Are you kidding me? Contests just don’t get better than last week’s Billabong Pro Tahiti. So much so that Vaughan Dead and I have an on-air meltdown in honor of the Top 35’s heroics.
And was it Cape Fear, or Cape Fizzler? Underground tube-wrangler Ryan “Hippo” Hipwood sets the standard at the Red Bull Cape Fear Challenge, one where the Hawaiians get smoked — but does anyone care? Shit was like, four foot? And what about Brad Domke stealing the show? Is he surfing’s version of the Riddler?
Also, the death of Jay Adams: the man, the Dogtown legend, the born-again christian, the rebel, the drug addict… the gay basher? Yikes!
Wanna know what it’s like to take Miky Picon‘s girlfriend, Filippa Hamilton, to bed? She recently took out the number one slot in the Stab Magazine‘s hottest pro surfer girlfriends. Here’s a little insight into Miky’s sex life:
Jed: Do you enjoy the wilder side of sex, with games that include asphyxiation and sadism?
Miky: Not really, I’m a lover. But definitely a bit of power from the man doesn’t hurt.
*Cough.*
Ain’t That Swell then heads to Sydney’s splendorous State Theatre for the premiere of Strange Rumblings in Shang Ri La, Joe G and Globe’s hit surf film of the year. Then Jed gets barred from the after party ’cause the “filthy fucken secko c–ts” don’t approve of his haircut. Which leads us to our inaugural JED’S ANGRY segment. (You don’t wanna miss this. I really know how to wind myself up). We close the show with one of our famous lists: Big Name Surfers with Organic Hessian Retreats. Sure, it sounds obscure, but it’s totes not. In fact it features none other than: Kohl Christenensen and his off-the-grid avocado farm in Hawaii; the Malloy brothers’ Stoke Grove Farm; George Greenought’s National Park snake pit-crib; the Yamba Tree House scene circa 1969; Cheyne Horan and the Goonengerry cult. You’ll never believe who took out number one…!
