Anyways, I don't always agree with what he has to say, but LS always cracks me up. And that's what we need: something to talk about ragarding the tour. Most people don't even understand what priority is, while LS is fluent with the stats. Keep up the good work, bro. As for the Brazilians... Well, Brazilian chicks are the hottest - possibly a distraction? SA Vibes 03/19/2009 11:04 PM You guys tune Lewis, but you still read his articles! you uos are lame. Lewis, keep up the good writing jay 03/19/2009 10:21 PM you kids are straight up retarded.......lewis the jihad post and drew courtney post were by far the best two......hysterical! jay 03/19/2009 10:10 PM wow you kids are retarded..........lewis the jihad post and drew courtney post are the best two......hysterical Whiner Nation/...Not Smart Enough 03/19/2009 09:34 PM ALSO. "Concerned Surfer"? "Pretty Bummed"? "I am so 'concerned' about the Power Rankings." HA "I am so "bummed" to hear something less that glowing about my surf-god heroes." Boo hoo. And...if any form of media (not "the news", but means of expression) can create such a stir, as Samuels does in all your panties, then it therefore IS worthy and successful. Even YOU were forced to think (sort of) and disagree. Better than the "sympathetic to the pros and the surf [company]" junk forced us. Whiner Nation 03/19/2009 09:22 PM Aside from not being smart enough to enjoy the rankings humor, you are all not objective enough to read an accurate assessment of the surfers. You guys have a hero worship complex. Some of you almost had an aneurysm after reading something un-worshipful about Slater. Did you know Kelly's spoken for, & that he's not gay? Sorry to break it to you. ALL last year when Kelly dominated, Samuels gave him loads of deserved credit.Did you forget? K.S. disappointed in AU. Samuels' words will motivate many aren't smart enough 03/19/2009 09:09 PM Samuels' Power Rankings easily one of the only features that I actually look forward to on Surfline. The "humor, references, and sarcasm," as one of you admitted not having the intelligence for, are truly enjoyable, as are the accurate assessments. And did one of you whiners actually write this? "Surfline should hire someone more sympathetic to the pros and the surf companies. As these comments show, we don't deserve honesty, humour or critical writing. Too hard to understand." Pathetic. Andrew 03/19/2009 08:53 PM Lewis - is one of your parents an Aussie? It is not often we get to see the intelligent American sense of humour down under (cue canned laughter). I especially liked Nic Muscroft/Drew Courtney/Phil MacDonald connection. And you are spot on with Ben Dunn, too - mutton dressed as lamb thanks to his supercoach daddy Martin. Classic stuff! srfmstr 03/19/2009 08:13 PM brilliant....17th rate. rm 03/19/2009 08:04 PM damn, you people really have no sense of humor. the Slater rant was Lewis being funny and sarcastic. your life must suck if you cant see humor in that. also, who f-ing cares anyway....i know slater doesnt. JimG 03/19/2009 08:03 PM If you thought LS was serious about Kelly for even a millisecond, then you are retarded. 03/19/2009 08:01 PM I love reading this. It's good to come home from an early surf and a hard days work to catch up with the tour and read lewis' writtings. It's entertaining and sometimes right-on. Keep up the humor Leo Italia 03/19/2009 07:58 PM cool ranking ! But why so much shit talking about the euros? Does Samuel hates europeens ? first tiago,aritz and picon last year and flores this year.You Should be talking good about a new continent who has 7 surfers trying their hardest to be recongnize in an english world. I'm a big fan of surfline,Thank you so much for all the surfing news since many years. Rob 03/19/2009 07:54 PM Surfing needs critical writers like LS who aren't on the WCT. Every sport has writers who never played at a professional level. They provide an everyman's perspective and don't feel compelled to kiss the proverbial ass of the brotherhood. I, for one, salute LS for his brutal honesty. Oh yeah, and LS is almost assuredly a better surfer than anyone who posted comments on here. ohman!. 03/19/2009 07:53 PM Man, you people are so crazy. All this nonesense talk about the Brazilians, Kelly etc... He is the best and noone other that Mr.Curren will do what Kelly has done for surfing. No one!. Surfing is always for fun even when it's for money. It supposed to be I guess. Kelly will get his title again. So what?. That glory is just for him not you all. Who cares what all u crabby people feel.
