Hector Santamaria slides and soars in this gem!
I have made no secret of my great love for Hector Santamaria. He is different. He looks different, talks differently, acts differently, sees the world differently and surfs differently. And in our monochromatic surfing world different is gold.
In his new film, The Dimitri Project, I am specifically impressed with how the young Puerto Rican weaves the tube. So much slide! So much vision! I watch and am mesmerized. Mesmerized enough to include Hector Santamaria on the shortlist of surfers to be invited to BeachGrit’s upcoming Revel Tour™ (shhhhhhhhhhh it’s happening later this year and the WSL is gonnnna be sooooo maaaadddddd)!
Watch though for yourself and see. See the wonders and if you disagree with me then….ummmmm….fuck you. Just kidding.
But seriously. Fuck you.
But seriously kidding. I love you. And you are entitled to your opinion.
P.S. WSL CEO Paul Speaker would really like to try surfing one day but is afraid that a wetsuit would less-than-flatter his winter tummy and BeachGrit doesn’t sell boardshorts in a size 42!
P.S.S. That’s not bad though. Different is gold!
P.S.S.S. I’ve been drinking again.

And people say that drinking on the job ruins productivity… Idiots.
I remember when a mustard wetsuit and psychedelic spray would have got you bashed in South Australia. They’re losing their edge.
