Hang 10. Soul Arch. Pig Dog. Dirty Goleta? 

Submitted for general disapproval: This video, in which Spat commits a sin against the art of surfing that is so grievous that censors intervened.

Dubbed the Dirty Goleta (derived from the contemporaneous paint job on the Devereaux Grafitti Hut, where the atrocity took place) the offending man-eu-ver proves that kook DNA runs deep ...

Table setting: Out with Jim (who after a year or more off the boards acquitted himself well) at Dev. Small day. Good enough sets to push a longboard. Sunny. Fourth day in a row surfing for Spat. Picking off a wave here and there.

Then a nice one rolled through. Connected from the outside to the inside. Picked up velocity. Slid past Jim, who hooted appropriately. In recognition of the hoot, Spat commits the offense, ruining the ride, the wave, the vibe, perhaps even surfing itself. See censored video below.

Hence today's reader contest. View accompanying video. In comments, insert your speculation as to the nature of the Dirty Goleta.

Is it looking like a baboon that can't quite stand up straight?

So that the stations can "Sony Award winning blah, blah, blah" - a mere plug for Sony.
For any aesthetic or production values, you may as award a show a dog turd.

Milgauss ... you and I have a lot in common. Lack of talent-wise.
