GET A LIFESTYLE
July 21st, 2010
Some kids go to school, work hard, study weekends, get top marks, attend university, graduate with honours, choose a career that will ultimately benefit humankind, loose all contact with the outside world, spend almost their entire life searching for a cure for cancer, find it, be celebrated throughout the world, eventually be forgotten, live what’s left of their lives alone in an empty bedsit.
Then there are the other kids: might manage a couple of classes between surfs, kick off a career on the Pro Junior surf series, win a couple events, more friends than flees on a Balinese dog, move onto the WQS, find a sponsor, travel the world on the company dime, appear in a popular women’s magazine, get thrown some product, fall off the tour, loose their sponsorship, discover their manager has cleaned out their bank account, can’t find work, abuse substances, get kicked out of their flat, move into a box under a railway bridge, spend the rest of their lives drinking mineral turps and orange juice and listening to voices. Mambo team surfer, Luke Cheadle has just arrived at the “product” stage

Advice to kids who have just been picked up by a sponsor: If your sponsor produces a range of underwear, make sure that’s the brand you’re wearing when someone takes your photograph
