A Surfing Life.
It’s impossible not to love Jonah Hill. The actor, a very funny man, first popped onto my horizon starring alongside Martin Starr, Seth Rogan, Michael Cerra etc. in Superbad. From there it was Moneyball, 21 Jump Street, The Wolf of Wallstreet, on and on.
The only dog, maybe, was Get Him to the Greek alongside Russell Brand but I only say such critical things because I watched it on an airplane and was possibly not in the right mood.
In any case, six shorts months ago Jonah Hill faced his fears and went surfing. Via Instagram he declared:
Been terrified to surf my whole life . Totally random fear and at the same time always been a secret dream of mine. Turned out to be one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had. Not only was it so fun and challenging but more so I’m like “damn, at 35 you can start doing shit you’ve always wanted to do.” Thanks @patmillin and Franco for taking me and @88surfboards.

Well, if you believe you can achieve and Jonah Hill just went out and slayed Malibu.
Don’t believe?
Per celebrities-in-the-wild website TMZ;
Jonah hit the sand with his surfboard just before 10 AM Friday near the famous Gladstones restaurant in Malibu.
Pretty impressive … considering the waves there can be pretty intense.
Whoa!
Click here for many pictures of where six months of training can take a purpose-driven VAL.
But, quickly, does it surprise you that James Franco (above) rides a wax-free Tomo much taller than he?
It does me for some reason but should it?
What up BG kooks?
I, rw, shot thee surfpix of Jonah, though i’d never heard of the guy,
+ pep’s were stocked to see him out in the surf!
That actor is just another dude,
tryin’ to have fun before reeeal life + its reality,
its scenerio, takes over…
He is just like you are, like i am…
And i’d betcha that he might even surf better than some of ya, ya kooks!
Yow~za!!!
I ain’t been online since i sent TMZ those surfpix,
so i gotta say it’s been kinda lame to read some of thee h8in’ comments right now on The WWW,
esh, Chas even had to write of Jonah, out for a surf, + then had to post of it,
here, on ‘Thee Grit’???
Hahahahaha, Chas,
why is ‘Beach Grit’ becomin’ more tabloidish?
National Enquire~ish?
When you wrote this article a coupla dayz ago,
me thinks that it must have been a slooow shark~week kinda day!
‘Shark Week’ did wonders for Discovery Channel, from what i’ve read.
Need MORE clickz, Chas?
Hmmmm…
rw
“Inquiring minds want to know!”
Wow…How cool. Perhaps this will inspire the Beach Grits core readership and contributors to do the same ? 🙂
Yea!!!
Go + surf,
ride some waves!
He’s gonna need at least a 10 board quiver considering how much weight he gains and loses every few months.

Another dork wants to surf. Wow, groovy. BTW, chas, it’s easy not to love him.
The biggest fucking EVO in the world!
Mitsubishi Lancer???
More Hollywood cockweasles encouraging their friends and fans to clutter surfbreaks the world over.
Ffaaaaaarrrrkk, this is NOT what we need !
Yea!
You own thee ocean, thee waves,
no 1 else getz to paddle out, with-out your permission, sound ’bout right?
F**kin’ kookz…
I’m afraid I was previously unaware of this person’s existence.
My life does not seem better for this new knowledge.

The ‘pretty intense’ waves of Sunset Beach on PCH? If we can’t trust TMZ, who can we trust?
i think this may be little dume, the millionaries shit point break where you need a key to open the gate
Oh, I figured Sunset because it is literally right there next to Gladstones.
You ‘know’ your L.A.surfspotz, Meeeister MadMaxMedia…
Here is Shannon,

I can recommend a product which may help him follow his dreams.
Look, I’m not one for fat shaming as I’m currently fighting a battle to stay consistently below the 100kg mark, but I thought we had enough stories on orcas. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Gee Lems, I woulda thought you’d ride a smaller board.
Horses for courses my friend.
Incidentally; recording session postponed due to lead guitarist breaking and chipping bones in hand after slipping while chasing nephew around a table. Sheesh.
Your post was ambiguous enough to allow razzing re photo.
Life is stupid isn’t it?
Ended up in ER yet again with daughter (3rd time in 6 months?) with concussion. She jumped up under metal play equipment and whanged head really good.
She’s a walking disaster zone.
And you will now have something else to blame her future erratic life choices on other than your genetic pre-disposition. Bonus!
(My wife and I race each other to blame each other’s family lines when ever one or the other kids do something stupid. I realise now I should have dropped them on their heads more often).
Proud to be ambiguous. I am right-handed but surf goofy.
88 blowing up
Two fat ladies.
The 88 could use some wax as well.
Maybe Mick can help out.
I always thought of Jonah Hill as a goofy fucker but I was wrong, he just a regular guy.
This article makes me feel better about myself.
It makes me feel worse about myself. At this rate Jonah Hill will be surfing better than me by 2023.
Franco is my mancrush

I’ve never laughed at anything Jonah Hill has ever said in any movie. Yeah, we get it, you’re fat and therefore supposed to be funny, but you just aren’t. Soz, brah. And you shouldn’t be surprised Frankie is riding such a large board. He got real into Stu Kennedy a few years back when Stu was pulling the wool over judges’ eyes amid LT proselytism, but needed something a little bulkier. The board is used as a strategy to help him come off as “quirky.” Also, Jonah must have the weakest calves ever, his suit of armor is loose there somehow. ELo has contacted him to be the subject of another Transformed episode.
What about when he played himself in
The End?
That was funny when he got butt raped by Satan,
Very very.
Franco also playing himself
Hilarious

Have you seen the Roast of James Franco? Jonah drops some gems. Nick Kroll kills too.
Agreed, I can’t stand the guy.
