After all that hoopla about the “sexist” Roxy Pro edit and the “butch lesbo” facebook response, reportedly from Quiksilver’s Chad Wells, event organizers have now cancelled the Roxy Pro Biarritz for a complete lack of waves.
“It’s been a challenging week surf wise, but the world’s best female surfers have still enjoyed themselves in the beautiful town of Biarritz,” Jessi Miley-Dyer, ASP Women’s World Tour Manager, said. “While we’re disappointed that the swell never manifested for this year’s event, we’re very pleased to announce that Roxy have committed to rescheduling the event to run in conjunction with the Quiksilver Pro France men’s event in late September. This will allow the 2013 ASP Women’s World Title race as well as the requalification campaigns of the world’s best female surfers to continue in the best possible fashion.”
The Roxy Pro will now be held in with the men’s Quiksilver Pro France in Hossegor, which is scheduled for September 24 – 30, 2013. For the official word from the ASP, follow the jump

Speaking of Roxy. . . the 2013 Roxy Pro Biarritz begins tomorrow, July 10, 2013. For those who haven’t been following the women’s pro tour Australian Tyler Wright, 19, is currently cruising in the number one spot after winning on the Gold Coast and in Brazil.
“This year, the intensity of each event makes the tour very entertaining,” Wright said. “It’s so intense! It’s pushing women surfing so far. I’ve brought 10 boards here but haven’t tested any of them yet. We’ll see what the surf delivers.”
Yes, we will. And we’ll see if Stephanie Gilmore (picture above) looks as good in the event as she does in the promo video. Follow the jump for the official word from the ASP.

The life of a celebrity is tough. The only goal: staying famous. So, if you’re famous for doing things in the wintertime (like, say, Shaun White for instance) your big job during the summer is making sure people remember who you are. What better way than heading out to the Montauk Yacht Club for a little dancing, making out, and random ass slapping, according to the New York Daily News.
“Shaun was with this girl and they were making out like crazy,” an eyewitness tells Confidenti@l. “‘At one point he got on top of her and he was touching her butt. . . Our spy then says White strolled up to the bar and eyed a different girl, who was wearing a short, white lace dress. . . “When she passed in front of him he slapped her behind,” says our spy. “She turned around and kissed him while the first girl — who was right next to him — looked on. It was hilarious,” says our insider.
And that, kids, is how you keep a high profile even during the summer.

Australian writer Clementine Ford is not happy with the new promo piece for the 2013 Roxy Pro starring Stephanie Gilmore. No, she doesn’t like the fact that the surfer’s face is never shown nor does she like the absence of surfing in the spot. In fact, she doesn’t like much about it, according to her story on Daily Life.
Because the most amazing thing female surfers can do has precisely nothing to do giving a hidden audience a boner. And while it’s almost amazing that most women spend the majority of their lives in an unacknowledged performance that begins sometime in childhood and ends when menopause makes them invisible once more, our most spectacular achievements (and failures) are unrelated to how appreciative (or dismissive) that hidden audience is of our beauty.
Oh, that again. . . to watch the video (and apparently get a boner and an unnatural attraction to the HTC One) click the link.

Hard to believe that season one of Surf House is finally over. It seems like only yesterday that we were just getting to know the abs and asses that populate the show and now we’re shedding a tear as they say goodbye. Join us for this fond farewell, and maybe just one last glimpse of some taut, tan, and wet skin.
