We knew that President Obama hails from hallowed surfing ground in Hawaii and spent a bit of his childhood in Bali. We were also aware of his oceanic acumen after watching him bodysurf (with relatively respectable form) at Sandy Beach courtesy of Youtube (below). We even saw him throw us a shaka live on CBS, but this photograph featured on The Guardian’s website was startling. In a short photo feature by The Guardian entitled, Washington Gets Back to Work, which documents government officials returning to D.C. after the holidays, two White House staff officials who accompanied the president back to the Capitol are pictured transporting a pair of stickered-up (Quiksilver! Rusty!), big-wave guns – with at least one of the two boards shaped by a member of the legendary Tokoro family.
No, these aren’t soft tops. They’re not fun boards. They’re the real deal: full-fledged rhino chasers. So for those in doubt, I guess this photo settles it: Obama’s got guns.
