Die VAL, die!
And there it is, officially. Your BeachGrit, your snarky, satirical, sometimes grouchy, usually grumpy, always anti-depressive BeachGrit is bigger than the World Surf League. Higher than the Wall of Positive Noise. Throwing all kinds of shade over Santa Monica as well as anything Santa Monica/Venice-adjacent.
The People™ want their ultra hard surf candy.
The People™ crave real, fun, rude, funny, honestly rude more than they love to be Transformed and/or non-elimination heats featuring Deivid Silva and Wade Carmichael.
I’m already drinking in celebration and I suggest you start.
Give us a few more months and we’ll host you somewhere fabulous.
Somewhere VALs get stuck behind the section.
And rum flows like water.
More as the story develops!
you should thank dicuss and the comments. the articles mostly suck.
That’s probably because November has no CT events, but whatever makes life less miserable for you…
wait. have u checked in with Elo for comment? world smaltz league.
A Future Ambassador for K(e11)Y JE11Y ……?
Surprisingly , with the rise of the Silicon VALs , who seem to be the WSL projected / preferred market , the WSL has somehow worked out that this group , made up entirely of supposedly hyper intelligent beings , is incapable of ….. no not surfing ( that’s obvious ) ….. READING ? Since the debut of the daily video series on their site , written articles seemed to have vanished with the exception of coverage of minor QS and Junior events .
It’s simple
People who like surf stuff watch JOB etc.
It’s great and dossent totally suck.
Yup. I got sick of sitting through the “juh, juh… juh, juh….. doongadoong doo doo” music followed by some clown telling me about what happened on Instagram yesterday. They need to write more cuz I want the content but don’t care for their faces.
His first order of business, moving Bex Vidinia from comments to Editor.
Hes too fair and balanced for my tastes.
He’s really not, he managed to get our current pig faced religious zealot PM into government.
That’s not a widely held belief thank sweet Jesus.
And quite frankly the words of a hardcore bigot.
Be gone with you fiesta Pete.
His or yours?
Have you considered using xcstacy?
It has crossed my mind
Too bad the analysis doesn’t include time spent reading comments vs reading articles.
What this is actually saying is you have a problem with traffic quality. Having more visits means nothing if they’re not sticking, and that bounce rate is way too high. I know your actual readers stay longer than a minute seven in most cases, so where’s the rest of that garbage traffic coming from? It’s probably hurting your search ranking.
This is obviously why ELO was so so sad sitting in the reform lineup.
“Beachgrit, we suck less.”
I want royalties for that or at the very least a vote on shirt design and a few shirts out of the deal.
VAL – victories and losses
I’m drunk. Ting ting and congrats. Happy Holidays.
I spend 3 mins on beach grit and 3 hours on disqus to dodge these ads https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
When we going?
Conundrum .Would you rather go on a Gay Cruise with dance music , drugs and alcohol or join Tom Cruise on a religious retreat ?
Theyre both gay so id go the one with the free pingas.
Bingo , we have a winner !
Gay Cruise
Just got back.
It sucked
And sucked.
…and sucked?
WSL may not comprehend how bad their Transformed & Surf Breaks is. Its a matter of WSL now having too much very low quality content (rather than a smaller amount of high quality content). I rarely read the WSL site anymore. As for Beach Grit, I am not sure why I post here (the narcissism of the editors is so contrary to my lifestyle). Its probably the other posters, such as the illustrious Nick Carroll, the former illustrious Maurice Cole, and the other awesome posters (such as Bickerton and Longtom). Or maybe I post on Beach Grit because they haven’t banned me (yet). Stab sucks. There is no where else to post.
Since they’ve gone all gushy, magazine style I have not watched one full thingamy. Fluff and bullshit.
I started to watch a Transnormed but the sight of creepy Shaun grimacing and pronouncing Traaansfoorrmed made me recoil in horror. Wtf were they thinking ? It’s a fucken joke … WSL is genuinely run by lunatics who haven’t got a clue. They should be embarrassed but no. They’re too fucken stoopid to know.
I logged in today for the Pipe forecast and watched Vision: Medina, Ho and Coffin Talk Pipeline. It was OK but so predictable. The last thing you want to hear is Turpel’s voice. Hasn’t Kelly got more to say than Bruce Irons & J.O.B. The video was too short, too predictable, too repetitive.
From the vans triple crown site.
Mind boggling detail … scroll to the bottom for the mechanics of pipeline.

Narcissism aside, we all have lots of fun together. So thank you!
So you found the recipe! Post a shit tom of shark stories. It’s an empty victory but a victory none the less. Have your cake Chazzy
Ain’t that as everyone would do! The People just prefer Grit to cheese!
We would take anything ahead of a non-elimination heat. Let alone a day of them.
Its a hollow victory with ELO magic storytelling Instagram
Account down.
If this means beachgrit sponsored advertising is getting more eyeballs than the wsl sponsored advertising Ziff is going to be pissed!
He could have purchased us for a four pack of Balter not three years ago.
A FOUR pack of balter? Jeezus…. the man is made of money…
Charts never lie
If we can get 400K for every 20K we invest,I’m in.
Did you read past the first line Chas?
You’re like the kid who can’t read, sees his report card that he got an A, when it’s a fAil.
But congrats anyway!
You’re just jealous!
I’m proud! I just dismayed at those figures. Google got them wrong surely. I bounce from the WSL website in under a minute, but I spend about an hour here per day
Yeah, my surf news and watching is Beach Grit, Nathan Florence, Koa Rothman, JOB, Definitely Mason Ho, and Eli Olson when I catch him. Some other stuff. But this weird shit (B.G.) comes first usually. Dear Lort- Baby Jeebus knows why… Stab, Inertia, and sadly Surfer are wayyy down the list. WSL only on good heats. Or scrappy QT if there’s a specific ripper I watch.
And now the choice must be made between using this power wisely or blowing shit up.
I’m with the latter. Let’s go full Discord, but in an anti-depressive way.
I’m down for blowing shit up.
