This is radical, man.
This surf company, Rip Curl, parted ways with actual female surfer Bethany Hamilton just over a year ago because she spoke out against males surfing in the women's league, and now you'll never guess who they've got promoting women's surfing (yes you will).
Yup, you guessed it!
They got a dude who surfs as a chick to promote women's surfing.
Why am I not surprised in the slightest?
Iconic Australian surf brand Rip Curl has come under fire after featuring a transgender boarder in a campaign to promote women's surfing.
Sasha Lowerson, 44, featured on the Rip Curl Women Instagram page on Thursday as part of the company's Meet The Local Heroes of Western Australia campaign.
It comes just months after Rip Curl dropped former brand ambassador Bethany Hamilton - one of the world's most famous surfers - reportedly over her opposition to transgender people competing in women's sport.
Yeah dude, that's a middle-aged, well, you know. And it's honestly kinda creepy.
But hey, at least I've got another brand to add to the list of those I will not support.
Rip Curl deleted the post, by the way. I wonder why. Maybe because normal everyday people spoke out against it and they had to save themselves the embarrassment? Just a theory.
But good for Bethany Hamilton for getting out of this brand before they went full woke.
Here's a quick reminder of why Bethany was dropped from Rip Curl in the first place:
Yup, you just can't say the truth anymore, can you?
