior are always ludicrous. In fact, I would extend that to the whole perversion of the idea of “aloha” and “respect” that muscley tattooed men are constantly talking about in the surf media. In the end of the day, many of the representatives of the hawaiian surf community don’t seem to be very interested in addressing real inequality, simply riffing off the idea of past injustice to drop in on whoever they want and beat up anyone who complains.
At the same time, I can’t help but get a perverse satisfaction from the idea of the opressed sticking it to their oppressors — which is what the pressence of the US has historically been in Hawaii. It’s a bit like the smirk I get when another pirate ship makes off with some ransom money in the Gulf of Aden. Is it right? No. But I can’t quite keep my lip from twitching. Imagine if, as the Wolf Pack recommends, the Tahitians started “enforcing” instead of getting metaphorically stuffed by Billabong year after year. Maybe we wouldn’t see as many of those blindingly white, native grins, but we also wouldn’t have to sit around and watch another wholesale exploitation of little brown people.
It seems that, between Kala and Billabong, there are no good options.
All the way, but I have a Tea Party to stop at first.
And when I say Tea Party, I don’t mean the kind attended by hordes of fat, out of work rednecks protesting things they don’t understand and aren’t actually impacted by because they don’t make nearly enough money… I mean the kind CNN was snickering at during its un-American coverage of the same.
ted, you’d be spot on if any of the locals you’re talking about were actually true Hawaiians. Instead, you’ve got a bunch of transplants (some even Jews as Lewis has pointed out!) so I don’t see it. Tell me how bad those dark little Beschen kids have it… must suck to be so oppressed.
Heh heh heh… weeeee!
Now THIS is fun!
calling them “all transplants” is a vaaaaaaast generalization. Count’em — that’s seven a’s in vast. But then, any talk of ethnicity, oppression and historical legacy among lay persons is bound to get a bit general, so I see your point.
do me this - list your wolfpackers and show me how many are full-blood Hawaiian. Or even 50%. Your list gets pretty short pretty fast. Last time I checked, Alexander wasn’t a Hawaiian name.
Pssshhht.
I bet most those “Hawaiian’s” even eat at McDonald’s and shop Costco.
Rock Mexicans.
Gomes, Garcia, Lopez, etc.
Viva La Revolucion
The previous “Objective” did not write that ^ .
Here is how I see things.
Blasphemy Rottmouth is definately a sick bastard but i have to admit he is REALLY funny. His insight into pro surfing is decent but not the best. His reply to Cote about the Kuta massage parlor regarding the fried twinkies was EPIC.
Mike is funny as well and has some really good thoughts on the tour. However something about him just SCREAMS L.A. and that is irritating.
Mark, in a different way than B.R.,is almost the funniest guy on here and he is for sure the sharpest analyst of the pro tour. It bugs me, however, how much he talks politics because I come on this site to get away from that. Although I DO agree with him 80% of the time. In the end, however, he is a Bama fan and that sucks.
Stu is a fucking snobby,liberal idiot who knows less about good surfing than Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber combined. I have been laughing my ass off for the last hour as I watched Mark combo this guy like Parko surfing against Gabe Kling. Stu you blew it when you admitted that you judge people on whether or not they went to college. This is a SURFING site bro. How many readers of this blog do you think went to college?
Anyway that is how I see things.
the writer did.
“It’s a contradictory ideological position, like being one of those “Jews for Jesus.”
Funny stuff.
Hello Mr. Objective. Gomes is Portugese. Not Mexican or Spanish.
and, of course, that’s how you see things, SmynaJeff. You didn’t go to college so you’re too dumb to see it otherwise. But, like all the rest of your toothless brothers in Florida, you still love them Gators, don’t ya? Oh, that really wasn’t called for. I quit this blog again. No, wait, I don’t. Yes, I do. No. Yes. No. Yes. Man, I wish there was a little man in the sky who could make my decisions for me…
@B Rott:
Dude……no way your cock is bigger than mine. Plus I was planning on taking up doing meth, once that kicks in I’ll be surfing bigger waves than all you fist-fuckers.
Stu~atch, the Gators are going to be THE dominant college football powerhouse program for many many years to come. They are the new U.S.C. 2.0 and are 6 deep in every position for at least the next 10 years, when Urban might be thinking of a job change. I like Mark’s views also on pro surfing and would like to hear more instead of all this other tweaked out bogus cyber rambling. Everybodies trying to sound like that smart guy in the wheelchair on here.
Fist-fucker(what chude said) is kind of a hype compliment for you cats.
what’s “that smart guy in the wheel chair” supposed to mean?
That’s “EVERYBODY’S” with an apostrafee……..that’s something a pro surfer pretending that his home-schooling somehow equates to a ninth-grade education would say……dummy.
Alright, enough with this bromance obsession you have with Steds. One comment here or there on the blokes good looks is cool but it seems like the entire blog is a gay dedication to the dude to get into his pants. Maybe next time he is in town you can have a picnic at the top corner of Dolores Park and then cruise over to the ‘Men’s Room’ for drinks. Best keep him away from the 440 Club cus the Bears would be all over him. Just ask Eli and Parker!
@ Alaska
Dude, that was like 10 posts ago.
Contrary to Alaska Bob’s respected opinion,
I would blow all of you. This was an awesome comments thread. Cheers to all my whell-chair bound brethren!
I’ll be back later.
And dude, Alaska. You know far too much about gayness bro.
My boner got in the way… can’t even spell wheelchair correctly.
Did anyone read the piece on Kala in Outside?
Sorry, here’s a link.
http://outside.away.com/outside/culture/200811/surfing-hawaii-1.html
What a dumb ass.
I should know about gayness. I am only the assistant manager of the GLBUSwii club up here in Anchorage. We are the second biggest Nintendo Wii Surf club of alternative sexual preference north of Seattle. Samauel and Steds would love it up here.
anyone know the number for the FBI??
Don’t worry trauzersnake, we’re monitoring this site very carefully. We have a file on Blasphemy Rottmouth that is as thick as Jordy’s pee pee as he enters a cougar’s rear passage.
Can you please give me some meth and robistssin before you waterboard me??……It’ll remind me of that one day @ mavs
Mark has projected that I live in LA, and that’s cool with me, he’s my bro. But for someone from Florida passing judgement? Look, Kelly doesn’t give you any juice, he’s an anomoly. Sorry Smyrna, a confederate flag on your truck is a badge of ignorance…. and you earn it.
Kind of scary that you agree with the fantasy league winner 80% of the time because I’m sure that is a baton Mark is willing to pass on.
The reality is I live in Hooterville by the sea…. quiet, boring, insular and always flat.
Blasph has another clone @ 7:55, this time blowing everyone. When trying to plagarize Lewis, one must first pull the first dated book off the bookshelf and copy profusely. That gives the less inclined the illusion of being well read even though the analogies mask a vapid premise.
@Mike,
I’ll be honest here; it actually was the real deal at 7:55pm… I thoroughly enjoyed the shuck n’ jive of the commentary. Though your beat down of my presumed clone could surely be applied to the last few nights… hell I probably deserved it mehself.
Cheers!
Trauserfluke, The wheelchair guy is Stephen Hawking dummy. It is also Robistussin,(sp)I think. Go change your 2 year olds diaper or change the wax on your custom C4 s.u.p and get off the mac.
shit man….i was really upset for 15 minutes when i saw the surfline power rankings…..
but fukit ..here u are…
the north shore wieners that are out there are just that, wieners. but there are so many great people out here. if you know how to respect locals and be a nice person you won’t find problems out here on the north shore. if you are a wiener (stu) you belong in a bun
and kekoa rips. he is going to do well and is a breath of fresh air. nice guy. surfed with him many times and he is not a wiener (stu).
didn’t suggest he was. in fact, I totally agree with you. i hope he has a great career.
If Fanning surf sometimes is slightly repetitive, Taylor Knox surfing is like the wheel of a bike, going carve and carve and carve and carve… untill the end of times. Even Dingo can pull an air or two sometimes.
When i read about Kekoa, i confused him with another hawaian, Kai Barger, winner of the pro junior this year. I did my research and noticed that Kekoa won it in 2005. I just hope he didn’t screamed like a bitch and gave an interview as if he was a former member of the queer eye for the straith guy crap, weaving his gay hand as if he was Oscar Wilde when he won, as Kai did.
Just see for yourself:
http://www.surfline.com/video/contests/billabong-asp-world-jr-championships-final-day_21508
Spot on LS. Cheers to Kekoa, he certainly has renewed my hope for a good Hawaiian role model. Can’t wait to see him perform in Tahiti.
