Entire "human ecosystems" built around blue-water wedges…
In this episode of Dirty Water, number twenty-five, you’ll note the terrible absence of verbal histrionics and the laughing outright into people’s faces.
Charlie Smith, who just celebrated a birthday, disappeared for two days on a sailing adventure and, therefore, the forty-five minutes is constrained by my introversion and inability to carry a conversation without volumes of paper notes.
Today’s guest on Dirty Water, Shane Beschen, has been described as a “loner and a malcontent” and with a face that has the pitiful expression of a cruelly beaten child.
Although a recent guest on Dirty Water, the forty-eight-year-old former world number two returns with important news concerning his tank in Mesa, Arizona, using engineering and tech made in Minnesota; the rapidly evolving world of wavepools; we later veer into the possibility that the sled-driven pool, as fabulous as it is, may already be obsolete.
Beschen also pokes a timely fork into the eye of Surfrider Europe.

This is perfect, put a fake environmentalist, eco warrior like Gerry, in a fake wave, make him wear his organic wool patagonia uniform, made by a fake eco warrior Yvon “let my people surf, just not where I surf, because I live at the Ranch , and we are suing the state of CA to keep you out” Chouniard, then make him ride his Chinese made foam board straight out of costco, and drink a virgin margarita because he doesnt like tequilla. This is the spirit of surfing, and oh yeah, put him in a man made wave pool in a place that gets about 2″ of rain per year. WSL, you are something great. Oh wait……we have to have mandatory yoga class and yoga mat signing……but….you will have to pay him for that.
If Nick Carroll was a wave pool would he be a left a right or just a crumbling end section
he would be a left and right point that wrapped around his chin
Its ironic the only cunts that champion wave pools in the media , are cunts anyway , you cunts.
I did say “fuck wave pools” in an earlier comment and I still mean that, but i agree those floating pollution palaces called cruise ships are fucked up, and should fuck right off. Bill burr was right when he said we should sink them for population control, only problem is the act of sinking a cruise ship is detrimental to the environment. Other than that it’s a great idea. It’s 6 a.m and I’m about to go to work, I’ll regret this comment in a few hours once I cheer up
I’ll listen to it later
Wave pools are shit, get fucked
Um..Devon Howard.
Something you want to tell Chas?
When Shane was comparing the pools to ski resorts he said that pools wouldn’t be dependent on snow, but they will for both water and power.
No no no. It’s all disconnected. Nothing effects anything else.

john wayne bobbitt freeman needs to be guest on dirty water
or The Grit! you choose @chas
I think at this point it’s going to be easier to make a list of ex pros who aren’t partnering in a new wavepool development.
It’s wild watching them scramble to create new revenue streams now that the pro surf dream is stalled and dying. In my opinion the guys who made millions as sponsored surfers were vastly overpayed anyways but I have never purchased a product based on which pro was pushing the product. The surf industry is so insulated and incestual it was always basically bros helping out their bros while the getting was good. It will be interesting to watch what it becomes now that the old model shit the bed. “The world needs ditch diggers too” -judge smails
When I was a grom QS warriors would make a smooth transition to former-sponsor brand reps
Or real estate suited sales gimps
Did you intend to say something?
Hurluley is developing cutting-edge wavepoo technology to assist surfers in dropping their weaponised hi-perf payloads whilst navigating kook-infested lineups, worldwide. Fresh water or Traditional Salt. Hurluley board
shitsshorts have your backside covered.Will your wave poo technology help me to get into a regular cycle? Or needn’t I look any further than oat bran?
Go new school. All the cool kids are scoffing down psyllium husk.
Not to be confused with psilocybin husk.
Oatbran X Pitted Prunes is where all the kids are at right now.
Pinch of salt and some water (milk is too MySpace) and you’re in for a ride.
Oh, CB, stop the cancellation cultural leanings already.
Apologies to all the milky crew out there.
I’m deeply sorry for the trauma and distress my thoughtless words may have caused.
