Mea culpa yields dividends for clever readers…
It’s been three weeks since we released our bombshell mea culpa, that Backward Fins Beth had it right all along, that it don’t matter which way you stick the fins in.
We celebrated our mistake by creating a small clothing range, a capsule for want of a better word which you can shop here, and a movie with the Paul Naude-owned company Vissla.
Now, in the movie, you’ll notice when the guy in the fin factory is on the phone to Chas, his retort to Chas calling him a “short, depressed fin merchant” is beeped out.
Why?
Long story.
I think Vissla worried about possible offence caused to the star mentioned, a friend of Chas as it happens, whereas I was worried it wasn’t offensive enough and therefore was pleased when the line was removed.
Today’s contest.
Correctly lip read what he says, put your answer in the comment pane, and you’ll win four BeachGrit t-shirts, each a different print or colour, a couple of air fresheners (a formulation that is both sweet and sickly) and four tail-pads in a striking design that calls to mind the super graphics of Barbara “Bobbie” Stauffacher Solomon.
Want a hint?
Bill Murray movie, released 1979.

Hello?
C’mon DR, what was the quote?
I haven’t slept for three days.
(though that’s prob more to do with Wiggs special breakfast cereal)
this must be the proudest moment in Beachgrit history?
I prefer what chas was trying to say “Fuck man do you know how expensive that billboard was!”
in this scenario, Chas is Spike, other guy is Eastie:
(if I win, I’d like size large t shirts, no scoop necks, I’m not a teenager!)

Winner Winner – under cooked cake from Chas for dinner
“You must be the short depressed kid we ordered”
You’re pacing like an expectant father with the clap.
Edit: sorry someone already guessed this oops
You people are sitting new world records for being pointless, bored and stupid.
You mad someone is challenging your record?
My record?
What the hell d’yer wanna bring that up for………..
How the hell did I know she was 13??
She looked 15 to me anyway !!!!!
You a kiwi?
Oh man, you really deserved that slap from plate lunch.
I can’t believe my entry of ‘The Reacharound’ didn’t fucking win the naming comp. That’s so fucked. What more do you want.
Go finger Rudy Gerner ya creep
Your a sex machine?
“I have very active glands”
So do I, but no.
It’s a blessing and a curse, I know
You’re pacing like an expectant father with the clap.
Because he’s worried baby will be disabled?
Dunno, it wasn’t that funny of a movie!
Expectant fathers will naturally pace and maybe people with the clap also pace to relieve the pain…so an expectant father with the clap would really pace.
Or maybe if the baby is born with the clap, then the wife will know the father has been out banging sloppy hookers.
“Is that a bra you’re wearing, or are you expecting an assassination attempt?”
Right movie, wrong quote.
Didn’t lip read.
Just pulled a quote form the memory banks.
Wonderful memory. Do you do parties?

Brilliant inspirational copy! You made me really want this Hurluley stuff. Whatever it is. If only I could click somewhere to BUY NOW! Did you used to work in advertising in the surf industry? If not, you should. Or the Inertia.
They work great. A friend had a hand grinder one that we would put any junk fish that came up into. It would spit out shedded burley/chum over the rail igniting a feeding frenzy. Which caused us to catch more fish which went into the grinder which increased the frenzy. Good fun on a flat summer day in Hanalei. And we did catch a decent 7lb Papio after all.
Something from Meatballs…
Well, yes.
Throw us another clue Dez, you should know that we can’t work this shit out on our own
I know … he’s so over estimating our intelligence
Not sure quite how this works but,
Oh man!
“Just baked some backwards shit on El0’s Sup”
Way to go forward WSL!
I like your spirit, but no.
Oh great. I’m 0 and 1 in lip reading. Thanks.
