A buffet of barrels.
You’ve already seen this gem on StabStitch and Surfing-Er and, if you are 43 and drive a Toyota Corolla and dream of moving out of mother’s house, The Inertia. But it is worth seeing it here because I love Damien Hobgood.
Damien Hobgood is possibly the greatest man on earth and tied as my favorite surfer with CJ Hobgood. I saw him at Souplantation just the other day because my 2¼ year old daughter thinks it is heaven even though it is, quite possibly hell.
Souplantation, if you don’t know, is a buffet of salad and soup and pretend pizza. My 2¼ year old daughter loves the peas and the noodles from the chicken soup. I like none of it. But I take her at least twice a week because she is souper cute. And just the other day I walked in and there was Damo and his three children and his wife. He and his wife looked very tired but they were such grand parents to the children and we all laughed about many things and they made me happy to be at Souplantation.
The moral of this story is kids make you tired, don’t go to Souplantation if you can help it, but if you do go pray that Damien and family are there. And get barreled.
For a minute there I assumed Damian was now working at Souplantation.
He might be sooner than later! Me too, though. BeachGrit did not sell for millions.
