Joel Vaughan strikes fear into the hearts of nutritionists in his latest edit ‘Zinger’.

The Zinger is a chicken breast filet, double hand-breaded and fried to a golden crust by elite chefs in KFC kitchens around the globe.

The sandwich is unavailable for us fast foodies in the states, as it bombed during its trial period in 2017. Joel Vaughan, however, lives along the central coast of Oz, a land of certain crispy freedoms. 

The 18-year-old loads up on zingers pre-surf and presumably burps up the Colonel’s mayonnaise between hefty full rotations. If anything, this video has taught me that a proper diet has little to no effect on my surfing abilities. This is great because I’ve always been a ‘breakfast burrito over acai bowl’ kind of guy.

Inspired by the spicy poultry, Joel has released a new edit, titled ‘Zinger.’ While inhaling boxes of KFC before a session might sound nauseating, in seems to work wonders for the young punter.
