Stab and The Inertia's glorious turf war!
This is beyond a Blood Feud. This goes to the very heart of surf media itself. The very soul of everything that truly matters. And you well know that Bondi’s own Stab moved somewhere around Venice a year (or such) ago. You also well know that The Inertia makes its home just east of Venice’s official border.
I have well known this for a while too but I suppose it hasn’t really sunk in. Surfstitch property Stab is still Australian to me and The Inertia is still gender neutral.
But in real life there they both are, rubbing shoulders with Facebook and Nest very near Venice!
Do you think Stab people and The Inertia people run in to each other in Venice’s various artisan ice cream parlors? What do you think happens? Glares over goat cheese marionberry habanero ice cream cones? “This-once-trendy-suburb-ain’t-big-enough-for-the-both-of-us…” frowns whilst ordering a second scoop of avocado and strawberry sherbert?
I wish I was there.
Because Venice and Venice-adjacent is the fiery middle of surf journalism. The true center of hurt feelings, disappeared stories, quivering knees and thin passive-aggressive smiles.
This footage just came in, anyhow, of Stab and The Inertia mixing it up. Trading “blows” as it were.
Lucky bastards.
as a kid who grew up with mexicans in the san gabriel valley, i found west side story totally confusing. half the sharks look white. hardly anyone looks puerto rican, especially natalie wood. i know whitewashing happens a lot in hollywood but when the whole plot is about this conflict? bizarre
This fake news has been done to death. Is it written by algorithm? Is BG dying? Is surfing actually an algorithm? IS THIS THE MATRIX!!!!!!!!!
Seriously mate. Just go and egg Morgan’s Jeep or throw a star picket through his windscreen. Grow the fuck up and do something about it. You won’t go to jail for more than a night for that shit. I just found out Brad Gerlach lives in Torquay. Lock your doors, cunt!
I love that the heart of the surf media beats within the unholy trinity of BG, Stab and The Inertia. Gulp.
I’ve never really been to Inertia but from what I can tell they write about carbon fibre surfboards made by Mercedes-Benz, how to get a six pack in 5 days with banana smoothies and how to treat boogie boarders with respect. STAB just wanks off all its mates in the name of journalism. BeachGrit is a soap box for cranky cunts like Nick Carroll to attempt condescension. That’s one shit trinity. Bring back the erotic tales of adventure by Negatron in New Zealand.
erotic tales in Inzid…..what? sheep fcuking after a few steinlagers?
Thats a bit much for a cultured audience Wiggs.
They fucken love a bit of beastiality don’t they!
Mate, us cultured lot know a Tui gets you in a much better state for some sheep shagging
Q. How to spot an Australian family?
A. The parents let their 15 year old daughter smoke at the dinner table…..in front of her kids.
The best is “the Greeks invented sex but the French invited women”. Replace any nationality as you please.
It takes an IQ of 60 to tie your shoelaces…explains why so many Aussies wear thongs
I’m dead against thongs. Always gone no shoes or shoes. Why do things half-arsed.
But that’s exactly what I’m saying…. I don’t live Venice-adjacent and I don’t have a very good arm…
This BeachGrit/Stab/Inertia thing has all the thingyness of the Trump/Russian thing without the cock hardening threat of nuclear war. Someone is bound to get slapped in the line up and call a lawyer though.
the video is how I envision cross-fit to look like.
Is this not cross fit?
