A boy can dream...

Give: The gift that every surfer, murfer, Bight Fighter, SUP pilot and ecologically-minded wave tank proprietor craves!

Give the gift of BeachGrit!

What is your favorite holiday movie of all time? Do you go for the classics like White Christmas and Miracle on 34th Street, the modern classics like Home Alone and Elf or the super-modern, likely-to-be-classics like The Best Man Holiday?

Me?

Oh, I go for the darkly poetic The Silence of the Lambs, which came out January 30, 1991, counting as the very far reaches of “holiday.”

There is one scene in particular that really speaks to me. The famous one where Buffalo Bill is dancing to Goodbye Horses while getting all gussied up as his guest tries to befriend his dog.

Buffalo Bill Dance Goodbye Horses Silence of the Lambs.

When I watch, I picture the World Surf League’s President of Storytelling Erik “ELo” Logan as Buffalo Bill and you in the pit. Instead of him putting on the body parts of previous victims and make-up, though, I picture him putting on BeachGrit merchandise.

I picture him putting on our Ultra Hard Beach Candy t-shirt.

Buy here!

Or I picture him putting on our VAL and Proud t-shirt.

Buy here!

Heck, sometimes I even picture him putting on our “Girls” t-shirt, a print which Derek Rielly describes as, “Our boldest yet.”

Buy here!

In each and every case, though, I picture you in the bottom of the pit trying to coax Kelly Slater to come save you by throwing chia seeds and conspiracy theories.

A nice scene, no?

Go Black Friday at BeachGrit and give the gift of… imagination!

I tiled pools and painted houses on Oahu 89-91.
Back when the surf report was on the hour on the radio.
Crew would hush, and if it had come up it was tools down.

Heard on 3aw the other day that the CFMEU in Queensland is bargaining for lollipop girls on government projects to make 170k a year.

It puts the lotion on its skin, or it gets the Grit again.

While I may’ve suffered third degree sunburn on my chest after a days judging from the bold neckline cut of my Beachgrit Gals tee it was quickly forgotten after my VAL Girlfriend smelt the trademarked beachgrit car air fresher scent of heartbreak beach.
Intoxicating was the single word uttered from her trembling lips and the placement of my Beachgrit Deckgrip was quickly forgotten.

Thanks to my Masters at Beachgrit for the care package and bringing more passion to my life than a quarter final at a Brazilian club contest.

What “T” is going to fit the stocky wearer? I would like some model shots of different sizes wearing if possible to gauge my size
Is their a “Panda” model?

I don’t know Chas, Lambs was a pretty bizarre flick.—But—if I could get a T-shirt with –“Down with Dirk”–or– “Dirk don’t Surf”—or — “The Wsl Sucks”— I’d take all 3.

Ok frank–Frank? frank– I’ve actually toyed with that idea before and just might give it a go (old school style). I’m just a hacker, no real art skills, did one other shirt about 8 years ago. I’ll keep you posted.
