Limp Bizkit was certainly also available.
I feel that the World Surf League is really getting strung up for booking blink-182 as the featured musical act. That “Backward Fin” Beth is sitting in her Santa Monica office right now, pointing at her computer and shouting, “See! Surfers are grumpy bastards! They don’t like anything… anything at all I tells ya!”
And in this one particular instance she is correct because, let’s be honest, it could have been way way worse than blink-182. It could have been:
-Imagine Dragons
-Jason Mraz
-Jack Johnston
-Creed
-Dakota Motor Company
-the onetime cast of Glee (minus pedophiles and the departed)
-Dave Matthews Band
-Spin Doctors
-Nickleback
-Limp Bizkit
-Drake
Just kidding on that last one. The World Surf League could never afford Drake but shouldn’t we be thankful for once? I am and have just decided to attend Saturday.

Or……
The local Grateful Dead cover band.
Jamiroquai
tina turner was kind of a pinnacle for the NRL.
you are going…after all you are indeed going..well well instagram has definitely destroyed you
I did it all for the nookie!
No matter the band, we’ll all be amused by who of the WSL credentialed cool crowd will be allowed to stage dive and pogo around the certain to be orchastrated official WSL hardcore surf punk mosh pit.
Man, imagine dragons really is awful. Really needed that reminder – 🙏
I am still gagging after seeing the word Ni????back. many of those mention, while still extremely awful, don’t deserve to pigeonholed in the same list.
Jesus fucking christ this is a wretched prospect really isn’t it. Just ghastly. Blink fucking 182. And I have already bought the air ticket. I’m gonna stay in Visalia just to avoid everything.
You could disguise a pair of Industrial Strength Ear Muffs as high fashion head phones for the audio battle you are about to engage in ?
How bout staying in Newport NSW? That’ll solve your dilemma.
Too curious. I have a weird feeling about this event. It might be the thing that cures me of pro surfing forever.
just dress up as chas make a cunt of yourself.
Visalia has alright food, because it’s the, uh, higher end town out there. Fresno has a Whole Foods, which is useful if something other than tequila interests you.
This is the sort of useful tip I come back to Beachgrit for Jen!
I should write a handy guide, maybe!
But uh, the other for reals tip I have? Because I actually failed hard on this, myself! Shoes. Like, decent ones for walking forever and ever. I walked so far and ruined my favorite flip flops. This made me super sad.
Well, being in the Central Valley in August is like visiting the second ring of Hell in Dante’s Inferno. Heat plus shitty air plus bizarre surf event equals the new dystopia. Then you can go to the Tachi Palace casino and wonder why you haven’t bought a house yet in Fresno.
They should book Alien Weponary
What about Social Distortion?!

Good Charlotte! My daughter inflicted me this thing 20 years ago, it would definitely fit! And I just see on wikipedia that their last single is called “actual pain”! Perfectly in tune with Mr Slater’s pool.
Backward fin Beth just destroyed the dreams of all these musical artists. Ranch dreams crushed and destroyed. Time to drown your sorrows with some Michelob
Waiiitt is backward fin Beth really a codename for Jen See of “opinion: I hate your surfboard” fame?”
hi, no.
Ha!
Not convinced.
you’re just going to have to live over there with your lack of conviction! sorry!
Fine. Just know I hate your surfboard.
Jokes aside, the actual band of Limp Bizquite can play pretty tight though
Metinks ‘Limp Business’ would be more fitting for the current Ziffaroids.
Dammit was released before Griffin Colapinto was born….way to keep it fresh Woozle!
I’ll win now…
Hootie and The Blowfish
I’ll see your Hootie and the Blowfish, and raise you a James Blunt!
Maaan… his voice came right now… the only thing that tops this, is The Tarzan Song by Whitney Huston…
not so fast fellas, alien ant farm.
This is dirty game!!! Unfaire!
Never, never, go to the “Netherlands”!!! Never!!!
Crazy Town performing their hit track ‘Butterfly’
Blues Travelers.
Fuuuuck man this is a heavy counter attack!!!
Lol. I know you obviously know your music. Creed or Nickleback will win for lamest non-1-hit-wonders. At least those guys made money. But the one hit wonders are hard to top for lameness. Lol. That being said.. I may have to end this entire debate with one band… Hanson. Hmmmm Bop.
Hahahahaha Hands down!!!
I will say one last thing
MMMMbop!!!
ps: exists a acoustic version for this “hit” hahahahaah
or Blind Melon
Clearly Iggy Pops foray into surf was enough to scratch that itch for him.
Limp Bizkit, Blink 182, Linkin Park…
See the bond between?…
Man… even the their names are siblings…
Bleeaaargh three times!!!
That Limp 182, Blink Bizkit, Linkin Bizkit, Blink Park, Limp Park… whatever, kill, murdered the song “I Would For You” from Jane’s Addiction…
Counting Crows…
Shalalalalalalala
Bleeeeearghhhhh
… Uh hhuuuuuuuhhhhhh! CUT UHP MAH-REEEA
I believe they have been incarcerated for crimes against humanity ? As blood drips from my ears…….
Sublime!!!
Babylon Zoo!!!
A flock of seagulls!
Right Said Fred!!!
Chumbawumba!
Silverchair
That time Princess Leia sang a duet with a wookie on the 1978 Christmas Special!
Papa Roach
Mass suicide would ensue.
LOL the Spin Doctors. Haven’t heard that in a minute.
They should get that band Live. The Band Live, playing Live, on a Live webcast. BOOM!
Sleep would’ve been the right choice.
Not sure if you’re being sarcastic there Keith but I reckon Sleep at full volume would be an awesome choice, esp if they played Dopesmoker in full…would love to see Sophie’s face at about the 35min mark
Absolutely guru… and then in a tribute to the 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s ASP tour lineups and Chas’s new book Sleep could close with their legendary cover of Snowblind.
