Re: Just general surfing stuff
Absolutely tripping- there is no market value for a free surfing longboard chick- in effect a bikini model who surfs.
That's why her insanely over-valued contract got cut by 90%.
She needs a job.
Welcome to the real world Kelia- all the best and keep surfing.
btw, there is no racial angle- your contract has not been cut because you have brown skin (as you subtly alluded to).
White gals are similarly bereft of sponsorship unless they can actually provide value to a company.
PS- you're not an athlete.
pps, thank God we got through all the guff at the start to the real reason.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Kelia is a special case. She has 728 thousand follows on instagram. She gets a lot of additional exposure thru Justin Bieber’s wife being her best friend. She is beautiful and articulate. Very marketable. I can see her getting some new brand relationships.

Definitely, as a "celebrity" influencer or celebrity adjacent influencer.
But she needs to grow up and lose this childish notion that she is some kind of athlete with a market value, or that she is blazing some kind of anti-corporate path for fellow female surfers.
She's beautiful, clever and well connected- Western capitalism will reward that.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I didn’t think so. She has to talk to her people in social media land and nobody likes a big pay cut.

Agreed, she needs to speak a certain language for social media.
Whether or not that language corresponds to reality is another matter.
almost 100% of that opening stanza was 100% bs

Re: Just general surfing stuff
Ugh, that was dripping with sincerity, and underpinned by entitlement. The delivery was emotionally manipulative and the piano was the kicker. You can still impart your message effectively without all the bullshit. Probs more effectively.
But hey, that’s just me; her sheep probably creamed their collective gussets.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
So, watched that. I’d say they shouldn’t have broken her contract if that’s what happened. Sure offer her a massive pay cut in a year but that’s a breach of contract by the new owners. Whether she’s worth it or not is a different question. Nice lifestyle if you can get it for riding a mal.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I am a surfer and dont care if two corporate entities have monopolised and de monetised professional surfing. It does nothing for my pleasure in surfing.

Re: Just general surfing stuff
I can think of a bunch of retired male pros and lifestyle surfers still on the QuikRipaBong gravy train. Among all sorts of other ‘products’.
Wonder if a cost/benefit analysis stacks up there?

Reckon Occy would have to get a job? Or invested well?
Re: Just general surfing stuff
Spencer Hargreaves is always selling near new boards (mansize volume) on gumtree and he still has quiksilver logos on all of them.
What does he provide for the company these days?
Not like you ever see or hear from him in surf media.
