The world was thrown into a tizzy, days ago, when surfing’s most influential voice, Stab Editor-in-Chief Ashton Goggans was on the lookout for a new senior editor to be his right hand. Resumes flew fast and furious but one stood out and if longtime underground star Nugable is not on his way to Venice-adjacent right now it will be a bigger sham than the Iowa caucus…
The Nike/Hurley sale is perhaps the biggest surf industry story of the last decade. How would you cover it, what stories would you want to read?
Andy Irons was the biggest story in the last decade. Hurley being sold to (*stolen by) a venture capitalist isn’t even close.
You can interview one current A-List surfer. Who do you call and what questions do you ask?
I’d interview Gabe Medina and ask him if Gerry Lopez appeared in a commercial spot with Richard Nixon and Pol Pot instead of appearing in Big Wednesday, would we still love him?
Pick two products from brands that you think would be good fits for Stab’s audience, and give us 150-300 words about each.
I don’t write advertising copy. Sorry.
Grab your two favorite short surf clips from the last year from YouTube or Vimeo, and give us a 300-word write up for a post on our site.
I stopped watching surf clips when Marine Layer Productions died. Instead, I’d make a Tik Tok story about how much I miss Vine and Marine Layer.

I sent the last copy of my resume to Big Brother Skateboard Magazine. They haven’t called back yet, but my fingers are crossed.

What kind of globalist trash is this magazine? It full of globalist propoganda and garbage being pushed by Ge0Rge $ 0R0 s. How f kin stupid can you be to believe any of this?
Is that the son of Super Mario in that photo ?
I conquered the CAPTCHA. I’m not sending you all that shit but I can suckle a teat provided it appeals to me and I guess a few other factors.
Is that top photo the results of too small a pond and too much gratis Bud Light? Looks like someone is about to throw a wild slap
*massaging
passive aggression doesn’t make up for getting slapped and acting like a lil bitch.
This has been happening for years. Killer Whales attacking Great Whites only to eat their livers. There is proof. It happened in South Africa when 2 killer whales called Port & Starboard (named after their dorsal fins) attacked numerous Great Whites. Which is why there have been a lack of sightings of Great Whites in South Africa for almost 2 years. The Great Whites know that Killer Whales are a danger to them & leave the area.
Less sea monster clickbait, more Ashton clickbait!
Oh, wait…
It’ll be wall-to-wall ahead of Goggans vs Smith III!
So many layers of completely esoteric weird sarcasm, very impressive, how do any of you guys even have time to surf?
What is surfing?
Something to do with sharks??!?
Dunno
Surfing is something u should not do
I think we’re the Romans😳.
Think my new fave surfer is the masked hero doing the BG board test schralping. Clue as to identity?
I could, but then you’ll work it out and Santa will stop bringing you Christmas presents.
He kind of makes me feel lousy though. Without being able to identify him as a pro, I assume he is a normal guy like me and I am just very terrible at surfing in comparison. I guess that’s true either way though. Shit
I’ll give you a clue. If you’ve ever surfed on the Goldy, he’s probably burned you.
Because that narrows it down?
I assume that’s SOP for the Goldy though. Gimme more? Former low-level CT’er? Super handsome? I have a face in mind but can’t remember his name.
I enjoyed reading this useless information.
i met a nice Brazilian woman recently, non-surfer, but she was all over the Medina / Bolsonaro stuff. Loved Italo, the people’s champ!
just a point of order.
Hi Nug.
If you count the coffee table jump and the surf expo slap wouldn’t any future fracas be Goggans/Smith 3?
I’ve been petitioning for this!
Its 3!
The Thrilla in Vanilla.
Lol thanks!!!!
Kicking Ash is funny and all, but this couldn’t simply have been just a comment? Nothing really there. Seems odd to elevate something so pedestrian. Keep this up and next thing you know we’ll have author Bex unleashed on us.
Elevate us Karl with another workplace written resume comment/novel.
And I really think everyone needs to back off Ashton. We all know what happened to Jesus, I for one don’t want the Messiahs blood on my hands.
He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very *______ boy…
*Insert preferred adjective.
Thank you. Pedestrian is my middle name.
God, why would you give away a Big Brother?
My demands are unlikely to be met.
