Ian Cairns offers to form "welcome party" of pro-Trumpers at HB!
Do you remember the wonderful riot that happened yesterday in Huntington Beach’s Bolsa Chica between pro-Trump and anti-Trump forces? Oh of course it wasn’t a real riot, just a mild disturbance where one person got peppered sprayed and another got punched in the face, but I feel that is the general tone of most Huntington Beach riots, aside from the classic in 1986.
Almost fun! Playful!
And I wondered out loud if we should throw a BeachGrit sponsored riot for this upcoming U.S. Open of Surfing? “Only gently disruptive of course.” I wrote. “Maybe we have someone go down on all fours behind an unsuspecting passerby and have someone else push the unsuspecting passerby over? Maybe we throw whipped cream pies? I’m open for suggestions.”
The great Ian Cairns, part of the Bustin’ Down the Door crew, part of the Bronzed Aussies, founding member of the Association of Surfing Professionals and 1976’s number 2 in the world maybe agreed and offered on my Facebook to gather a welcoming committee for us!
Proposing a riot at HB at the US Open contest is stupid and lower than your normal gutter writing (I deleted journalism). Maybe we could get a little welcome panel together especially for Beach Grit.
And then Mr. Cairns offered some names of people who were there at Bolsa Chica and love to party.
I asked if BeachGrit could bring some cake to the welcome panel party or maybe some Pepsi though have yet to hear back but will keep you advised as the planning develops.
And of course you too are invited! See you in Huntington!

If you have Ian Cairns’ Pro-Trump Surfers list, it needs to be published. The wonderful OC Weekly recently ran a story about an OC branch of the KKK membership list that a judge threatened to publish in the 20s, that basically put a screeching halt on their activities.
But what if Cairn’s Trump supporters threatened to publish a list of people they didn’t like? What would you think of that? I wouldn’t imagine your position would be the least bit hypocritical.
Politics aside, how does any real surfer, regardless of craft, support governmental policies which are obviously causing environmental concerns? Are coal miners really the jobs we are trying to create?
Bro, West Virginia absolutely pumps on Nor’easter swells.
There’s no way around it. There’s been an extraterrestrial biological infestation of zombie Trump love that has taken over members of our families and friends that shares a few common traits: They all seem to be illiterate and white. Some are even famous surfers! Chas is playing it right. He’s enabling them to out themselves for our entertainment. Thanks Chas!
What do you suggest we do with these cretins?!
We ca start with taking back the American flag from the KKK.
they be lynchin black folks again in the name of old glory now??
Eh…Kinda tired of seeing it as a fashion accessory for the Make America White Again crowd.

Maybe…the only way to solve this is… BY BLOOD!!!
Naked hands…
It’s time to rrrrrrrumble!!!
in this corner Chas SSSSSSSSSmiteeeeeee
on the othe corner IIIIannnnn “Kaaaaaanga” CCCCCCCCairns!!!
Let’s Roll!!!
or maybe can I propose…
BLOOD FEUD
Chas Smith x Ian Cairns
Who will win????
The only way to stop a riot is the act of surfing. This was proven during the Tuskegee Experiment of 1986 when Ian Cairns sent Glen Winton and Occy out in two-foot Huntington slop for a meaningless heat. Ian is the true hero. Like a Kamikaze pilot or a Southern general who killed his entire regiment after Appomattox.
Who is this Cairns you speak of? He must be fucking old to use Facebook
The irony in your Facebook thread is gold. If only I could be an anonymous troll over there too!
As do I, Chas absolutely can’t be taken seriously at this point. He is the perverbial little boy who has cried wolf too many times. Maybe the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dam? Either way, I like his banter.
Do I get to choose? Can I be the Dutch boy?
Sure can, I have a feeling that is applicable! Tell Michael to chew faster on that bubble gum.
You’ll need to find an accommodating dyke first.
The Protestant thing is a fit with the Dutch Boy, no?
Sounds good. Who’s bringing cornhole?
I don’t know him personally, just seen interviews and such. A quote from bustin down the door “I don’t have to be a sheep, like you” probably describes what I’m saying best. He was a charger no doubt, and did it with big ball style. Chas got called out by a true legend, now that’s dropping the dime.
Doesn’t he SUP now?
Make Kanga Great Again!
Only around coaching Brett Simpson in his WSL comeback campaign.
I love Ian! Never afraid to drop the dime on someone, or say what’s on his mind.
That Ian man…such a fucking genius. Love when he called out The Onion for that BULLSHIT RUSSIA STORY FAKE NEWS. He’s always just telling it like it is reminds me of BIG DADDY TRUMP!!
