What is your position on male pampering?
Stab’s Stab in the Dark feature is a very exciting event, don’t you think so? The concept is simple. Eleven shapers shape anonymously for one professional surfer who then rides the boards and chooses his favorite and that shaper wins… applause. And if the surfer accidentally chooses a different shaper than the one he normally rides then the surfer wins… shitty boards for the next year.
This year’s event was shot in Indonesia and the surfer was supposed to be a secret but highly paid sleuths guessed it was one Jordy Smith from South Africa. Current world number 1.
I, anyhow, read this morning’s piece and looked at the pictures and one thing stood out to me above all others.
Jordy Smith definitely gets manicures.

Look at those nail beds, look at the uniformity of trim, look at the glisten on the surface. Most certainly buffed by loving Vietnamese hands.
And what is your position on male manicures? The only I’ve ever had were from my four-year-old daughter so don’t really know if they are amazing or not but, I’ll admit, generally look down on men with shiny nails unless they are rappers or ladies’ shoes salesmen.
Am I wrong to look down? Should I begin to get?
All a man needs is a fucking good haircut.
You don’t fool me for one minute Chas, saying that you have never had a manicure before. What, you are going to go out in all your fancy designer clothes and with your hair all done up at some trendy salon, smelling of cologne, sipping Veuve, and be fine with your nails looking like an average white guys nails? No way! You can’t fool me.
when I was young I was told that you can tell a lot about a person by looking at their hands.
I would like to see what Chas’ hands look like!
Not sure about the nails. But I am POSITIVE that he lathers with LaMer.

Nothing against Jordy, but Stab kinda blew it by using Dane for the second installment. How are you gonna top that?
And manicures? FOR.
Mentawais, duh!
Ashgoggs! Love you, boo. But Danes knowledge of surfboard mechanics- revelatory!
Agreed! Hence: Mentawais! Only way to hold a flame!
