Quiver, judges, and breaks of choice for Surfing Survivor reality show

Dude u need a fresh hobby. #forumaddict #howdoyouhavethetime

 

Come on Spicoli, the hashtag thing was pretty funny. #dontgetallbutthurt

 

Says the 49 page NFL thread overlord.
Seriously though, you have a lot of free time and yes I'm jealous. What did you do with that time before SI?
Please don't curse me out and refer to a bunch of things I'm unaware of Just answer or tell me to blow a donkey or something. (Donkey noise here)

"This week... on A & E's Forum Addicts.... a young man fights a debilitating posting addiction. Meanwhile; someone blows a donkey." (Donkey noise here)

 

This is a hard place to be imaginative. Most sheep don't like to know the plan they just want to follow. I think its a great idea. It pretty much follows the same idea the UFC took with The Ultimate Fighter. Of course it would promote the over commercialization of surfing but let's get serious, our little secret is pretty well known.

I think a show like this would be great to show what a top tier surfer has to do to stay at the level and how a lower skilled surfer can progress given the instruction, time and resources.

You donkey boys would be the biggest fan boys of this show.

 

I don't have cable mang.

 

man you should go adopt a dog or take up Frisbee golf or something.

 

since it's going to be flat here on the east coast for the near future, i'm going to play along...but if we're going to do this, let's force the competitors to be skilled in ALL aspects of surfing, not just contest-style hp shortboarding.

3 Judges
Must be alive and notable in a major way to the surfing culture. Two of the three picks can be ASP pros or former ASP pros, while the third has to be either a cultural figure or a niche (big wave) surfer.
Judge 1: Tom Curren
Judge 2: Joel Tudor
Judge 3: Mark Healey

2 Team Coaches
Must be two active ASP professionals.

Team 1 Coach: Steph Gilmore
Team 2 Coach: KS

Break Categories
1) Must choose a break from each of the six continents other than Antarctica. NOTE: Hawaii is not part of North America and is a Polynesian sub-region of Oceania.
2) You have two Wild Card choices that can repeat a continent as long as they satisfy a break category. These will be best used to satisfy the less than stellar break types.
3) You can use a given break for a given category if that break has conditions that fit into a category on at least a semi-regular basis (certain seasons or weeks) since even world-class breaks don't always have bombing surf and are attractive since they offer different conditions by the day or time of year. Many breaks will fall into several categories at different times of year.

Big Wave Break: Aileen's - Ireland (Europe)
Gnarl Break: Shipstern Bluff - Australia (OCEANIA)
Right-hand Barrell Break: Jeffrey's Bay - S. Africa (AFRICA)
Left-Hand Barrell Break: Uluwatu - Indonesia (Asia)
Overhead-DOH Point Break: Punta de Lobos - Chile (S. AMERICA)

Waist-Chest Mush Break: Cardiff Reef - California, United States (N. America)
Ankle-Waist Mush Break: Virginia Beach - Virginia, United States (N. America) (WC #2)
*seriously? why even include this last category?*

COMPETITOR'S PICKS - BOARDS & WETTY

Must be brand-name since this show is sponsored, and larger independent shapers that would have a bankroll to get on as a sponsor can be used in addition to major manufacturers. You can pick the same board for different categories of breaks (i.e. same board for RH Barrell & LH Barrell. For big wave boards and such, your board choices will be assumed to be for tow-in unless you specify it is a paddle-in.

Big Wave Break: Aileen's - Ireland (Europe) 10'0" Christenson gun (quad)
Gnarl Break: Shipstern Bluff - Australia (OCEANIA) 6'6" Stretch roundtail quad (tow in)

Ditto: ditched my tv 2+ yrs ago. Besides, I'm still mentally drained from the 'Hello' thread...

 

Hahaha F*kin' A! Who needs tv after that thread!? Funny thing is I've been cable free for some time now, just had it reconnected in the basement for my roommate...the habit's so broken now that even with it available it's just not even an option.

 

Dude... most sheep don't like to create, they just want to watch.

Put a show on like this and you'll have every sitcom-loving Hollister-draped sack of corpulence who sponged once as a kid asking you dumb questions whenever you go somewhere with a board. And if you want to see what time, money, and coaching can do for a low level surfer, can't you just check out the Hamptons or Orange County?

Surfing is highly commercialized, thats true. Despite the fact that Capitalism has already co-opted it, along with skateboarding, there is still an inherent subversiveness in both; they keep us outside, creatively interacting with environments, the way manimals were meant to. They can also provide kids with creative values that counteract the pressures of team-sports mentality and corporate douche-squadery... plus, maybe it keeps some kids off of junk and/or Kassers vodka.....

F**k this show, f**k cable, and f**k the whole television industry. I'd rather watch a documentary interviewing the crackheads of AC about what they think of D-Trump. If I were the producer I would load the boards in a van and bring the instructors to a low-income beach community and spread some stoke where it belongs....

 

Hey it's Monday and it's flat. I'll play.
