Is world number 3-ish on the warpath against your very own BeachGrit?
Did you know BeachGrit is just over two years old? We are! And thank you for coming. Thank you so very much for paying us daily visits. Oh we know there is so much we both could and should do better but we is what we is. And as of today we is the most ever!
Ex-champion Gabriel Medina, current world number three-ish, just threatened, through a maybe third party, to maybe sue because our own, wonderful, Rory Parker posted a direct translation of his Instagram post!
Do you remember?
Of course you do! Medina took to Twitter, shortly after losing a close heat and wrote:
Hora de ir pra casa. Muito triste, eu dedico ou dediquei minha vida pra isso…to cansado, cansei!
Rory Parker picked it up from there:
What does that mean? I don’t speak Portuguese. Only English. And Spanish, sorta.
Yippee for Google’s translation magic!
Time to go home. Very sad, I dedicate or have dedicated my life to it … so tired, tired!
Is this the end for Gabby? Past tense reference to his competitive career!
Crazy, so crazy.
Sure, it’s probably nothing. Just letting off some steam. Upset he got handed the short end of the stick.
Simple and not very insightful but still good. And true. Just Gabriel Medina’s own words translated into English. But then, glory of all glories, miracles straight from the heavens, an email came shooting through subjected law against beach grit. The author, a probable Brazilian surf photographer with big time legal aspirations wrote:
Medina treat to law process who lie about his future!
His email linked to this story.
Throw it into Google Translate and it reads:
The world champion of surfing Gabriel Medina and his team , hereby clarify that there is a false statement being issued on his behalf by social and Whatsapp networks.
At no time , Gabriel or someone from his staff commented on any decisions related to their future in the World Tour .
Legal measures will be taken to ensure the integrity of the athlete and find the person responsible for false communication.
We ask , please , that ignore this absurd statement , which affects the athlete , his family, his team, his sponsors and surfing the institution.
At the moment, Gabriel Medina will not comment on the matter and is reunited with his family .
Have you ever read more delicious words? Have you?
I haven’t and am planning on getting them tattooed where Gabriel Medina has his family crest tattooed, right below where he shaves his armpit.
And this, officially, represents the high-water mark of your BeachGrit. Thank you for putting up with us. Thank you for laughing Gabriel Medina straight back into the totally shorn cave from whence he first came.
Obrigado to all!
P.S. If any of Medina’s other third parties feel like threatening hollow legal action maybe take a look around. Rip Curl doesn’t advertise here! Threaten Stab instead! They’re super sissies and cower under desks!

Stab ‘super sissies’? That’s a complement considering they are unlikely to have desks.
I finally got it. The WSL has implemented its own affirmative action policy. They got quotas for the elder and the mentally challenged. And since we’re near Camp Pendleton, they borrowed the “leave no men behind” from the Corps. KS, JJF: pls catch up in France so we can get the ball rolling again.
Ask Mariano… White Irishman vs Brazilian? “I only need a total of 13 seconds and a single punch to Aldo’s noggin to prove your theories otherwise.” Lololo.
Don’t get me started! That jawline alone…
Mind. Blown. Best thing I’ve ever read.
One-off. Numbers over the decades would still support it: don’t bet on the white guy. Unless it’s to make it out of police interaction unscathed or get financed for that nice house in the suburbs.
Guess who fuck auto correct *
Medina vs slater feud! Saw Kelly’s last post so I thought I’d look through the comments and guess you commented on it. Fucking medina he just said “hahaha” but that’s obviously condensing. Is that good enough for a blood feud ?
Blood Feud: Brazilian Fans vs Decency!
Where is the logic on getting mad at Kelly for not voicing an opinion on something that doesn’t involve him. Fuck people need to get a life
There on every post to its wild. It’s like the whole dam country is talking shit on Instagram. I thought the country was to poor to even have that many Instagram users
I’m just super unclear on how Kelly went from legend to ‘cheat’ in all this?
Idk lol who is more hated in Brazil today Richie porta or Ryan lochte that’s the real question
lochte is just a spoiled fool, no brazzo hating at all, beautiful stories happening in paralympics just now, why to give even a nanofuck for this gold medalist loser … maybe his sponsors are sporting some hatred, due his 8 months suspension that’ll pull him from next world championship…
Except for the fact that Instagram was invented by a brazilian guy.
300.000.000 cellphones, 1,5 for each countryman, just sayin’…
It was a joke
I know it’s not the point, it merely provided an opportunity to comment on the fact that he’s a legitimate physical specimen (a thoroughbred amongst Chas’s racehorses, if you will).
Never bet on the white guy. Unless he’s Russian/former USSR.
I went surfing. What did I miss?
can I point out the email is obvs referring to whomever wrote the statements on medinas instagram and not this site..
It’s all so true!
Know what else is true about Gabe? He’s gay!!!! Lololololol!
Can you believe?!
Me either.
But, I also read about a surf journalist raping another surfer and that was totes uncool to talk about. No blood feud there.
Sarge at large
cut scene from pickles beach short
time for the big fella to grow a set and ditch the clingons. Andy didn’t bring mummy and Daddy on tour.
And now he’s dead. Maybe he should have brought the family unit to every event and every after party to deliver him from temptation (excluding Bruce of course). But I take your point, and will discuss with Charlie the concept of him fucking off and practicing his smiling at home in his own time. I’d be doing myself out of a job, but the needs of the many outweigh the need of the few.
Jesus christ
He would have fucked Glen Hall up. I still think Gabby would have been a hell of a fighter…maybe one of the toughest athletes in performance surfing, even if he is a pretty boy.
Yeah beating up midgets is awesome. Sorry you didn’t get to witness that. Maybe next time…
If Glen Hall had as many apologists among the judges as he does here, he’d still be on tour.
Oh lord, this IS absolutely delicious!
Hey Chas, you might got one side of it or you are lying. Medina threatenned to sue another thing, a false statement saying he would come back only in 2017 and talking directly about retirement and shit. But, as you can’t miss the oporttunity, you receive a unofficial email from someone you cant even mention who and come up with this shit to please your readers……All right to make jokes, to be racist, to do whatever makes you happy. But try not to lie like this. The kid had been doing enough to destroy his image, you dont need to lie.
Larvell… I am a Brazil apologist…I love everything about! But Gab threatening through a third party deserves all the jokes in the world. Don’t you agree?
I do if it’s true. Why don’t you say the name of the third party? What i saw today was a tsunami of bullshit of some of mine stupid countrymen saying things Medina did not say. And because of this he needed to make an official statement telling that were all lies (by the way, the translation was correct and true).
I want to love Medina…I totally do…but this behavior seems par for the course for him….
Yes, he needs a brainwash and a better PR. But he is not a bad guy at all. There are and were much worst in the ct.
Anyway, can you publish the name of the one who threatened the site? Maybe he will get a lawsuit himself.
Are you his mother?
fuck off mustard
Casio Cabuagunga Monteiro do Nacimento Jr.
???
that’s his nickname
you think Charlie will let him hire PR consultants?
he should
he really should
Larvelle…take your “you bunch of racists!!!” bullshit and shove it up your ass. Oh…and have a nice day.
does not fit…..sorry
Rackin up more fans. This is why gabby is so disliked. Waste of talent
did he really lose any though? nobody outside Brasil has liked him since the Portugal walk-off, and he could rape 10 year old boys and not lose a single supporter among his countrymen
