And what is the most expensive thing surfing has taken from you?
Not just any “man” but hot rapper Slim Jxmmi and not just any $100,000 but a customized, diamond encrusted $100,000 chain and not just any surfing but crowd surfing.
Let’s read about it on a rap website!
Slim Jxmmi of Rae Sremmurd might go down in the Guinness Book of World Records for taking the most expensive crowd surf ever. Yesterday (July 3), the recent Billboard award winners were performing in Paris, when Slim decided to turn up and catch a wave in the crowd. Unfortunately, his newly purchased, diamond-flooded Slim Jxmmi chain was lost during the process.
In footage that has surfaced from the event, you can see the group pleading with fans to return the jewelry. “Who got the chain? We bringing you on tour right now, bring the chain up here,” Swae Lee tries to bargain with whoever pocketed the piece.
“Damn, I shouldn’t have jumped in there like that,” Slim admits.
After no one fesses up. Swae ups the ante by offering 5,000 euros to whoever brings the bling to the stage. Then, he quickly adds to the pot, offering 50,000 euros, to no avail. Slim reportedly filed a police compliant about the lost chain.
Surprisingly, Slim doesn’t seem to upset by the missing link. “Yes I hit a 100k crowd surf,” he posted on Twitter earlier today (July 4). When questioned by a fan about how he really felt about the whole situation, he responded, “indifferent.”
Oh I know this story is only connected to our kind of surfing by the thinnest strand but it did make me wonder… what is the most you’ve ever lost surfing? Like, we’ve all lost a surfboard, right? And that is expensive but not that expensive.
Have any of you lost a very expensive watch? Car keys? The love of a beautiful woman?

Bodyboard so I started surfing
Lost a bit of skin over the years, but chicks dig scars so not all bad. Also lost a nice watch with a fool proof double prevention system that I showed who was the bigger fool.
Dignity. Plenty of times.
I lost my bike lock key when I was 14. I wasn’t rich so I had a 5 mile walk back home.
Why didn’t you Uber?
What’s Uber?
Lyft is cheaper
That rash that kept coming back.
Sounds like a lose, lose.
The love of a beautiful, but EXPENSIVE woman. I felt rich after losing her. So did my pockets.
She never loved you…
I never loved her more than the day she left. The moment was quite lovely.
Just my dignity.
Hey! You you stole my dignity line four hours before I thought of it! The fucking cheek…
I have actually lost a few brown trout in the tropics also.
losing a mudfish will really twist your gut.
