Tiki bars, Hawaiian bbq, hula dancers.
Unless you are the sort of person that harbors ancient grudges against “jocks” for their meanness in high school and/or you are Australian then you will very likely be watching tomorrow’s Super Bowl. The game, pitting San Francisco and their surfing running back against the Kansas City Chiefs will be played in Miami and broadcast at 3:30 pm pacific standard time.
Just down the beach from the stadium, one-time New England Patriot star Rob Gronkowski will be throwing a Super Bowl beach party named “Gronk Beach.” The upstate New York native claims that he “never really partied on the beach before” but is selling tickets ranging in price from $800 on the lowest end to $1 million at the top.
Since we surfers party often on the beach and for free let us learn about “Gronk Beach” and its pricing model so we can better monetize what we do most.
Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is throwing it down the way Gronk knows best, in the city that brings the heat.
Gronkowski is hosting a larger-than-life, pre-Super Bowl “Gronk Beach” party on Saturday in Miami Beach complete with open tiki bars, Hawaiian barbecue and hula dancers.
But it’s no surprise that ticket prices match the party vibes. A general admission ticket costs around $800 and a VIP table is $2,000. The “Big Game Royalty Experience” package includes a private jet for 10 people, a ride on NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal’s shoulders and a private Miami mansion for the weekend — all of which will cost $1 million.
A ride on NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal’s shoulders?
Why didn’t we think of this?
Also, the party mines Hawaii’s proud culture very much.
Do you think Gronk should pay reparations?
But back to the Shaquille O’Neal shoulder ride… how much would you pay for that feature alone?
Cultural appropriation.
But how could we bring more value to the time we spend on the beach? More money in our pockets?

In this secret hidden video, Kyle Shanahan talks to the team after the Super Bowl:

That was like Slater vs Irons at Pipe all those years ago: 2006 or whatever that was.
Niners had that cat in the bag, and they let that cat out.
That’s gonna sting.
Oh well, still a good season.
I though Shaq walked with a cane these days or something? All that crazy pressure put on his knee / hips joints just by being so big.
?
Wow the clip got me I’m in, I’m surprised Fisher didn’t receive a call up.
bare knuckle throw down between sunny and billy keeper – his whole passionate chest pumping deal reminds me of professional sport. Would love to see the back of it…
Copying those WSL experience packages I see…
A ride on Adriano De Souzas shoulders would be worth something on the open market surely?
I can get the same sensation by merely standing though.
Beh – Volcom on hold.
It’s on!
Go Yago!
Go Cam!
Go Tanner!
gronk once made a free throw with a couple seconds left on the clock to get his HS BB team to 69 points…then he chucked the second off the backboard so their score would stay that way
He’s an idiot, hilarious, awesome, and perplexing all at the same time
While maybe not in the same league, I once got 69 runs in a warehouse cricket game, and blocked out 3 overs so I could get a ’69 not out’.
