WW’s been on hiatus for a while, but let’s bring it back! This wipeout is from the Raid Revenge and the style is called the “Pitchpole to Pinata.” We all know a pinata is a Spanish paper machet likeness of usually a donkey filled with candy that’s strung from a tree and beat with a stick by Pavlovian drooling youngsters until it explodes and the horde rushes in for the candy kill. In beachcats it’s a little different. We have the popular ‘chicken line’ which is a line from the transom of the boat usually led to a cleat on our harness which keeps us from going forward if the bow pitches in. The term ‘chicken line’ really means the crew is scared of pitchpoling so they’re strapping their pansy ass to the back of the boat. Calling someone a chicken means you think they’re scared thus derived the term ‘chicken line.’ If you’ve chicken lined in, you’ve probably ended up in the familiar pinata pose, needing help from your trusty teammate to get down. I know I’m missing the accent on the ‘n’ in pinata like the crew is missing a stick to beat the strung up driver who pitched him in the water. Hey, they were rocking it before the stick. It’s tough steering in waves so on edge for sure.
