The latest instalment of License to Chill, Island Oscillation…
More Mason Ho?
Yes, please!
Can anyone get enough of the kid?
Creative approach, barrel slayer. As much as I love seeing him in heats I really prefer his edits.
So surf stoked, plays the happy card real well. Nothing but butterflies and rainbows going on upstairs. I’m sure he’s deeper than that, but the public persona is great. Like a big loveable labrador retriever.
What’s the name of that NS hell wave he loves so much? Right between Logs and Rockpiles. So fucking shallow. I’d call it unsurfable if I hadn’t seen so many killer clips.
Random fact: I went to elementary school with ...Lost filmer Joe Alani. He was in my younger brother Cody’s class.
Other random fact: Rory Pringle’s first name is short for Riordan. Mine isn’t. Just plain ol’ Rory.
Johnny Boy Gomes once threatened to kill me. He was working as a private surf guide for some Japanese tourist and the longboard he middle-manned for his client was taking too long. When he came back a few days later he picked up the freshly polished board and accidentally smashed the nose into an overhead pipe. Then demanded we fix it for free.
I don’t really miss Oahu.
Kauai’s better in nearly every way. But you just can’t beat the awesome reality of living on the Seven Mile Miracle when there’s swell in the water.

what?! i do that at my home beachy. i thought that was the point of localism
I’m not a Mason superfan by any means, but that ollie from one wave over the back of the one in front of it? C’est magnifique!
3:45 is the most perfect pipe wave I’ve ever seen with the most perfect claim. I was worried we would never see the claim again after the WSL deemed it ‘un-sanitary’.
potential blood feud: mason’s clips vs wsl… could these clips put the wsl out of business? I believe so… pali gap, very magma plasma.
It’s a double standard for sure. Really I should be making an effort to be accommodating to them when they surf here in the bleak hope they will mention it at home and the attitude will change. It is so tempting to burn them when you have ten blokes you know in the water standing by in your own country. You could easily grab one and drag him through the ti-trees, break his board over his back and leave him for dead. But it doesn’t make it right.
Don’t forget a lot of the Indo’s are muslim, that’s a problem waiting to happen. The new jihad on surfing.
Fortunately that is one aspect that is less prevalent in Bali as opposed to the rest of Indo.
Nah i know they are mostly Hindu, but i have met a few “Usmans” that were from other areas that were
Tone it down gents, or I may be forced to beat you with my Stick of Intolerance.
I’m from America we have guns of intolerance,heyump
That’s the spirit! A cultural exchange!
Just got back from West Java – the Muslims are way mellower and far more accomodating than the Balinese dickheads…
I’ve seen a few Indonesians with Da Hui stickers. It gives you a license to burn them. They’re starting to travel internationally a little bit more now. Mostly pretty nice guys when they’re out of their element (especially wearing rubber). I still drop in on them a bit though. They’re weak paddlers and generally seem quite fearful of local retribution. I feel they have been sold a lie of what other locals around the world do and therefore try to enforce something farcical at home.
What a vid. Dude is legit.
it would be funny to do a Honey Badger voice over for his videos. Like, “oh, there’s a huge fucking rock in the way! Does Mason care? Fuck no. Mason Ho don’t give a shit.”
Don’t think they have another name for small rock piles Rory. It’s not inbetween. It is the pile of rocks that gives rock piles it’s name. Directly in from the reef when it’s big and north swell
I could use a little less of that cross step cheater five thingy he does. Seems like he’s trying to have a little TOO much fun.
Na He’s not trying. Might look like that but if u met him. He’s wacky dude that loves having fun
yeah, I take it back. it’s a pretty sick way to spice up a boring floater. I guess I just wish they lasted longer. It needs to cut to a super close up Bruce Brown style slow-mo. Like CypherVision or something.
Are there any positive JBG stories out there?
He has porked up a fair bit as of late. That makes me kind of happy I guess.
All hail @cavieiradecocom4dedickkilla aka wiggs.
Lets not ruin BeachGrit with mention of that fucking idiot. Treat him like a ghost for now on.
True.
He once said he’d break my nose back as a favor… Even tho It was never broken,hmmm.
JBG got a “Trill prom surping Pipe”.
