It's a war on Christmas!
This is, undoubtedly, the most wonderful time of the year without concern or regard to your personal “tradition.” Songs about family, togetherness, surprise and joy float upon the airwaves. Food of questionable deliciousness is cooked with love/passive-aggression/stressiness. Pipeline pumps. It might be/could be/should be thought that nothing but nothing can dampen the overwhelming warmth. The feeling of the season.
Nothing save the pre-VAL extra-volume enthusiast blog The Inertia.
We haven’t discussed Venice-adjacent’s other least popular website in sometime due its complete unpopularity and… well complete unpopularity. Even the rare non-Chinese/Indian bot doesn’t attend anymore meaning I don’t see either.
Except today.
For today I was forwarded this.
Happy Holidays, friends!
We know your time is valuable, especially during the holidays. As such, we’ve taken the liberty of curating gift ideas that are a surefire win for the surf and outdoors-lover in your life.
So let’s chat about a gift that’ll actually be put to good use, The FluidStance Balance Board for Standing Desks.
Son of a bitch.
And I cannot begin to think that anyone buying you, the “surfer” in their life would stumble upon The Inertia‘s gift guide but… imagine they did.
Imagine they thought, “My son/friend/daughter/co-worker _________ surfs. They would love the FluidStance Balance Board for Standing Desks.”
Imagine opening it.
I hate The Inertia for even remotely putting you in this position and challenge its founder Zach Weisberg to a duel.
Many years ago, when BeachGrit was but a fledgling newborn, I chatted with Zach at some industry thing. I had made fun of his dumb website lots, by that point, and asked, “Why don’t you ever punch back? We could have such fun!”
His response?
“Why would we? You’re too small.”
Well, little ol’ BeachGrit is now almost four The Inertias big.
Zach?
Duel?
To the death?

Zach where can I get a how to fit in on the north shore brochure!?!
Just read Chas’s book, and do the opposite of what he does.
I love the inertia
It’s good to see some Inertia hate after such a long abscence and overwhelming abundance of shark hate!
One of you on an indo board, the other on the fluidstance wobbler.
I’ll support the Chas x Zach The FluidStance Balance Board for Standing Desks challenge
But there are two rules:
both arms down and throwing shakapockets

Do they have a wetsuit I can wear to the office, so e’body knows I sarf?(theoretically)
I just go in stinking like a dehydration piss. Word spreads fast.
Just wear your 3:2 under your work clothes so you can strip down like Superman and shout about pumping waves while streaking through office…….. Legend.
Four times one hundred
Is still four times one hundred
That’s, like, four hundred!!!
Zach definitely is the Rousseau’s man…

Hey! It’s Christmas time!
Take these inspiring words and… feed your soul and make the ocean a better part of the…

Send your letter to L’inertia asking Santa for a day… https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
But what true moves surf’s core is his dramas and the people, and the people who represents the people…
Tks L’inertia and 11 wold champ sockless sustainable bald guy…
And that’s why he’s the perfect human being to conect, built the bridge, between the pro surfer and all VALS

Human resources nightmare. Some asshole will insist they have the right to Fluidstance all day at work. Constantly moving around on the goddam thing while the poor miserable fuck in the next cubicle just wants to make it through the day and sleep or read BeachGrit the whole time.
Me think…
This couple is hot and beautiful!
The guy in the right is a lucky man… and the woman in the left it’s so slimmy and… so musculus… and… Whoah???!!!! Puft (I spit my coffee)!!!
Whoah!!!
God damned you to the hell of Santa, L’inertia!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Gay cruise anyone?
Hahahaha
Does anybody remember the Tracks story back in the day where the featured surfer talked about the “latent homosexuality” inherent in surfing? The reaction of surfers was to organise posses of male surfers to hunt the accuser down, which only further proved his, entirely valid, point that surfing was mostly about hanging around with men/boys.
And nuding up with your boot open.
Speaking of presents … there’s some must see video coming up real soon !
It’ll be when Soph and Natasha present their boxed Olympic flag presents to the lucky men going to the Olys.
I can’t wait !
This will be fantastic ! The supreme definition of a “shit eating grin” is about to be shown in real-life.
Who will grin the biggerest ?
Oh man. That sounds like an amazing running joke comp for the live-on-air grit commentary of pipeline
Luckily Ashton hadnt acquired a FluidStance Balance Board For Reclaimed Timber Coffee Tables or you coulda got ya are kicked mate
Glove slap!
No need for a duel– just let Zach and the Inertia boys keep digging their own hole…. .. to fall in…..
Can I still hang on to my Indo Board?
Sorry no.
Well, that’s some cruel bullshit. My son and I have fierce head to head Indo competitions on our two decks. We’ve had blood shed, coffee table broken, the wife and mother totally enraged. What are we gonna do now?
Put some trucks and weels on those bad boys and have at it.
Zach, dylan, haro, and the othe guy–I think these guys have about as much soul as a worn out tennis shoe–same for Dirk and the Wsl.
Now you can pay for your own booze.
