July’s Comment Of The Month Highlights Surfing’s Most Core Philanthropist

Better late than never, right?

“Right now, there are so many surfers who are getting paid because they’re really good in front of the camera, more than for their ability in the water — and I think that’s kinda bullshit,” said Logan ‘Chucky’ Dulien, in our most recent How Surfers Get Paid episode. “I feel that the guy that surfs the best deserves the money, more than the guy who’s good at putting the phone in front of himself and taking selfies.”

The above quote is an excerpt from Logan’s explanation of how he secured Clay Marzo a deal with RVCA, after paying for the Hawaiian’s travel and filming costs for years. Not to mention, he’s covered Mateus Herdy’s 2025 Challenger Series campaign, up until last week, when Mateus got sponsored by Rivvia, starred in the Snapt 5 world premiere, and came second in the USO, in that order.

Of course, Mateus and Clay aren’t the only benefactors of Logan’s baffling kindness — with the Snapt films and a few other surfers travel budgets hanging on the financial coattails of River Jetties’ most barreled philanthropist.

Logan’s benevolence is a fact that BVPS acknowledges in the comment section of the recent How Surfers Get Paid episode — and one that wins ‘em July’s comment of the month. 

2x COTM winner Mr. Cheddar also adds some very important context, which you can read about here. 

BVPS, please send us an email at [email protected] with screenshot proof of your Disqus account. You just won a free year of Stab Premium and you will be entered in the running for the mega-prize for “Comment of the Year” at then end of, you guessed it, the year.

If you remember from this article, BVPS will now be one of 12 commenters (one for each month) that will be a candidate for COTY. He’ll be sparring against 11 other keyboard vermin for top honors.

And yes, we know it’s the middle of August. Better late than never.
