Contest: Lip-read insult on Backward Fins video and win perfumed head-to-tail BeachGrit pack!

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.

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.

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.
