Opinion: “When did man-hating in big-wave surfing become a thing?”

Men are simple animals. Be kind to them.

Well enough, we’ve heard enough jabber from the menfolk to last three lifetimes. Batten down the batches, biatches, and brace yourselves for the only woman with the gall, experience and poetic license to fuck up every archetype you’ve ever engendered or that was forced upon you.

a) Women are different from men. We can produce progeny and you men cannot. Basic fact. That sorta puts us in a powerplay position for the duration of humanity so we shouldn’t need to play upon that fact, make you feel badly or left out. We most certainly should never abuse that power to manipulative ends if we are respectful human beings.

b) Because we have these special and ultimate abilities contained within our pelvises and minds we should have no need whatsoever to compare ourselves to you men. We do not need to be as fast or as strong or as anything as you because you lot are incapable of multi-tasking and that says it all.

c) Women’s surfing has been a non-event since forever. I could provide 400 examples of women surfing in recent history and no incidence of male-female conflict. Margo Oberg, Lynn Boyer, Brenda Scott-Rogers, Kim Mearig, Pam Burridge, Wendy Botha, Freida Zamba, Layne Beachley, Sarah Gerhardt, Keala K, Maya Gabeira, Paige Alms etc. Most of them had/have a reference as to their capacities who may have been a lesser surfer than them who was male. Did anyone see any one of these women man-hating? Yelling, screaming? Dare I use the word hysteria? Nope.

d) When did man-hating in BW surfing become a thing? And did that hate-thing simply impose itself upon the physical fact that women hold the monopoly upon the continuation of the human race and simply forgot this momentarily? Sincerely, I’m at a loss.

e) The next time I ask one of those bros who charge massive crimeney around the planet if I’m in or I’m out, I’ll listen like I always have. I have nothing to prove. I am their liability because they care. They will sacrifice themselves for me if I’m in danger and I distract them from the job at hand when I fuck up, so best I don’t or be absent.

f) Beers will be on ice when they get in. Men have simple needs.

Ben, gonna make this short and sweet. Before you erased all your comments like the fucking pussy that you are, I screenshot them. A good part of them qualify as defamation considering my name is linked to my account. I have already sent them on to a lawyer in Santa Cruz who confirmed this fact for me. When you stupidly admitted to me that you don’t use a VPN, I hired someone in India for a few bucks to trace your IP to your name as proof. Unlike you, I’ve got money to pay lawyers and if you can’t come up with a fucking apology pretty damn quickly, you are looking at a solid defamation suit. No fucking joke. You have been warned, psycho-stalker named Ben Marcus. Keep it up.

Like finding a warm bridge to sleep under? Are you so delirious that you’ll claim to have made $100-$250 for copies of a book you wrote the subtitles for? You’re cordially pathetic, Ben Marcus. Quit proving it to everyone time after time. We all feel sorry for you. Quit making it worse for yourself.

Wow! So you snuck in and wrote shit for free, as we all know what online pays. Hah! I won’t even put my name on the stuff written for surfer.com. Photog pays me to look more eloquent than he is. Frankly, I cross-checked sources and as far as anyone knows, you’re an evil troll living under a bridge. End of fucking story.

Here is Ben Marcus’ website. He’s the only Mav’s dude who never actually surfed Mav’s, but he rules, according to himself. Asshole talks about himself in 3rd person, which is 99% of the time a sure sign of madness. http://www.benmarcusrules.c… https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

PSA — It has been a long time since anyone gave a flying fuck what Ben Marcus thinks, and I’m certain >no one bothers reading Ben Marcus’ blather. I have not seen Ben Marcus since I was 15 or 16 years old. I have never once surfed with him and I doubt he actually even surfs. He is extremely simple to bait into his deliriums and I get a good laugh in doing so. He writes things that could get him thrown into prison for defamation and then erases them, as if there is no digital trace of his words, so naive as he is. He sends stalker photos like the one below, and calls everyone else nutso. If you see this man, punch him in the jaw and move along, because no one cares more than that, Mr. Ben Marcus. 😆 https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

Poor, sorry soul you are, Ben Marcus. I can only feel sorry for you.

PSA: If anyone even bothers reading this, since it’s been a really long time since anyone cared what Ben Marcus thinks: I have not seen Ben Marcus since I was 15 or 16 years old. Never recall surfing with him once. Do not know him. That he dedicates so much time and thought to me is both very strange and in a certain way, flattering. He is extremely easy to egg on and fails for the bait every damn time, making only one person above seem off-kilter.

Ya just couldn’t make babies. Twice a fail. Scene closes and main character loses his sanity. From there on, he takes pleasure in calling everyone else with coherent genetics mad. Whatever. No one gives a fuck. Go away, Ben Marcus

Didn’t want to make babies.

Who is raising your son right now?

Probably not you.

You’re an international incident waiting to happen.

A guaranteed drama mama.

Hope the kid is okay, despite your genetics.

So, in fact, you’re both impotent and infertile, as well as bitter, Ben. Sweep this blowhard clown stage left ASAP. Goodbye, Ben Marcus. Next time I cross your path, I’m going to slam your geriatric noggin in for being a rude imbecile. All the best until then.

Best of all is this, fuckwit: “Scared of crazed, post-menopausal psychos?” says the man who posts scary photos of himself and tries to pass them off as a homeless woman (but for fact, living dependently upon your geriatric mother and being a homeless woman at age 70 starts to look quite the bit the same.)

No I just think the world is over-crowded by a factor of eight and it’s irresponsible to bring children into a world that is so unstable.

And if there was any chance there would be a dysfunctional family I wasn’t going to do it.

Look at what bad families do to people.

Look at what it did to you.

Where is your baby daddy? Did you kill him and eat him?

I actually knocked up that Canadian girl I brought to the North Shore in 2005, but she did the right thing.

So neither impotent nor infertile.

You and I aren’t going to cross paths – ever.

I avoid surf people and I avoid unpleasant, mentally-ill phonies and I avoid places where people like you might end up.

You do Upwork for $20 an hour and work with potheads.

Hoop de do.

You’re stuck in Nias accomplishing f*** all and pretending to be Australian while everything that’s important in the world goes sailing way over your head.

You’re wasting your life.

So now you’re running scared! So that’s why you never married, are childless, live dependently upon your geriatric mother and think you have something to teach the rest of us? Seriously, Ben Marcus, fuck the fuck off once and for all. The rest of us have lives. I’m only entertaining your sorry person this one time. Negs, block this shit so we can have fun among humans who don’t need an addling.

Beethoven was a bachelor. And T.E. Lawrence. Voltaire, Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Al Pacino: Some guys like women, but prefer solitude.

That’s a good group.

I ask women to photograph my books, I do good deeds for women all the time.

Peace and quiet and freedom are better.

It is you, Bag Lady. Can you please just piss off into another dimension? Can’t your 85-yr old mother forward your mail to you, you brand new kind of whack? Signing off. If I cross you anywhere, I will slap you senseless for being a fuck. 95060. Bye.

No, that’s you in a couple of years – if not already.

It would be nice if you could forward my mail when you’re in Santa Cruz, but I seriously doubt you have the money to get out of Indonesia – or the ability to get back in the country.

And why anyone would want to go to Santa Cruz now is beyond me.

Actually the place is loaded with homeless drug addicts and the mentally ill, so you might fit right in.

And see other mail about us crossing paths.

Different circles. I try to associate with sane, accomplished people, not no-talent surf industry drips.

And this is my mailing address.

The checks get there, so the zip must be right.

Negs, can we get rid of this fuck one more time? He keeps slinking back in because he thinks someone gives a fuck…just get rid of the roaches.

The next time I see you, Ben Marcus, I plan to knock you upside the noggin really hard. If it’s not me who knocks your noggin, it’s someone who agrees your noggin needs to be knocked. You sent me a sicko ID photo to work from. You only have yourself to blame. Cordially fuck off, freaky stalker who thinks he knows his post code. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

You and Negatron should hook up.

You might find meaning in your meaningless.

And now you can pretend to be a Kiwi, as you’ve pretended to be from Santa Cruz, and Australian, and whatever else you’ve pretended to be.

Mr. Ben Marcus, has-been kook who never really surfed any good anyway and still lives with his mother at age 70, decades spent propensed to spewing utter shit and following pro surfers around to the point where we wonder if you and Sarge aren’t the same person in two places, please quit calling me what you would love to shout out to the world once and for all… https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

Mother died a few weeks ago.

It’s okay, she smoked for 60 years.

“Propensed to spewing?” Is that English?

I guess so: Definition of propense. archaic. : leaning or inclining toward : disposed.

You’re the world’s best surf writer. Bar none.

You’re the queen.

There is no one better.

Not Chas. Not anyone.

You’re the absolute best at doing something that is almost completely worthless.

A life well lived, congratulations.
