momjohn seems like she's just their for the party. medina's step dad is the helicopter parent equivalent of dino andino.
Dino also is there to help Kolohe win... Mom John is there to keep an eye on John John... He seems a little old to have his mom travel with him
ZoSea has rigged every last heat this year to ensure that a Brazilian wins the world title in order to push for the acquisition of a major Brazilian sponsorship. We have Australia and the states covered... we have to politically protect our sports franchise as a world sport by getting sponsorships in all corners of the globe. it's got nothing to do with surfing. when they're scoring these guys to the hundredth of a point, it's way too easy to rig this ****. how come no one else notices this? #gosurfalready
i've been on this tip for quite some time. check my older posts out on this exact topic. i think you're right tho, tinfoil be damned.
sounds about right, pro surfing is less about surfing, and more about pro (money, TV, whoring etc) gotta get everyone to buy into the soap opera
I have said similar things recently. Especially about the markets in the US and OZ. But here is the piece of the pie that makes no sense. Brazil is one of the poorest countries in the world and people with disposable income there are NOT fans of surfing. So why are you going to pump money into a surfing economy in that region? From a business standpoint, it makes no sense. Sure, the Tour itself will pay a few bills with a new sponsor, but there is not going to be a burst of boardshort and surf board sales in Brazil because of any of this. Mexico has some of the best surf on the PLANET and they are not even considered a part of the surfing world from a business standpoint. Same as Brazil. That is a big waste of time and money. If the ASP was going to rig anything, it would be to lift the Australians. That is where the market it. Surfing is their national past time. They spend money on it. Way more than we do.... The HI and CA markets have been over exhausted in the past 10 years. Brazil makes ZERO sense to me as far as trying to rig a victory. Although I still agree with your premise.
Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, etc all good when I paddle out at pumping sunset and 25/30 are brazzos, it makes me weep
Brazil is is the largest country in both South America and the Latin American region and it is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population. they have a population of 190 million people and while the country isn't first world quite yet, the opportunity is there. they have a coastline that is 4,650 miles long. this place is an absolute gold mine for professional surfing. think california right after gidget but pre-short board revolution.
Brazil i/brəˈzɪl/ (Portuguese: Brasil, IPA: [bɾaˈziw][7]), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, listen (help·info)),[8] is the largest country in both South America and the Latin American region. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population.[9] It is the largest Portuguese-speaking country in the world, and the only one in the Americas.[10] Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 km (4,655 mi).[11] It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile and occupies 47 percent of the continent of South America. Its Amazon River basin includes a vast tropical forest and is the scene of debates over deforestation. Brazil was inhabited by numerous tribal nations prior to the landing of explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500, who claimed the area for Portugal. Brazil remained a Portuguese colony until 1808, when the capital of the empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro after French forces invaded Portugal. In 1815, it was elevated to the rank of kingdom upon the formation of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. Its independence was achieved in 1822 with the creation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The country became a presidential republic in 1889, when a military coup d'état proclaimed the Republic, although the bicameral legislature, now called Congress, dates back to the ratification of the first constitution in 1824. An authoritarian military junta had led the nation from 1964 until 1985. Brazil's current Constitution, formulated in 1988, defines it as a federal republic.[12] The Federation is composed of the union of the Federal District, the 26 states, and the 5,564 municipalities. The Brazilian economy is the world's seventh largest by nominal GDP and the seventh largest by purchasing power parity, as of 2012.[13][14] A member of the BRIC group, Brazil until 2010 had one of the world's fastest growing major economies, with its economic reforms giving the country new international recognition and influence.[15] Brazil's national development bank (BNDES) plays an important role for the country's economic growth.[16] Brazil is a founding member of the United Nations,[17] the G20, CPLP, Latin Union, the Organization of Ibero-American States, the Organization of American States, Mercosul and the Union of South American Nations. Brazil is one of 17 megadiverse countries, home to a variety of wildlife, natural environments, and extensive natural resources in a variety of protected habitats.[11] Brazil is a regional power in Latin America and a middle power in international affairs,[18] with some analysts identifying it as an emerging global power.[19] Brazil has been the world's largest producer of coffee for the last 150 years.[20] The economy of the resource-rich nation had been booming until 2010 but stagnation followed and a recession is now underway, along with inflation and charges of corruption and the bankruptcy of a major oil business. Angry demonstrators in 2014 complained beforehand at the high $11.5 (US) billion cost of sponsoring the World Cup, but Brazilians took pride in its smooth functioning. President President Dilma Rousseff, on the left, faces a conservative challenger for her reelection bid in the October 26, 2014, runoff.[21]
Who is this Medina guy? When is Elko's heat? Potz is going up against Curren on the one side of the draw. It'll be tough to take out Hardman though.
Holy sh!t SS. You are a smart dude. You know a lot about Brazil! Do you know all this info for every country?
was there not a man who let that whole crew stay feral on his land for next to nothing and hid behind some alleged hawaiian cultural scheme?
