The one and only Mason Ho and also Dusty Payne. But Mason Ho!
Do you love that Rip Curl has an event if only because Mason Ho gets to wildcard? Thank you Claw Warbrick for starting your wetsuit brand in an austere land and thank you Jack Freestone! It is due his injury, or maybe Filipe Toledo’s, that Mason gets to do post heat interviews on the bleak sands of Torquay, Australia. Have you ever been there? Have you ever scanned the depressing bluffs with your sad eyes and felt even more sadness actually seep deeper into your very soul? Mason Ho is exactly the sunshine Victoria needs!
Dusty Payne is surfing too. #shrug.
But Mason! Mason Ho! Read his hilarious 10 worst here and laugh and put him on your Fantasy Surf team straight away. How did you do after Snapper by the way? I did poorly. Does it mean I don’t know professional surfing? Probably.

more interviews pls
WSL should consider extra points for exciting post heat interviews! Until then Mason is staying off my fantasy team
I notice that neither Coco nor Mason have gotten any taller in the years since that photo was taken. They are very short.
You didn’t jump on the Brother bandwagon Chas?
I had brother on my team but no. I didn’t. Though he has the best laugh in professional surfing don’t you think?
I wanna know more about the stories behind Dusty’s “bad attitude” as per Chas’ book.
“worst attitude ever” wasn’t that the quote? – or maybe that was about AI, I must read it again I suppose!
I want the low down on what actually happened to Freestone! Every website has posted the same quote, “he suffered a serious leg injury”.
What the fuck happened??? Did eat shit surfing? Did he get hammered celebrating Wilko’s win and jump in to a pool from a 12’th story hotel room???
Obligatory “it was probably an Alana sex injury” comment.
Too quick for me.
I was gonna include something along those lines but it seemed too obvious, cheap and played out.
Too “Stab.”
Every heat Mason makes is a little “whipped cream bonus” for the people.
I asked Dusty Payne to lower my casket when I die so he can let me down one last time
The nice thing about Stab hiding comments is that almost no one will know you are recycling.
Come on now, you don’t think Bill Cosby has a different set for every town he visits?
Same bag of pills for everyones drinks.
You and Bill, It’s a tight race on who stooped the lowest…
You know when Derek gives you up votes but you don’t really think he read the comment…. It’s just like a bit of an encouragement or thank you for commenting on BeachGrit token. That’s how you should feel about my up vote on this one. It was genius the first time though.
…oh you cynic! But I am thrilled to see comments…
I would do exactly the same thing. It’s okay.
What are you on about? You hand out up votes to just about anyone who has a finger to poke at the keyboard. For a minute I thought we had something special but I learned, I learned about you and your whorish up votes.
You’re absolutely correct but an up vote whore would insinuate I’m gaining something from my promiscuity. That’s Derek’s job. I’m merely a lowly slut or junkie. When someone either says something insightful or has an argument that deteriorates to “eat my faeces” or “I fucked your mum” I feel obliged to up vote because it brings me so much joy watching the futility of their keyboard rage.
You are clearly way too fucking happy. Get some hate in your life will ya?
You’re clearly not familiar with my work in connection with Brazilians.
I am, and I’m a fan. But I also see you regularly up voting mutts like Toofat and Huff(I know he’s not actually Brasilian but I like to pretend he is. Helps maintain my unrealistically high characterization of you lot) and the authenticity of your hatred is called into question. And where’s my up vote for that last comment?!
toofattosurf AKA Sandy is a nice guy. He is a man with no poo-stance stuck behind enemy lines in Brazil. He keeps me under control when my comments get too xenophobic. He is like a PR man on my anti poo stance campaign. Huff is one of my favorite characters because he has remained in character despite so much ridicule. He actually started off with quite a strong following before becoming a punching bag for Cavvy. He doesn’t really fight back anymore which is sad.
just because you did poorly at snapper on FS, doesnt mean you dont know pro surfing. It means the judging is fucked!
Things I am excited to witness during Bells:
-Dusty’s 5.33 heat score in Round 2
-Rory’s continued content dry spell
Rory’s dry spell? What about mine? Like a desert! But I’ve got some clouds on my artistic horizon!
chas, do you have another job outside of this? if not, keep fucking writing
How about surfing models/football players?

Tom Brady rides a tri-fin popout longboard!
And Giselle on a CI!
True to life, the Brazillian is the true ripper, Merrick funshape or not.
I am waiting ever so patiently for his dry spell to come to an end so that Adriano/cock thumbnail on the homepage won’t be throbbing in my face every time I click on the site. Shudder.
…jesus,you wanna talk dry? Today, I started posting two-year-old photos that’ve already run in Surfer.
Wiggs and I enjoyed it!
Why not do a currency exchange forecast for the Ozzie dollar against the US. Whilst dry it would be useful. Mum don’t mind education.
