Where all have the funnymen of surfing gone? Has mega-bucks sponsorship and corporate cash sucked the humour from our sport? We look at five dudes that can almost make you chuckle.

Jay Bottle Thompson

Paul Fisher
The ex-WQS surfer and now full time Fish Tales blogger, might not be everyone’s idea of humour, but anyone who interviews Kelly Slater with a microphone in the shape of a 12 inch black dildo, is fine by me.

Matt Wilkinson
Matty Wilko is plain weird, but that’s what we love about the kid. In the increasingly sanitised world of pro surfing, his Out2brunch blog stands out like tits on a bull. Don’t change Wilko, please.

Seabastian Zeitz
