And the winner is…
Tristan Thomas of Palm Beach
County, FL: “It’s said that the loss of one sense enhances all the others. Deaf
surfer Martin Fucci, playing his own version of the Final Four.”
Honorable mention goes to Jason Andre of Buxton, NC:
“Due to the physical nature and acoustics of the barrel, Martin CAN actually
hear everything in the universe at the same time, including the jerk out the
back saying, ‘Man, he ain’t gonna make that!’ Well sir, he did, he heard you,
and he’s calling you out!”
And DJ QP of Garden City Beach, SC: “BREAKING NEWS…
Martin Fucci is not deaf, he just has an extreme case of swimmers’ ear from
getting deep all these years.”
Tristan will receive a Bubble Gum Surf Wax
Prize Pack, complete with four bars of Bubble Gum Original wax for every season
(Cold, Cool, Warm, and Tropical), one bar of Rob Machado’s Organik
Blend Wax, a Bubble Gum Air Freshener, Bubble Gum Key Chain, Bubble Gum Wax
Comb, and a handful of Bubble Gum stickers that come with valuable online
coupons (www.bubblegumsurfwax.com). Plus you get a DVD of 2010 Irish surf documentary Waveriders (www.waveridersfilm.com), a copy of Joe Cheshire’s 2008 flick The Dirty South 2 (www.digitalwunderland.com), and a CD of Baltimore, MD, band Nuke The Soup’s
