Drop everything.
There are many wonderful parts of the surfing experience but none the world’s paparazzi loves more than the famous actor or actress de-wetsuiting in public. Yesterday it was Australian Liam Hemsworth who stars in the Hunger Games franchise and is married to Miley Cyrus and let’s not waste anymore time here. Let’s turn straight to celebrity gossip website Just Jared for up to the second information.
Liam Hemsworth puts his hot body on display while stripping out of his wetsuit following a surf session on Thursday (June 6) in Malibu, Calif.
The 29-year-old actor parked his car on the Pacific Coast Highway while riding the waves and he stripped out of his wetsuit on the road.
Mmmmmmmm. Very nice. Good form etc.
And how do you take your wetsuit off in public? Do you stand in a large Tupperware box that ensures your wetsuit stays dirt and gravel free? Do you sometimes hurt your neck wedging the batwing feature over your head? Does a hand or foot every get stuck? Do you strip halfway then drive home and get in the shower or strip all the way and get dressed into your work clothes?
Towel or poncho?
I believe I’ve shared this story before but when I first met Derek Rielly in Australia, very many years ago, he and then partner at Stab Sam McIntosh picked me up at the airport and took me surfing. It was a fine early fall day and we wore 3/2s in order to cut the slight chill. Afterward Derek stripped out of his wetsuit using no towel and stood naked in the car park (what Australians call parking lots). I thought, “That’s how they must do it here.” Over the ensuing week I realized Derek was the only one who did it that way but it did make great sense.
Why should we be ashamed of our pieces?
If you were a famous actor or actress would you give the paparazzi a worthy show or cower like an ultra-orthodox rabbi?

Always wear grape smugglers underneath,
And use squirt soapy water down the 4/3 so you don’t have wrestle the fucking thing off with frozen fingers
Chest zip wetsuit feelin’, every time … https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Does Liam pee in his wetsuit like I do? I gots to know
everyone does..
Nude if no chicks or little ones, towel in the depths of winter when most likely suffering from the ‘Eiffel Tower’ effect.
A local legend who won an Australian junior title did that getting changed at Cathedral. Got busted for indecent exposure. Pretty harsh, especially because that beach is the local nude beach.
I once had a photographer come up to me as I was getting changed and ask if he could take some photos. Said yeah whatever man, and 6 months later I found out that my photo was in The Watchtower! Note: I am not a Hemsworth 😀
Well, I guess you must have the wholesome, down-home good looks that get jo-hos excited….
I don’t have a wetsuit.
Try hydrating l’ocean to combat that drysuit feeling.
No drysuit neither.
2mm top + boardies.
Buncha fucking pussies wearing all that rubber.
(Read: I haven’t managed to purchase one yet, but if I did it would be NeedEssentials)
good link, I always wondered when someone would jump into that logoless biz. Thanx or that!
I live in cal and freeze even in summer…4/3 all year!! I’m skinny tho. I wore hoods for 40 years when no one did, no head heat loss, no ear problems either.
CB I thought from reading here that you surf in the far north? Scotland?
wait… northern or southern cal? because it either makes you someone who gets cold or a full fucking psychopath
haha….I freeze. Im skinny and tall. Ok maybe on the hottest day of summer in Santa Barbara I have trunked it…otherwise? Wetsuit all year long. The other good thing about a 4/3, especially at the points, is that it protects you a bit so you can bounce off people and boards going down the line. I learned the correct way at rincon. If you dont fall off and go fast and scare people, they wont drop in!! And when those boards hit your skins, it doesnt really do much. I’m kinda retired from that now tho.
ok any bit south of point dume and i’d call 9/11 because theres a serial killer on the loose. But don’t worry kind people of santa barbra the man is not a serial killer he just gets cold
I remember an early 80’s Easter surf at rincon, freezing spring winds, upwelling, pumping winding emerald green barrels. I wore 2 hoods and a vest underneith my regular suit. (They kinda sucked back then.) Everyone else was too cold to surf, except me. I could take any wave I wanted, and then go get another one. Warm as toast. Just kinda stiff haha! Never liked those gloves tho, TC wore em for awhile. Makes paddling weird, but man you can hang onto your board. And fingers stay warm!! As compared to not being able to turn your car keys on after a session cause your fingers are froze. I’m kind of a fair weather surfer nowadays…time creeps up on ya and all that.
Chas, your grip on the vernacular has slipped my friend. We don’t call a car park a parking lot.
Jordy’s nipples have never been closer than they are in that photo. I like to believe they’re slowly migrating closer and closer to one another until they finally meet and morph into one super-nipple in the middle of his chest.
Nip-clops, or Cy-ple?
Or…or…are you the kind of person who makes a career out of following people around, hiding behind bushes and taking photos of them in the half-suit position?
What a fucking grim life that must be
mate of mine became a paparazzi in England, pretty good life he reckoned. He got run over by one of those big titted English babes and got a pay out.
pics or it didn’t happen !
There’s a job available at Coolum. The local sketchy car park has been off limits due to infrastructure renovations, so the guys that were hanging out in the bushes have had to find alternative bushes.
I wear dick togs under my wettie. G-banger in pride week.
I don’t take my wetsuit off until I get home. sometimes the bus is late so I miss the connecting train and get to spend 20 minutes cruising around the subway platforms checking out the girls checking me out.
Had a chick drive by and scream “show me your penis!” as I was towel changing last year. Shitty thing was she had a raspy smokers voice like Patty and Selma from the Simpsons. I would have shown her if she hadn’t taken off…her loss.
Poncho or naked, thats the way in Spain
I was in France last year, no ponchos or towels.
Yeahhh lasts time we checked Spain and france were different countries 😉
Yeah I was in Basque country right by Spain. All those uncircumcised euro dicks all look the same to me.
Ook ..I mostly surf ,not really into watching dicks,but hey it’s a free world.
You’re missing out!
😂😂😂😂epic answer ,you win
Change naked without towel if no one is watching – if there are people then just change with a towel on top of whatever filth I’m standing.
pride month feature again? you guys have lived in LA too long
I only bring The People what they crave.
Rinse off with gallon jug of hot water. Towel. Stand on a square of astroturf to avoid sand and dirt. Deodorant. Get dressed. Go to work.
In my younger days, I’ve been hooted at by passing young ladies (likely vacationers to Carlsbad). #metoo
