It's time to announce the latest PostSurf Sell-Out of the Week!
Like almost everyone else who works in the surf industry, this whorish schemer has hopped into bed with corporations in order to extend the glide. Don’t be hatin’ - we all do it! Difference is, Karina Petroni does it like a porn star. And for that, she deserves to be celebrated.
Now I'm going to drop the truth on you: When Ladyfingers here steps up to the podium, she ought to thank Surfermag before she thanks Jesus Christ. This poison petifore can WORK it, but Surfermag deserves to share her award.
Case in point: Karina's on Surfermag.com.
In all fairness, it's probably Surfer Magazine who should be ashamed of themselves. Someone once famously anointed Surfer "The Bible of Our Sport."
Well, it's safe to say no one has ever even remotely considered calling Surfermag.com "The Online Bible of Our Sport." (Scott Bass deserves an award for that fact.)
Surfermag is only updated about twice a week, so when a story gets put up, it better be good. Usually, it is not.
Now Surfermag has taken the bold step of presenting a photo gallery of this cracker Eva Braun clone with a phone. It's an Ad disguised as a story. Yes, I know, that's pretty much what all surf mag stories are. But like Transworld's Gear Guide, actual advertorial features are an escalation in the degradation of surf media. And correctly referring to it as "advertorial" does not make it OK.
As for Karina Petroni, I don't even know where to start in offering you a neat summation of this deranged, self-involved pony and the fuckery that is her career. I think I'll have to save a complete breakdown for another post.
If nothing else, Ms. Petroni deserves a place in our hearts for her compassionate-fascism, as detailed in "If I Were President" article.
"As president of the greatest country in the whole world, I would lower the income tax to 10 percent. If God is satisfied with 10 percent, the IRS should be as well. Why do I have to pay 50 percent of my earnings while traveling around the, living out of a suitcase, dragging boardbags around - just so I can give my money to people who are too lazy to get off their rear ends? Nor will I give my money to illegal aliens. My Norwegian mother came in legally, so did my father's grandparents. Nobody gave them a penny. America was founded on people like that, not freeloaders living off other people's earnings. All killing of the unborn babies would end immediately. I love saving dolphins, sharks, whales and all sea creatures, but I believe the murder of innocent babies is the darkest stain on our nation..."
OK then... Sounds like Rasta has found his new mermaid - she loves helping to save all sea creatures, but she HATES helping freeloading brown people who sneak into our country!
She’s still hot.
Come on Lewis, tell us you wouldn’t …
I think it’s alright she’s selling out. We all want to make money one way or another but for her comments about “If I Were President” that was pretty dumb. Maybe if she was president she’ll give every little girl a pony for their birthday so they won’t be sold for dog food. F’king twat.
But I agree with Chris, I would…
call it for what it is: cuntery
Yeah, loved that Surfing interview. Great to get lectured on hate politics from someone who may have a high school diploma.
I’m all for it! We need more hot chicks surfing, out with the carpet munchers
Lewis, you are a mean prick.
I’m friends with Karina and I must say I was embarrassed for her when I saw that heinous “advertorial” piece. I clicked through it while cringing as if nails were scraping across a chalkboard.
You know what though? Selling out, although lame and against most’s morales, can’t be taken so seriously in the context of this economy. You have to make money some way. Why not go hang out in the Mentawais and spend 5 minutes of your free time taking bullshit photos in exchange for a few Benjamins?
Hard to hate on that, but let us hate anyway because that’s what postsurf is for! I nearly beat the shit out of a belly boarder this morning so I’m feeling great. I wanted to visit postsurf and continue aggressiveness for the day.
Despite being one of my creatures, this chick is even starting to bug Me! But, the sellout tag is wasted on her and any other pro surfer - she’s just trying to make a living like the rest of you suckers.
As for Jimmycane’s post, where’s that grammar cop when we need him?
Jimmy__np one wants to hear your opinion. Just go practice your photography.
Karina,
You are cute, and I would bang you like an angry bear after reading you Byron’s epistle to Augusta. In fact, I would be more than happy to grab your ankles and treat you like a wheelbarrow.
That said, please quit fooling yourself.
You are not THAT hot.
You are not THAT intelligent.
You appear to have the personality of an empty cardboard box, and the depth of a Vin Diesel movie.
Your friends are one rung up on the primate ladder.
Your future most likely holds home purse parties and a grueling part-time stint at the Elizabeth Arden counter at a Macy’s in a dying suburban Jacksonville mall.
You are the reason I’ve proposed that the United States engage in diplomacy with China and cede Huntington Beach to help resolve our current trade imbalance with them.
Please go away.
And take your yapping entourage with you.
Thanks much,
President of Vice™
She is gnarly,
I have seen her show up to events with full body guard (manager rented heavy) to basically force their way into getting media. During one event (which she had nothing to do with other than losing in an early round), she literally forced her way into the commentators booth and had her rent a thug black the entrance from the guys running the event until the people commentating painfully walked through a bunch of questions that she could barely answer. Give that chick a guitar and she will give Daisy a run for her money at the 2012 Republican convention. What happened to the trail blazed by Lisa Anderson. She was hot, charismatic and respect by female and male surfers alike. Didn’t have to shop her body or force herself on the media to get coverage. Upcoming female pro’s should be taking better notes. Respect is earned.
You gotta admit paying half your dough or more to the government sucks. Especially when it isn’t being spent with caution, wisdom or any sense of frugality. And that goes for the previous as well as the current administration.
My my, she seems like a fine, upstanding, and oh so intelligent young lady. So much so that I’m thinking of sending a letter to US immigrations recommending that they slap down some heavy quotas on the number of immigrants from Norway and Italy just to make sure that my tax dollars aren’t waisted on educating a girl who obviously has everything already figured out. I assume this comes from talking to God a lot.
On the subject of advertorials, I have been disappointed to find them popping up in publications where I had not previously seen them. Also, having had to edit and fact check a few advertorials in my life, I am happy to go on record saying that they are to journalism what Cheetos are to food. That said, I still read Surfer magazine and a couple of other surfing-related publications, and in fact, I enjoy them. The only reason that any editor in their right mind runs an advertorial is because his or her magazine needs money, and badly. We all heard about the bankruptcy of Surfer’s parent company and frankly, if they have to throw in a few advertorials to keep printing, I’m okay with that. I won’t read them, nor will i hold much respect to the people who pimp themselves in them, but the fact remains that they have become a necessary evil for struggling publications in our broken and bleeding economy. Perhaps we should as Ms. Petroni how to fix the problem…but then again, I don’t usually take economic advice from lazy surfers with funny last names, even if they did come in legally.
Yeah Karina! You go girl!
She forgot about gay marriage, prayer in school and freedom fries. Otherwise, not a bad showing.
One thing you have to admit is wrong.
The recent Cap and Trade bill that barely passed the House had a couple hundred pages added to it with under 12 hours remaining before they voted on it. And the media is too busy talking about Michael Jackson and Lewis is too busy clowning Katrina to notice. How can you take one of the most game changing pieces of legislation in America’s history and force congress to vote on it without READING IT FIRST!
Same with the stimulus package. NOT ONE MEMBER OF CONGRESS READ THE BILL INCLUDING OBAMA!!! Almost 900 BILLION DOLLARS! Of OUR MONEY! And NO ONE READ THE BILL!!! Then we were told it HAD to pass or the economy would collapse immediately but here we are 4 and a half months later and less than 10 percent of that money has been spent. It seems as if they are waiting until we get closer to the 2010 congressional elections to flood the country with that money and make themselves look good.
I am a surfer. I want a clean environment. I want to see changes in our health care system ( Tort Reform but Obama has nixed that ). I want to see changes in the way our country does things. I think it was wrong the way we went into Iraq. There are so many things that everyone has some sort of agreement on. It sucks how divided our country is.
However I would like to see some honesty and true transparency from our current President. Passing major bills that haven’t even been read is not the CHANGE America voted for. And it makes no difference whether the bill is good, bad or ugly. It makes no difference what your political beliefs are. WE SHOULD NOT BE VOTING ON BILLS THAT NO ONE HAS READ!!!
Wake up America!
Mark,
Who the hell is clowning Katrina? That was a devastating hurricane.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I would Kareama her Pepperoni’s.
I’d pee in Katrina’s butt till her eyes are yellow.
as well as Karina’s
This girl wouldn’t know real work if it hit her on the head. Complaining that 50% of your profit goes to the government when all you really did was go for a surf and have photos taken of you with some cell phone? That’s not work, that’s playing around.
Lew-Dog,
Is it asking too much to see more photos of your dog’s shit on something? Surfermag’s Karina piece would have been perfect. Really, I don’t care what it is. I just want to see your dog’s shit again.
Sell-out of the weak: Lewis Samuels, for basing his own advertorial post on another advertorial about a has-been female pro surfer.
I CAN’T FUCKING TAKE IT ANYMORE! Why do these semi-attractive floozies insist on dictating socioeconomic policies when we all know damn well they haven’t read a book since Dr. Seuss went out of print. Henceforth, I will make it my mission to impregnate Ms. Petroni one dark steamy night and, once she has given birth to a brown baby, divorce her and take 50% of her ill-begotten riches. I’ll then parade around the globe selling photos of my average surfing and hawking whatever companies will have me.
She, in turn, will realize the error of her ways and, in an attempt to put things right, apply to college at Brown and earn a degree in Government. Her compassionate and thoughtful discourse on subjects political will eventually win over the country, who will vote her into office as a Senator. I have no doubt that within the next 10 years Karina Petroni will be responsible for some of the most revolutionary public policies our country has ever seen.
And to Mark: Tort reform is the conservative’s wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing. Stop talking about it like it’s going to help when, in actuality, tort law has been one of our legal system’s most striking successes. Health care suffers from incurable greed, not over-regulation. My view on doctors is this: so the bastards earn a few $100,000 less if the health care system is reformed. You know what? If they’re really in the business of helping people, then that’s a price they ought to be willing to pay. Let them drive BMWs instead of Benzs.
Zzzzzzzz. Mark and lazer, perhaps the most boring posts ever?
Not sure if your more pissed about not ever touching a girl like that in your life, the fact she made more money with that add than you have in the past 3 years combined, the fact she’s logged more barrel time on that trip alone (that I’m sure was paid for) than you have this whole year, or the fact that she’s an east coaster. Either way I’m sure at some point if you want to make a decent living, you will or have, sold out to pay the bill’s. I agree she went main stream, but that doesn’t make her a sell out any more than it makes you one for pointing a finger at her success like she’s a failure.
Lol @ RydrHi
You should have taken a gander at the first paragraph of this post before wasting the four hours it took you to write that comment.
Seriously, I command Mark and lazer to STFU. As for RydrHi, please bitch. I was on that trip (I am, after all, everywhere) and Ms. Pepperoni logged a full barrel count of zero. She’s a clown, hence her quick departure from the tour. She knew what was coming in the likes of Sally, Coco etc. in the water and Alana on land, considered her total inability to make it out of a heat last year and headed for zee hills without a second thought. I also know (because I know everything) that she’s hardly in a 50% tax bracket.
Stu: My apologies, but I’m afraid Mark brings out the worst in me, comment-wise. Won’t happen again, I promise.
RydrHI: Not to go all grammar-police on you, but what the fuck were you thinking when you wrote that?
God: If I’m the brains of PostSurf’s commentary section, you’re something like a pre-cancerous colonic polyp. And I’m petitioning Dr. Samuels’ immediate removal of you before you spread your pestilence. Until then, though, feel free to continue your comments and your occupation of PostSurf’s rectum. G’day.
LOL, TTYL, BRB, ect.. @ Lazer, @ God, @ the whole post surf community that is 10 people. Grammar police that mother fuckers. You are all a bunch of wanna be language arts teachers. hahaha!!! You are blogging bitches and all you do is come back at comments and criticize people’s grammar. haha! the real great photo would be a picture of Lewis shitting on all of you because i bet all your mouths would be open wide and very accepting of his shit. Please grammar police stop by. i didnt no how to right a comment without fucking up and forgetting that comma. im so sad. :-(
It is funny how everyone gives me shit but not one person says anything about congress passing bills without reading them.
And A.I.’s Dealer is Lewis. One hundred percent.
@ Lazer
You are stupid.
You crazy fuckin seppos…..
I learned two new words here: petifore and advertorial. At least today wasn’t a complete loss.
Mark: Of course Congress read the bill before signing off on it. And while the spending entailed is substantial, the way in which funds are allocated is actually fairly conservative for such a liberal proposition. If you had read the damn thing, which you can do on recovery.gov (and I did, took me half a week) you’d be in a more receptive position (ha, I said receptive position!).
By the way, did anyone else on here surf Kaisers during last week’s swell?
@ Lazer
Didn’t surf Kaisers, but the good run of surf continues this summer in the NW (water just got really cold recently though, in the 40sF). Surfed a fun right by myself as a bald eagle fished for salmon over a neighboring sandbar last night. I took this as evidence that maybe Jiggy can have his satay and eat it too.
how did Lazer get trademarked??? Can I register my cock??
I heard Trauzernake was hung like Amy Donohoe…
MORE PICTURES OF THE PRETTY GIRLS WITH THE CURLY HAIR!! THEY LOOK LIKE TWINS!! MY BROTHER SAYS THEY LIKE JESUS! I PRAYED TO JESUS FOR A PARROT BUT I GOT AN IGUANA BUT THATS OK! I LIKE EXOTICS. JESUS TOOK MY MONKEYS TO MONKEY HEAVEN. BUT THREE CHEERS FOR THE PRETTY GIRLS!!
karina is a minger, she looks like a viking in drag
@BR
Actually, I’m hung like Layne Beachley.
Blasphemy Rottmouth @ 3:04 is *not* real as indicated by the classic affirmation of everything right and true and decent in the national character of his statement. And the mind drifts to the incongruity that is Karina in an otherwise feeble and deplorable approach to that which lies within. And with regards to Mark’s mom (a.k.a. Palmsy®), it is a gross, physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country, but only for those with true grit. Onward.
All things considered, i still would … gladly.
@ Lazer
They slammed 300 extra pages 5 hours before it had to be signed. No one read it.
P.S. I was about 200 yards to the west of Kaisers the entire 3 week swell. It’s called the Bowl. Paddle over and say hi sometimes.
@3:27pm
At least you spelled my name right, goatse face.
On a side note, what is up with chick’s hairdo? I daresay it appears she mixed equal parts sea urchin spunk and Rob Machado ass hair in a Rapunzel-like attempt to escape from the dreary confines of her 3-AM Kuhio Avenue transvestite-esque visage. Any thoughts?
@Lazer
Please refer to GARY Leonardi at 3:08 pm.
Karina is a onion, the more you peel her back the more she stinks.
Pam The Bookstore: True enough. I have a feeling if I cut her up into little bits and sauteed her I’d probably shed a tear of two, but it’d make her infinitely more palatable.
I love you all!
@ Lazer
Why don’t you give us some details about those 3 a.m. Kuhio Ave. ladies Lazer? I haven’t been down there at 3 a.m. since 1984 when I was single and the drinking age was 18.
How about you?
Ad disguised as a story? Yeah, just saw one of those on Slurfline. The fitness article with Barca was pitching some Muscle Milk nonsense. Is nothing sacred, pure… I feel violated.
RIP, Karl Malden.
Say it ain’t so. Mike Stone is gone?
@4:05. Clever approach you indignant yuletide carol you. Now please go away.
I don’t get all the excitement? I think she’s built just like Dillion Perillo!
Mark: Let’s just say I ended up with more than I paid for. Think Eddie Murphy.
I have a strong hunch she plays ‘last man standing’ in the bar most weekends.
Barca looks HOT in that workout lycra-vest. I want to spew my muscle milk all in between that toothless gap!!!
@ Lazer…. too funny
@ Mark, Money vs. Humanity. Bush crammed everything through without being able to read, but the problem is not politics, it’s capitalism run amok. Money vs Humanity. Ms Pepperoni is merely a shallow schill, one of many.
I agree West Hollywood, Karina is a linebacker, that’s why she never poses with any of the girls. It’s about never allowing a sense of proportion into the debate. She’s riding the fuckability she possessed at 14, definitely not any talent. Notice they showed no surfing photo’s.
Chris Cote would, which is more honorable than rationalizing a bad early 80’s decision on Kuhio. Paying for attention is pathetic, but more honest trade than pimping a camera phone or a caffienated “juice” drink. Chris, you are a rad surf industry player, mover and shaker… go tag that shit bro. Full report in your August issue, top selling magazine of ALL TIME!!!!!
Welcome to the future boys.
On a side note, I had sales meetings that required a drive to La Jolla and having the luxury of time, took the coast whenever possible. Can you believe how many surf schools exist? I counted 4 at Zuma, Bay Street was a log jam of child care, and the Ponto area could easily pass for a school zone. Amazing.
Project 10 years from now and surfing will require liability forms and registration.
i dont know how to phrase it exactly…
and its easy to dismiss lewis s input as something else…well..maybe not easy but arguable..
but cmon…just the idea that it seems blasphemous to speak badly of what is essentially marketing sold as an involved awareness is frightening..
if an image folds upon criticism..it probably was pretty sketchy in the first place..
…hi
Baby bloat? No. Nor is it simple gas. That distinctively protruberant paunch…that slightly pained-yet-oh-so-satisfied expression…
Can it be?
Yes, yes, definitely…Jamon Bagel strikes again!!!
looks like she is sporting a drop bladder.
@ Hugh Jass, 12:40 p.m.
The most sensible post of the week.
Gotta love the Director of Catering, one hammy bagel.
@Mike: Just doin’ my job, chief.
@BR: Might I suggest some protein & starch to offset the effects of that, oh, say, fifth of Bushmills?
With a little help from my friends and some teamwork, this administration will do great things…..
Yes, we can.
@ Mike
I didn’t PAY for it bro. Don’t assume so much.
@ Lazer 5:25 p.m.
That’s funny.
See you at dawn.Should be another perfect day.
Lazer® was smart with the whole registry thing. Until we can log in with secure usernames, there will continue to be those like 4:14pm, 4:05pm, and 3:27pm, who leech my precious blood.
But, unlike Jesus, my blood will not save you. My blood will leave you gnashing your teeth in that place that Mark has nightmares every night about.
And no, I don’t mean his mother’s panty drawer.
I don’t think…
The lot of you are arrested!
Fucking Cote was #1? Honestly, who cares about chick surfers.
That chick needs a large set of fake tits.
WTF?….
Is this old kook that chick’s grandpappy?
Is this her dad?
Nor do I mean Stu’s.
Is this that chick’s grandpappy?
Is this her dad?
Her sponsors should consider siliconing over her pie hole.
Taj,
Are you attempting to be funny, clever or a cocksucker? I vote cocksucker, but I pray to the sweet Lord Laird that you don’t bite. Otherwise I’ll have to lop off your head with a pair of pliers when you’re on the downstroke.
Just keep to your own name (which actually IS clever) or make up some other ridiculous name.
Otherwise, this shit just gets downright ponderous.
Lordy, lordy. What the hell is going on here? Who is this chick?
Lewis, please throw out a softball pitch to us instead of this shit.
And if you’re going pimp like that, please lean towards Isreal supermodels.
Thanks.
BR, what, you agree with Ron Paul, the Byrd brain formerly knows as Cornelius Calvin, and or this surf chick so stupid, that I forgot her name?
Dead serious, Blaspo.
Like Jake said, ‘I hate Nazis”.
I actually do like a lot of what Ron Paul stands for. He’s the polar opposite of Byrd… your point was completely lost in translation.
What parts of Ron Paul op eds of issues appeal to you?
I thoroughly respect and support his positions on sodomy, animal cruelty, and reverting back to the gold standard. I also wish I was a gynecologist. Speculums make me tingle in my happy place.
I do not support his stance public restrooms. Bitch’s stance is so wide, people offer him fellatio everytime he exits the stall after depositing his brown bullion.
Byrd was, always will be remembered for being a blow-hard.
Any more questions from the gallery before I rape a spatula?
And before you ask me to expound on those boring ‘positions,’ I say:
How the hell should I know Taj’s Burro?
Sixty-Nine? Reverse Cowgirl? Superman?
The old man has had his colon and prostate probed more than Mark’s mother at this point, and he probably ejaculates Achaean dust… let’s leave him a little privacy for Laird’s sake.
Sasha Baron Cohen, whether playing the part of Ail G, Borat, and now his latest comedic genius character, Bruno, , not only busts on his over the top stereo typical characterization of Chavs, FOB third worlders, and homosexuals, but he also cleverly punks the bigoted side of his prey.
This time it’s Ronnie Paul who falls into the trap. Heh.
I thought Borat was super funny the first time. Haven’t watched it since; never saw Ali G; and have only heard about Bruno… so, I’ll take your word for it.
Whatever that means.
And because I haven’t typed it in a while,
President of Vice™
I saw this girl heaps on the goldy last winter. She was always out at the wall and she was super friendly and talkative. Whats the deal?
I have blue eyes and fair skin come to think of it…but i also have dark hair and a jew nose. Maybe i just intrigued her and she was thinking about trying a little bit of strange.
I haven’t really got a point…that is all! Thank you for listening
I once put my finger in a mule’s butthole.
Does that make me anti-Semitic?
Or worse, gay??
A.I., we should hook up sometime. :)
I hate to say this, but this place is getting to me. I think I’m getting the Fear.
^^That was obviously not B.R.
11:07 can slide it under Mark’s teabag.
Red?
or, Blue?
Politics aside, I need to know which color to paint my nails.
Suggestions?
I just milked Kekoa’s teats - what do I get?
I just had an original thought.
Oops.
No… no, I didn’t. I’m still thumbing through all the psyche and socio papers published in the latest journals to find out who B.R. plagiarized, so I can figure out the point… but, I’ve been stonewalled by my own apathy. That, and my leaking colostomy bag.
Lemme go back to conjuring insipid ways to snipe at the entertainers.
My bloomers are moist.
And it’s not even Sunday!
I think u should all stop juging me for trying to make a living. If u got to no me, u would stop saying all those bad things and we could be friends. Stop saying bad things about Rasta, he’s such a gentle sole. Gellousy is a kerse.
lmfao @ Karina
That was beautiful!
Can you people leave my mom out of it for one day please?
Tomorrow is my birthday. Lighten up.
Its not baby bloat or gas… its a FUPA
Happy Birthday Mark’s Mother!! I hope you don’t burn your cuticles lighting up those 136 candles.
So, is this Lewis Vs. Blasphemy… dueling banjo’s style??
@Mark, Could you please STHU? Seriously. Happy Birthday.
Isn’t my name super funny and clever too…?
(crickets, crickets, crickets)
Okay, welp, I’ll go back to commenting on Surfline.
You know, where the suhsuhsuh…smart people are.
Your all really lame picking on an innocent yung cristian, u have to have s e x to get a bloat. get a life u creepy old men
Lewis,
You know I love this site, brother. But you get my point with all these shennanigans right?
Right?
We shall leave thou alone.
I’d bet 20 bucks that either Trauzersnake or Mark is posting as Karina.
And I don’t give a fuck which… it’s funny as hell, boys.
But seriously, Lew-Dog should screen posts on this comments thread based on the IP addresses. T’would make it harder for imposters to trash everything with their pre-cum.
I’d bet my life that 1:01am just jizzed his pants.
Your all discussting
“T’would make it harder for imposters to trash everything with their pre-cum”
Are you worried about the ‘name’ you have built up for yourself on an internet forum being tarnished with lesser scriblings?! Honestly?!
Your all fake. you all hide behind stupid names and poke fun at reel people putting themselfs out there and for what? little larfs for you but you hurt real people. i know andrew moony and he’s name has been draqgged thru the mud by you fakers and now me. you all need a realty check. why doesn’t postsurf.com do an expose on blasphemy stupidface for being fak or taj burro - it probablhy isnt even taj… see, taj is inacent and being poked by you! Leave us real surfers alone
Who the fuck is that aussie belly fag doing the batshit boring blogs from brazil? that guy can’t even speak proppperlyy. is he there for young boys?
Awesome!!!! So Belly’s a commentator too… SICK!!!
SICKKK he’s a Quik employee too….
Fisher, go easy on Belly! Yes, he’s a Quiky team manager, but first and foremost founded and still runs the biggest surfboard factory in France… He is a true blue Aussie digga, just trying to make an honest living! Team managing helps to travel the world and pay the rent! He’s just gotten roped into the announcing gigs to lend a helping hand! Not trying to pump his or anyone else’s ego! Not his fault if the other commentators came down with swine flu!
Thank you david. i stand corrected. are you enjoying the webcast?
Lewis,
I think you need to transform this blog into something similar to gawker or deadspin. You already have enough “employees” ie: stu, blashephmy, mark etc to write short witty comments about the surf industry, all you need are some eager interns to scour the net for daily articles to poke fun at. You have a solid base following, I am sure you can expand 10 fold with more frequent updates and more articles.
As for karina, surfers are public figures, just like well-known athletes or celebrities. If you don’t like being in the public eye, then get the fuck out of the way. Or you can curse the gods for making you talented during an era of instant information. But either way, get over yourself, life is funny.
Having said that, it is not the most entertaining webcast I’ve ever watched, but as the poor guy by himself in the booth said earlier, the other two announcers from California are in quarantine with possible cases of swine flu! Not his fault! However, I wouldn’t be against Mike’s suggestion of a dedicated announcing crew for every comp…
I agree, but where do we find unbiased members of the surf community that people know, are entertaining and aren’t Australian? Would this crew be multicultural?
Mailman,
What about the guy doing the post-heat interviews? Don’t know who he is (the seppo)? But he seems half lucid and isn’t entirely unwatchable. You know him?
Eric, that’s Dave Prodan, ASP International media manager. He’s the guy that writes the press releases for all the World Tour events, and other ASP stuff. So, yes, he knows what’s going on, but has another job to do! Too bad, he’d be ok in the booth.
Fisher, there’s plenty enough guys out there to have a multi-national webcast crew… Just no blanket sponsor to pay for it, so instead each event pays for and chooses their guys themselves.
@Mike 12:50AM…. everyone knows I pass out drunk before 10 every night, but I do wish Aly Bammy a happy birthday.
Karina proves that home skooling doesn’t work, especially civics class. Grammar, sentence structure and spelling are much easier than geo politics and she doesn’t fare well there either.
Fuck you lewis. We should all save the unborn. Save them from a life of misery and welfare by having them all aborted.
luv,
Patrina
Fucken skanks ! i’m selling my boards and cutting my hair.
Seppos ? What if we called you guys Convicts all the time ?
@john
Ha! That’s funny.
My dads a convict btw.
her boobs look like shit
Patroni is a stupid cunt. I remember reading that quote and thinking how lucky we are that a dumb broad with no education like Karina Petroni isn’t running things. We came close with Falin.
Patroni’s a but-her face, no question. Great body though. Would love to see her get railed in some sort of softcore porn flick.
Mark, just because Faux News tells you that nobody has read the Stimulus bill doesn’t make it true. Not to mention the Stimulus only accounts for 3% of our total debt. It’s merely political fodder, nothing more. Right-wingers sure had a shitty week seeing their beloved leaders go down in disgrace.
Patroni is a dumb cunt. I remember reading that quote and thinking how lucky we are that we don’t have an uneducated twat running things. Came close with Falin.
Patroni’s a but-her face. Would still hit it though, no question. May have rubbed one out before glancing at the thousands of near-naked pics on her website.
Mark, just because Faux News tells you that congressmen haven’t read the Stimulus bill doesn’t make it true. They’ll tell right-wing kooks anything to rile them up. And considering the Stimulus package only accounts for 3% of our total debt, it doesn’t merit the kind of attention right-wingers give it.
Fuck, the site gave some error and I lost the original text. Tried to recreate it. Hence the double (and now triple) post. Apologies. Lewis, respond to your e-mails braham, sent you one a short while back.

Samuels’ jewishness is showing big-time in this hit piece.
Ok so Karina has been a close friend of mine for over 5 years. She is one of the most giving and caring friends I have. She’s definitely one in a million who makes those around her so so so happy and enjoy life to the fullest. What gives some-one like you Lewis, the right to write something so pathetic about such a great person. I hope to never shout you a beer or look at you in the eye, go fuck your self MATE! Your must obviously one of those, one in a million Arse-holes!
I am confused by your critical article.
Here is an amazing athlete and has one of the most beautiful styles, who happens to be one of if not the most marketable female surfer ever. She has been and continues to be one of the largest parts in the growth of women’s surfing in the last 10 years and has encouraged so may other females to start surfing and be a part of this male dominated lifestyle we all enjoy.
As a judge in the surf world, I have met her though the years, she is sweet, kind, considerate, creative and passionate about life. From what I can see. she works hard with the companies she is affiliated with. She is helping Casio market a mobile phone that is water proof. She has been with that brand I think for years. She takes pictures with the phone while on a surf trips. Would we not all find a use for a waterproof phone.
So…
Are we all a sell out if you buy a foreign car versus a US made one. Or products made in China versus helping Americas keep their jobs?
Are you a sell out if you buy less expensive food products that are mass produced and covered with pesticides that fill our streams and oceans with pollutants and kill our worlds sea life… versus buying all organic products that may cost more but are better for everyone and our environment?
So…, How many times have we all lost a phone to water. And… we have an upbeat enthusiastic 21 year old surfer that is excited to own and promote a waterproof phone. Now we all know about this phones great features so we can also benefit from it.
And we men can talk bad about that, and talk about having sex with her and all the other foul things mentioned on this page, etc.
She is 21 and out giving life her best. What were we doing at 21?
By reading this blog, it really amazes me how many heard hearted and cruel men there are in this world. It is really sad.
Why is it that so many people want to tear others down.
All the best to all of you but with our limited time on this earth, should we not build others up than tear them down. Would we not want others to encourage and build us up as well.
Thank you for your time.

Yeah Karina…..what?? Did she offend you liberal kook idiots???? Fuck yeah, it’s called freedom of speech and we need more women like her. She’s too much women for all you little left wing fag boys anyway.
After reading this article on Karina, i looked into her life and I must say, i am quite impressed. She is quite the young lady who really steps out and has gone beyond the other females in the “pro” surfing world, and beyond. It makes all the sense why such “corporate ” brands want to partner with her. If I had a company that catered to a demo of the young at heart, she would be my one and only pick.
I doubt Karina reads these posts but she is amazing to say the least.
Regardless, keeping going strong Karina. You have gone beyond what many others will only dream to do. You will continue to grow and become even wiser in your years. Even though I vote Left, I am impressed with your desires to make this a better country, instead of only taking about parties and such like the other surfer interviewed in the “Prez” article.
Good job as a fellow surfer and American.
I was pleased to read this article, keep up the good work.

Hello there, just wondering how I may contact the owner of this blog? I have my own health site and was interested in featuring your site.
I have been to your site a few times now, and this time I am adding it to my bookmarks :) Your pages are always relevant, unlike the same-old stuff on other sites (which are coming off my bookmarks!) Keep it up!
