1) Man Surfs SUP Sitting Down… On A Lounge Chair… With A Beer

This is so goddamn idiotic that is moves beyond idiocy and into the realm of pure genius. The idea of a comfortable chair on a SUP was the first piece of genius stroke idiocy.

Then to actually ride waves, whilst drinking beer, elevates this piece of lunacy into sheer art. When he crosses his legs, well, this is surfing idiocy at it’s very best. Such is the comfort and control of this dude it makes a mockery of all SUPers, and perhaps all surfers.

This might be a game changer.Maybe we are the idiots?

3) Australian Surfs On A Shale Carcass Surrounded By Massive Sharks

“Mum thinks I’m an idiot, dad’s not too proud either,” said 26-year-old Harrison Williams of Perth after footage of him climbing above the rotting carcass of a dead whale, which was being chomped by half a dozen tiger sharks and a massive great white shark, went viral last year.

One of my mates said it would be pretty funny to surf the whale, so I did it,” he told Seven News, idiotically. As the footage shows, Williams dives into the water from his boat, climbed on top of the half eaten whale and ‘surfed’ it until his friends pulled the boat near enough for him to jump back on-board safely.

He also told Seven News that he did not think he was in danger at the time. “The sharks were too busy chomping on the whale so it wasn’t too bad,” he said, again, idiotically.

4) Kelly Slater Joins Baywatch

Aged just 21, with one world title and the surfing world at his feet, Kelly Slater did exactly what ever other once-in-a-lifetime talent would do, and went and joined a cheesy beach based sitcom called Baywatch.

This ensured that his wooden acting talents could be showcased to the nation as a whole, and a huge amount of ridicule from 98 per cent of the surfing world. The fact that it was over two decades ago hasn’t really soften the edges, with many of the Australian pro surfers still calling Kelly, Jimmy (after his character in the show Jimmy Slade).

Mind you from this short stint he did end up dating Pamela Anderson (the 1992 version, not the current Panto version), so again maybe it is his ridiculers, and not Kelly, that are the idiots.

6) Funny Surfer Dude Unintentionally Parodies All Surfers

Over two million people have enjoyed one of the most idiotic, and hilarious, news interviews of all time when a surfer is questioned on Fox News.

“Brah it’s just like, dude you get the best barrels ever dude, just like you pull in, you just get spit right out of em, you just drop in and just smack the lip KWAPAHH!!” starts off our Californian surf clown, the KWAPAHH!! being the obvious highlight.

He’s not done yet though continuing with. “Then you drop down smack BAHHHHH!! Then after that you just drop in, just ride the barrel and get pitted sooo pitted like that.”

7) TV Presenter Attacks Pro Surfer Live On Air

Perhaps more uncomfortable than idiotic but when Australian TV host Danny Clayton asked Kolohe Andino to “Stay the fuck away from my girlfriend,” live on air it seemed an idiotic thing to do.

For one his “girlfriend” Zoe Cross is only 17, as opposed to Clayton’s 29, which is kinda creepy. Secondly it had the potential to get him the sack and thirdly it pretty much broadcast that Andino had probably been up to no good with Cross.

The interview was held during the Hurley Australian Open, the event which Andino went on to win, again giving him the last laugh on the idiotic saga played out on national television.
