There are no correction requests tonight. Instead, I’ve been afforded the opportunity to share with you, the Big Journalism readers, one of the very finset of my species. Lest you think alpacas’ skill set is confined to grazing, spitting, and collecting corrections from negligent media types, I would like to introduce you to Pisco, the Surfing Alpaca:
The world of surfing now has its very own alpaca — as a Peruvian surfer “trains” his animal companion, Pisco, how to catch waves.

"Pisco" is RAD!
Come on Retracto – hang er, what six? Eight? "You can DO IT!"
With deep, deep apologies to the Beach Boys:

At huntington and malibu

Were going on safari to the islands this year
So if you're coming get ready to go
Um, uh……crap!
So, no "Retacto the Surfing Alpaca" song I presume?
I love the Retracto song btw!

Pisco is also the national drink of Peru. Very tasty
I don't know about surfing alpaca but it looks like he's quickly learning to be a swimming alpaca.
Llamas don't surf!
Somewhere, Cass Sunstein weeps.
Sunstein may personally litigate this on Pisco's behalf.
He'll probably also insist on having it in a civilian court when the American people will clearly demand it be held in front of Alpacary tribunals.
It's common knowledge that alpaca are the natural enemy of sharks…or something.
tell that a-hole to get a dog
I'm waiting for the hidden meaning………..
Radical dude!
Good effort by you, man. Solid.
And no. No Surfin' Retracto from me.
Pisco is a true testament to how wonderful your species is. Not only does your fleece make wonderful yarn to knit with but you also can hang ten with the best of them.
Thanks Retracto. That tickled the funny bone. It was a welcome relief to get a laugh from Big Journalism today.
Poor, poor Pisco!
Gary – I demand a surfing Retracto song…if only to have a different song buzzing in my head. I keep hearing her "he's comin' at 'ya' in my head I might get paranoid soon.
poor Pisco? He seems like he's totally into it. when you see videos of surfing dogs they LOVE it and jump right back on the boards.
I loved the story and was thrilled that my Russian news site was able to put it up (http://www.rian.ru hit English to read). Fun stories are great to put out besides the boring political life…..
Sunstein can kiss my ass. That surfboard is nothing more than a dinner plate to me.
LOL James – yeah, "Retractooooooo,…..the Surfin' Alpaaaaacaaaa, ….Retractooooooo…..He's surfin' at 'yaaaaaaaaaaa",
An Alpaca like that you don't just eat all at once.
Moving to Peru now. Cu.
If he's talented enough to train an alpaca to surf, maybe he can teach economics 101 to Democrats.
Does anyone have that dude's phone number?
ya, "he's coming at you – on a surf board"
Pisco doesn't look very happy about surfing to me…notice the ears and his attempts to get off, but that's just me an alpaca owner myself.
It's been 10 days I think since a Retracto post. More Retracto, please! I'm sure something out there needs the Alpaca treatment.
Thanks guys and let me spit a great big loogie of alpaca phlem at my buddy Retracto.*
You've done great things out here and if I ever come up to L.A. to visit, we'll have to hit the town and graze at the park, chew some cud, and go pick up some hot chicks at the petting zoo.
Your amigo,
Pisco
