Could it be? Might it be? A little bird says maybe yes!
I’m telling you right here, right now, hand over heart that I’ve never once posted a completely unfounded rumor on BeachGrit. Never. I enjoy satire, The Onion, etc. but once you travel down pure satire road then it is difficult/impossible to ever come back and you need us to be true-ish. Right? You want fact-ish. Yeah?
I think Derek and I both believe this and believe this very much and strive, each and every day, to deliver nothing but the flimsiest truth.
Each and every rumor that travels into my telephone, email box, ear is from either a legitimate source or legitimately backed up.
And this one is from a legitimate source though not at all legitimately backed up.
I’ve rumored a few times now that the crown jewel of surf media, Surfer magazine, was on the block but today and unsolicited I heard who the buyer allegedly was.
Ready?
Purportedly Adam Sandler!
Hollywood’s five year’s ago favorite leading funny man!
Known surfer!
Co-star of Surfer magazine’s current Editor-in-Chief Todd Marinovich’s literary inspiration 50 First Dates!
Can you believe it?
Me?
Sort of.
If you loved to surf, were rich and weren’t known for “taste” and suddenly the crown jewel of surf media came on the market for a low low introductory price why wouldn’t you scoop it up? I would. I would scoop it up if only to print large sized photographs from Surfer’s vault for my Malibu walls. And gift large sized photographs from Surfer’s vault for my friend’s Malibu walls. That alone would justify the ummmm cost.
But again… the more important question is, if this is all true, what would Adam Sandler do with his number one fan Editor-in-Chief Todd Marinovich?
Obviously not fire but what?
Elevate to publisher? To Hugh Hefner status? Make him reprise Rob Schneider’s roll in 50 First Dates for the rest of his tenure? Make him go play quarterback for the new Los Vegas Raiders?
So many questions!
Again, this rumor is so flimsy but there is one whiff of smoke.
And that’s all I’ve ever asked for.

What’s the dole????? Do share!
Seriously. What do y’all think the odds are that he actually catches the wave in that photo?
Is there a sliver of a chance than somehow he pops up and closes his legs together far enough on the back of the board that he gets the nose out of the water, rips a gnarles high line and nose rides it to the beach?
Oh woman i wish i had the money to buy surfer … the things i could do with it!
Mate I reckon you have Ibogained at least a few stories, and I respect that.
Keep ’em Coming.
One whiff of smoke is all I need as well. Thumbs up emoji.
Role*
I have a truth pill that neither of you two are willing to swallow. Longtom i need a mentor..
What’s with the booties in that Sandler pic? Def about to nosedive too
“about to nosedive”? Why? Cause he’s Jewish and Jews have big noses? You just can’t get over that whole ‘the Jews crucified Steezus’ thing now can you Steezus Christ?!?
If he were blond haired and blue eyed my prediction would still be kooky nosedive
What will happen to Surfer and Toddy is what’s happening in that Sandler pic above…nosedive!
nudie magazine day.

Will Sandler be one of the better surfers on the payroll?
HAHAHA
“the shampoo makes the hair clean, the magazine make billy Madison go bankrupt.”
On the dole, or meth?
Both
Damn it, my money was on former professional wrestler/former Minnesota governor/Laird admiring soul surfer, Jesse “The Body” Ventura, to be the buyer…
… btw, nice booties pic.
Chas, I would have thought you’d go with the headline:
Super Rumor: A Jew Buys Surfer?
***Just to piss off Mick***
You cornered the market on truth in surfing with the ‘Zach Weisberg sucks’ story.
5 years ago funny guy? You’re either not good at math or you’re friends with Sandler.
Wedding Singer is still my favourite movie.
Obviously you’ve never seen him act with the one and only Christopher Walken, from such acclaimed films as “street kings”, anyways that little movie was called ‘CLICK’
Click was the one with the remote right? I saw that. It was mediocre at best.
lets not forget duece bigalow
Grown Ups starring Adam Sandler is one of the worst movies I’ve seen. Truly cringeworthy
Happy Gilmore funny as heck
Think it started when he started producing his own flicks
Happy Gilmore is funny. But Big Daddy is where it’s at am I right???????? “But I wipe my own ass!!! I wipe my own ass!!!!!”
Surfing! Plaything of the rich.
If true we should all, me n you n Derek n Shearer n Doherty n Warshaw n all of us go and work for Surfer right away.
We could save the world!
Monuments would be built to… us!
The rich! Playthings of surfing.
