because thet actually rip, i was watching bells this year live... staying up till about 3 in the morning cause they were surfing so fucking good! But i admit i did enjoy the bikinis to.
I understand the money, i just dont like it. It makes girls go... OMG look at her sexy ass in that bikini that will make guys look at me and like me, not if i work hard and learn to shred people will respect me for the activity i do not just my arse! i know surfing isnt the only place this happens but it still pisses me off.
An example of this is Keala Kennelly the woman who towed chopes during the billabong pro this year in the tow in session, balls of fucking steel.
