The surfing world is abuzz with the rumour that oldfartsurf legend, Rouge, could soon join Old Farts Surf Co. (OFSC) World Series Surfing Splinter Group. Rouge, who has been in virtual retirement at his Castle Hill estate since Easter, snuck out for a few barrels at Whale Beach over the Christmas break. Apparently groms mobbed him on the beach for autographs.

It is believe that commitments to his current sponsor, CBA, have so far prevented him joining the splinter group. "They expect me to turn up at their office five days a week" said Rouge to the Oldfartsurfer when he enquired. Surf industry spokesman and OFSC Head Honcho, The Mexican said "we are concerned with the introduction of non surf industry sponsors of high performance surfers as they don't understand that the need to drop everything and surf is at the very soul of the sport-art." "We've got Rouge and his Missus signed up with OFSC Original Series Tee shirts individual nos 45 and 58 (don't tell his missus till the 16th January, its for her birthday), but the CBA wont come up with the skin for the requisite OFSC hollow timber surfboard needed to enter the events, in fact they wont even give him time to compete." Rouge told the Oldfartsurfer that he was really keen to enter the next round of the Splinter Group world series on the wild west coast of Tasmania, but his sponsor is really letting him down. Perhaps he can resolve the sponsor issues by February when the following event is on.

Rouge was recently heavily criticised by the Canadian fans of Moose, the latest recruit to the OFSC Splinter Group, when he suggested judges at the recent Splinter Group WCT may have scored her highly on her appearance rather than surfing ability.Tell the Oldfartsurfer what you really think or simply leave a comment.
