How good is Todd Klines face?

The ASP have now disqualified and kicked him off tour.

Sounds a bit like sacking someone who already quit....

LONG BEACH, New York/USA (Wednesday, September 7, 2011) – Bobby Martinez (USA), 29, has been disqualified from the ASP World Title competition in New York. What follows is the correspondence between the ASP Rules and Disciplinary Committee and Bobby Martinez:

Date: 7 September 2011
To: Bobby Martinez
Date of offence: 7 September 2011

Dear Bobby,
We are writing to officially notify you that you have breached Article 151, contained in the 2011 ASP International Rule Book (Rule Book).

Article 151 outlines that all Surfers shall not at any time damage the image of the sport of Surfing and can be found by clicking here.

Article 151 has been breached as a result of the numerous comments you made publicly in an interview on the webcast of the current ASP World Tour Event in New York City, which included the following language:

“First of all, I'd like to say (an the ASP are going to fine me) 'cuz I don't want to be a part of this dumb f***ing wannabe tennis tour. All these pro surfers want to be tennis players. They want to do a halfway cutoff. How the f*** is somebody who's not even competing against our caliber of surfers ahead of 100 of us on the one world ratings. They've never been here. They've never f***ing made the right to surf against us, but now we're ranked upon them. Come on now. That's Bull****. That's why I ain't going to these stupid contests no more. This is my last one because FTW, my sponsors is here and I just tell it like it is. This is my last one and I don't like tennis. I don't like the tour… Who gives a f***? You know what I mean?”

“I've been here before. I love this city. I'll tell you right now, if my sponsor wasn't here, I wouldn't be here for this dumb contest. ASP? They f***ing…surfing's going down the drain thanks to these people.”

The interview was conducted on the event live webcast being watched by a global audience, which includes many young children.

Article 147 of the Rule Book provides the ASP Rules & Discipline Committee with the authority to decide appropriate penalties to be issued where there is a breach of the Rule Book.

After careful consideration of these comments and taking into account your multiple offenses of this Article during 2011 that clearly “efface a pattern of unacceptable conduct,” the Rules and Discipline Committee have approved the following action in accordance with Article 147.03 of the

Rulebook:
Rule Breach: Article 151 – Damage to Surfing's Image
Action: You are suspended from the ASP World Tour IMMEDIATELY. You will not take part in the remainder of the World Tour Event currently underway in New York City. A Rules and Discipline Report will be submitted to the ASP Board of Directors to consider expulsion for the remainder of the 2011 Surfing Season. Your suspension will remain in place until such time that the ASP Board of Directors have considered the Report.

Please refer to the ASP Rulebook at the link here for your rights to appeal this decision. Should you wish to have a written submission considered with the Rules and Discipline Report to be considered by the ASP Board of Directors in relation to this incident, please send it to rules@aspworldtour.com before 12 September 2011.

Yours Sincerely,
ASP Rules and Disciplinary Committee

Should be article 151: anyone who dares criticize the ASP in a public arena. Not very professional of Bobby but great promo for his new sponsor. Bobby only went to do 'promo' for them. Seems like it's getting a whole bunch of it, every surfer in the world knows about FTW now eh?

The last 2 posts say it all. Bums on seats and new marketing opportunity.

There are 2 ways to keep share prices high. Keep buying brands, keep the turnover and remove the costs of running a whole seperate business OR open new markets.

New York has a high population, they also have waves. If you get people surfing in New York in large numbers not only do you increase the amount of surfers but you increase the amount of non surfers that want to wear surf clothing.

Bobby isn't whinging about surfing in New York, he's whinging about the One world ratings system and mid year cut off. Ironically he is safe from both but chooses to protest anyway.

I'd agree that it's great publicity stunt, well just have to wait and see. I wonder if FTW will drop Bobby or keep him as a free surfer.

How good is it seeing a pro sportsman justcrack, Andy roddick is great any i posted this in another forum

I think part of Bobby's problem with the new tour is not so much the guys on it just that the One world tour starts in Brazil so their point is that the Brazilians and people who will chase points in brazil have an advanyage at the mid year cut off cause they have accumulated more points. basically bobo freddie P etc don't want to do ****ty events and are pissed because they are going to miss the cut cause the dream tour now has points accumulated from non prime events.
And also there other point is so far this year for example 2 quik events, if quik give a wildcard to there surfers in both events and he chases points through the early part of the year in non prime location he can accumulate aenough points to be on tour after the half way cut, remeber WCT surfers, don't get seeded into WQS events any more, they all start in the first round, another of Bobo's complaints.
Sure they could surf them but they feel like they have earnt the right to be on tour for a full year.

I should also add the early year events also include in the australian leg.

I think that was their point. although i don't rule out the possibility i missed it all together...and BoBo is just an angry young man.. but a damn fine surfer..


He won't be dropped by FTW this was part of the idea to promote their new brand, just as NY is for Quik. Maybe the should change it to FTASP. By talking about it we have taken the bait WhoTF knew who FTW was before this now you all do...Campaign successful.
