Who Blew Up
|
|
1. Hot Rod
|
 |
| Just when we thought the Dirty Dirty Uncle was about to take a patent out on Movember along came Hot Rod to reinstall a little humility. And boy did he do it with style, speed stipes on his chest and all! Congratulations to Hot Rod who walks away with a serious arm full of prizes for taking out this year’s win.

| These two well known rippers demolished their competition at the Guido’s event in Port Alfred this weekend. Ricky gleefully re-donning the contest jersey to school everyone in sight and Sarah surfed out of her boots to take out the womens win. According to event organiser Dave Fish it was the perfect summer contest. “Contestable waves, great jols and some amazing surfing... and Sarah surfed better than a lot of the guys in the the men’s event! |

| 3. John-John Florence |

|
| Sheow bra, into the lead on the Triple Crown rankings heading into Pipe (where he’s already won twice this year), courtesy of his victory at Sunset. This puts an interesting spin on things because now he has real incentive to make life difficult for Kelly and Joel in The Pipe Masters |

And Who Blew It?
|
| |
1. Alan Riou.
|
| |
| Despite the fact that the surfer he lost to at Sunset is one of the most talented surfers ever to grace this planet’s shores he still lost to a girl! Carissa would beat a lot more guys on tour given the chance, but unfortunately for Alan this defeat is going to be a difficult one to bury! All that French Euro Macho shit gobbled up in one heat at Sunset with by the diminutive and impish Women’s World surfing champion. Unless he can pull off an ‘Andy’. Like when he lost to Keala Kenelly in his youth Alan is going to be spending some time on his shrink’s couch for sure! |

2. All the girls who didn’t rock up to the Guido’s event in Port Alfred this weekend.

| The girls often complain that there are not enough events for them on the local tour, so when someone goes to the trouble of including a women’s event and only 4 chicks rock up you only have yourselves to blame. |
| |
| 3. The Dirty Uncle. |
 |
| |
| After dominating last year’s event so completely the Dirty Uncle left himself wide open to be taken out by the likes of Hot Rod. He played his trump card (in all it’s porno finery) a week too early and he didn’t adapt and keep up with the game. In the end he was out foxed and out played by the newcomer with speed stripes on his chest. Will The Dirty Uncle recover from this or will this spell the end of his domination of the facial hair sweep stakes. Only time will tell, stay tuned for next year. |
