Here’s why you should vote in Clash Of The Legends

Because the sun shines in the rearview mirror. Because watching surfers from the power era take apart Haleiwa is both entertaining and educational. Because respect your elders. Because the lineup of remaining surfers (Brad Gerlach, Kaipo Jaquias, Mark Occhilupo, Matt Archbold, Michael Ho, Tom Curren, Sunny Garcia) is straight-up royalty. Because you get to choose who competes by voting. Because between November 12 and 23, the Reef Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa will light up with a whole lot of air-reverses and this’ll be a real nice injection of the classics. Because concepts like this should be supported, so go support here.
