Billabong XXL Wave Awards Hits Prime Time ESPN….Christian Fletcher hits back

Just when you thought surfing went totally mainstream, Christian Fletcher keeps it core. His announcement of Biggest Wave certainly didn’t please the suits over at ESPN when he pissed on Sebastian Steudtner parade “ And the winner is….the F*ing Nazi who can’t even paddle”
Our Core-shops co-workers said the room went dead, followed by five minutes of awkward whispers. Obviously nobody cheered for the shine Fetcher dealt, but you didn’t hear anyone defend the dick dragging German either.
I mean, they call it the proving grounds for a reason, and that kraut got some harmless heckles for never scratching into his own waves, and leaving some DNA on the reef like the rest of those hell-men.
When it aired on ESPN last Tuesday, no mention of that anti-aryan episode made the final cut, but we’re curious how this will affect the mainstream investment in the industry. If you haven’t noticed, Surfline is littered with ESPN and UFC banners. So will future shows be scripted and censored to protect the endorsement dollars? We hope not.
Since when has a prestigious honor ever been entrusted in the burn-out brain of Christina Fletcher anyways? They used to ban the guy from pro surfing looking and acting like a junkie on tour. But, with progressive surfing bringing in the bacon from corporate sponsors, its turns out he was right all along. He was the future, lets just hope his style of anarchical antics aren’t a thing of the past. Its almost like the event organizers invited this jab for the German. If you disagree, you probably can’t paddle either, or you don’t know Christian Fletcher.
This Christian Fletcher video explains Fletcher’s deconstructive ingenuity.
Where does he get all those fanciful hats?!
