Re: The Outsider
that's pretty hilarious, there's a heap of high quality surf locations that love having pro surfing events in town.

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Re: The Outsider
Fcuk, if I had a hand in the WSL I'd be spending a lot of that Santa Monica salary money on doing good shit for surf communities everywhere I could. Or just visiting with the top surfers from time to time, with no agenda beyond meeting the local kids and helping judge a club contest or whatever, tha...

Re: The Outsider
Like these CTs do not have to be destructive things for surf communities at all.
But yeah I can't see the WSL doing that soon, right now they can't see beyond next Monday.

Re: The Outsider
channels I'm not steve on this one but if someone wanted to have a CT at a place like Lennox, a great surfing community but one with no history of admitting that level of competition in the door and indeed an explicit history of rejecting it, the way to go would be to spend years building bridges. F...

Re: The Outsider
Plus it had a bit of surf wear industry backing. That Speil about living the dream and the future of the sport wouldn't really wash with your average local would it. It's basically the same argument as building lots of apartments and townhouses so everyone can enjoy the beauty of your suburb. The f...

Re: The Outsider
well Pig Bells has a 60 year history of being the Spot for major surfing events, it's one of the Gathering Places. It's not really the best place for an epic event as per today's standards but that was never quite the point at Bells. From the start it was a place where everyone went in order to surf...

Re: The Outsider
I did think re star power, well who are the stars? All the stars are in other countries now. I thought yeah steve is totally right about this, if JJF and Italo, and Medina and Filipe and all that gang, and Carissa and Lakey came along with Tyler and Steph, and hung out with the kids and surfed with ...

Re: The Outsider
Yeah I think they just had no time, knew they were on a hiding to nothing but like Stark told us, "We thought fcuk let's at least try". they're working out of desperation, trying to save the world tour, it's fascinating to watch. Also super interesting is the different ways in which the various affe...

Re: The Outsider
Why are they doing it then? Are they a not-for-profit organisation, doing it for the benefit of.....?.? as far as I can tell, Dirk Ziff sees himself as a kind of philanthropist in the surfing milieu - a kind of benefactor I don't know this mind you, since I'm not really on the inside of any of it, ...

Re: The Outsider
To me it's just not a thing the whole idea of competition is that it happens in the presence of the Foe. Go away and shoot film of your best rides is a hoax. You could ride 100 waves and finally get one good one. That's not the deal. The deal is outfoxing the opponent. That's where the fire is. Tha...

Re: The Outsider
I've sat back and listened and read a whole pile of old guy bitterness in the past few days re pro surfing and its efforts, not here so much as out there in other comment worlds, and frankly, I think it's just so much piffle. Surfing's fundamentally about that youthful stoke, old guy bitterness is a...

Re: The Outsider
And I tell ya what, there'll be a lot of kids at any of the Australian venues who'll be stoked out of their minds at the chance to meet or even just see people like JJF, Italo, Steph, Carissa, etc etc etc, in free surfs, in competitive action, and maybe saying hello or whatever. Those surfers are ge...

Re: The Outsider
Now maybe it won't click, and maybe down the track this year will turn out to look like the end of the WSL era. But it's a bit early to be making that sort of assumption.
