Devereaux Devolution: Surfing's Inner Simian

Evolution deniers took a sharp one to the chops today at Devereaux Point in Santa Barbara. Exhibit No. 1: The embedded video from Spat Out in Glory conclusively demonstrating that ape DNA runs strong in humankind's veins.

This is the sort of thing that will end up in a Geico commercial. Note the dull gaze. The tiny, low forehead. The haunchy, straight-backed crouch. The knuckles dragging on the surfboard deck.

This is a dead stick hanging from the evolutionary tree. This specimen, like many recent iterations of the hominid family, lacked body hair. It also seems to lack the instincts and athleticism of its arboreal cousins. Darwin is going to have a field day with this one. ...

It has taken surfing hundreds of years to develop from the Hawaiian past time of kings to a sport with aerial tricks enabled by boards reverse engineered from Area 51. In one short session, Spat Out in Glory thrusts surfing back hundreds of generations.

What have *YOU* done today???
