One of the surprises of the event, which brought together the best longboarders in the world to the surf mecca Malibu, was the Hawaiian Sally Cohen, who stole the scene. At only 18 years old, the competitor landed a spot in the championship by winning the most votes on Surf Relik's video submission contest. Surfing the board of double world champion Phil Rajzman, she managed to reach 3rd place in her debut event. Sally is the daughter of surf photographer Paul Cohen the "Gordinho", who is one of the legends in the subject on the North Shore. Source / Author: Luciana Figueiredo

"Sally surprised me and surfed a lot, she used my board throughout the event and she did very well, I've been with Sally in my trips to Hawaii and I've done some coaching work for her. She will shine brightly. " Phil commented.

Malibu's Shane Borland will be competing in the Stab High contest at that Waco wave pool in Texas this Saturday. Watch the contest online for a fee, or watch for free at the viewing party at at Jacks Surfboards Santa Monica shop, scroll down for the details.

SHANE BORLAND
20, Malibu, CA
Stance: regular | Specialties: skate-inspired punts
Another skater in Stab High? Yeah, there’s something to that. The consistency of a skate ramp lends itself to a repetition of maneuvers and, as a result, rapid skill growth. Surfing lacked this unique benefit until places like Waco popped up, providing an on-demand, cookie-cutter air section. We’ll see if Shane’s skate background helps him in the pool.

A surfing contest mostly in the air returns deep-fried in the heart of Texas lies the world’s premier Airwave at BSR Cable Park. Pleased to announce that we're taking another dip in the pool for our second annual Stab High Surfing Contest. A quick recap: In 2018, we enlisted 16 of the world’s best aerial surfers. We invited them to Waco, Texas, stuck them on a man-made wave and politely asked they spread their wings. What we found that, without the slightest whiff of hyperbole, the air section at BSR is the best in the world. our competitors thrived in the pool, most never having stepped foot in Waco, Texas. Boy did they fly! We’re doing it all over again on Saturday, June 29th.

According to Surf Relik and the self-pro-claimed "definitive voice of surf", The Inertia, no other surf contest ever did video submissions before.

Never.

Not until 2018 when Surf Relik "pioneered a unique video-submission format", as The Inertia's non-fact checking writer claims.

Another The Inertia writer states, "Finally something different, something that’s never been done before. Relik’s Video Submission Open Qualifier".

This is probably coming straight from Surf Relik themselves though, as Pacific Longer Boarder wrote "Relik’s first-of-its-kind video submission open qualifier".

Appears like Surf Relik's PR Team is just spouting off some BS, And Of Course The Inertia would never question it (not the first time they published lies).

Come on now, not that all surfers would know, but a surfer writing for a surf website, especially one claiming to be the "definite voice of surf", should know video submissions for wildcard spots in surf contests have happened many times before Surf Relik's.

Back in 2013, the Hurley Pro Trestles held a video submission contest for a wildcard spot for the CT event.

In 2018, Gopro held a video submission contest for the OSSC National Championships.

In 2011, there was the Volcom Pipe Pro Wildcard Video Challenge

Oh yeah, the video submission contest to be a Wildcard for the O'Neill Coldwater Classic was held in 2014.

In 2017, INNOCNTS held their 1wv1fn, a longboarding video contest where the winner got an invite to the Vans Duct Tape Invitational.

And there's been others.

So NO, Surf Relik you did not create, pioneer, or do any first-of-its-kind deal with video submissions for a surf contest wildcard spot.

The Flying Tomato put a pair of neighboring properties in Point Dume up for sale and the combined asking price is $27.3 million. The houses are next to each other and are being marketed as separate properties. The larger of the two is 2,175 sqft and is listed at $14.5 million. It features three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private patio and two separate family rooms. Also on the market is the property’s two-story guest house. Listed for $12.8 million, the 2,160-square-foot home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

If you want to buy it, he probably has it listed on Craigslist, here's some photos of the houses.

To all those surfing Malibu this weekend, beware Rhonda Harper of Black Girls Surf will be there, don't fall victim to Rhonda Harper and her $$$$ agenda. She ain't got time for your foolery...But also, don't let her tell you that you or your kids can't surf there either.




First off, take note that some of us here at Shacked didn't want to post this, but by not doing so, we would be letting this person cause more trouble in our community. We were hoping this non-surfer would just disappear back up north with her little "surfing training" scam and nonsense. But by playing up the race issues, she manages to fool people and companies into thinking she is legit. We know for a fact some companies, as well as many of her associates and ex-friends, have seen her true nature and distanced themselves from her, others are just not aware what this person truly is. That being said, we don't find any of the companies that are responsible for her being here at fault because they are fooled by this person, and these do companies mean well. But FFS, just about everything Rhonda Harper preaches against, she does those exact same things: bully, localizing spots, gay-bashing, racist comments, advocating violence, etc... You can easily find proof of all this online, most from her own postings.

Now here we are going to present one example that clearly shows of the type of person she is and why those who are surfing Malibu this weekend need to beware.

As many already Know, she shows up to surf spots and tries localizes the spot for her group. She tells others they can't surf, she even has made the claim she has the beach closed off for her camera crew.* She acts as if she expects everyone to clear out for surfers (of course not for her, as she herself doesn't even surf). It is as if she is looking for some sort of confrontation with other surfers, especially men or any light skinned person. Because she can use it to further her agenda.

A crowded spot like Surfrider, on a Saturday, could be a recipe for disaster with her there.

Take a look at what happened via Rhonda's own Instagram post when her and her surfer showed up at a surf spot that is a known beginners circus spot up north:

Black Girls Surf Snake Beginners
If you dont want to click the link, here's a quick rundown: some beginner was just oblivious and getting in everyone's way. Total kook, but not doing it intentionally, just doesn't know anything about surfing (hey, him and Rhonda have something in common).

But she is quick to switch the story into him being an aggressive surfer that was snaking her surfer, so Rhonda has her surfer, nicknamed "Droppers", drop in on him so she can get some pics and turn it into a sexism thing where a female gets revenge on "lil BOYS" that don't like female surfers.

Yeah, that's how damn ridiculous and deceitful Rhonda is.

One person even respectfully comments: "lmao we actually know the guy in this photo. He’s not aggressive, just oblivious. Sorry if he inconvenienced you guys"

And Rhonda Harper replies with: "welp, I suggest you teach him surf etiquette because no one has time for his foolery. He did it too many times. If she were a guy he would’ve caught licks for sure."

That person then express how he expected an IG account that is supposed to be about tolerance in surfing would be more tolerant of beginners. And that person is completely correct, if Rhonda actually did practice what she attempts to preach, both her and her "Olympic Trainee" should be trying to educate a new surfer on proper surf etiquette. Not be putting him on blast, and once again as she has done in the past, changing a scenario into something it is not just for her own agenda.

She continues to belittle that person, as well as another person who commenting stating it didn't look like the noobie surfer was being aggressive.

She lies, then bashes and bullies people that do not 100% agree with her.

So Malibu surfers, be careful out there, you could be surfing too close to whoever Rhonda brought and she might take a photo of it then claim it's some sexist or racial attack on her surfer. That's what helps her get donations for her "surfer training" .

She might create another BS story at the garbage ex-Inertia writer's website again.

*a link can be provided to the video where she states she had a "closed set" on the beach for her surfers.

And yo peeps at WSL, we know you're reading this, need proof of anything, message us, we will forward you links, photos, screencaps, other sources to contact, etc... And any other companies, you too.

Originally it was to start The holding period on June 18th and last till the 28th, but now Surf Relik is saying their Malibu Event is from the 21st to 24th, with the "Final event dates will be confirmed shortly".
