You give a guy a medal from the Queen of England and look what happens: Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew announces he’s going to retire as President of the Association of Surfing Professionals:
“After deep consideration, I have decided not to seek a fifth term as ASP President,” Bartholomew said. “I depart from ASP with nothing but positive feelings. After 36 years in the engine room of the sport, the timing of this decision is of the utmost importance to me. I feel the time is right. I leave at the height of my effectiveness perhaps I could say the height of my popularity in the surfing world.”
Anyone think he’ll will be able to coast off into the retirement sunset any time soon.
