Your new favorite professional surfer.
Kelly Slater who? On Saturday, Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway scored a heat total of 12.83 in grey 1 ft surf to win her country’s National Junior Championship in surfing on Borestranden Beach in Jæren. Her father, Crown Prince Haakon and mother, Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Prince Sverre Magnus, were there, on the rocky shore, to watch.
The princess, it is said, has always been fascinated with our surfing life and, when confirmed in 2019, was given a gift certificate for a surfing course where it is assumed she had very much fun.
She is the eldest child in her family and expected to succeed her grandfather King Harald V and become the country’s second female monarch.
Princess Ingrid is now, by far and away, my favorite professional surfer and I would like, very much, for her to appoint BeachGrit as the Royal Anti-Depressive Surf Website of the Norwegian Crown. We will have Karl Ove Knausgård come and write for us and show that hack William Finnegan how memoir is really done.
We will also take over the World Surf League, by royal decree, and make it a proper show with winners getting chaired up the beach in thrones and losers being locked in the dungeon plus all the other stuff we used to talk about like cutting the field in half, running events in one swell window, etc.
Very exciting times ahead.
Long live the princess.

On paper Norway must be the best country in the world. Down to earth Royal family into all sailing and surfing, home of Terje Haakonsen and santa claus, white picked fences everywhere you go and trillions in savings. If only those damn hippies in Australia could stop protesting this party could go on for decades.
Not to mention home of tre Kvlt Norwegian Black Metal!! Early 90’s Black metal was and is still one of the purest forms of musical expression. The fact it’s hard to listen to for most is what makes it pure.
Epic doc below.

Yea such a great movie. What else says love than eating your friends brain after he shoots himself in the head…then putting a pic of his suicide on you new album? KVLT!!
How good are Mayhem! I love Burzum too, Darkthrone are rad. That era is amazing.
And epic skiing.
Oh, they have the highest productivity in the OECD, while working an average of about 28 hours a week. Many work 4-day weeks so as to go to their mountain huts for a long weekend. Hence also fit as fuck.
How great is surfing! Very proud to surf and fit in with the royals and VAL’s. I’m going to take up equestrian. It’s similar to surfing and they will obviously accept me in their crew because I surf. Future exciting!
Tomas , you take your Maserati and I’ll take my Lamborghini , the Butlers and Stable Boys can look after the horses , and we can compare watches , before the first chukka of the BG Polo Match in partnership with BG Deck Grip and Hedge Fund …
It will be Smashing old chap and the after match entertainment will be White Russian Professionals ….oo la la
Haaa yes! There will be no pussy left for anyone else.
Something something Ali’i, executions of commoners etc.
Randy Marsh does her better than she does!
Did anybody notice what this “princess” did after she won a surf contest? She held her fist up.
It seems there is a “hidden fisting cult” that are victims, no matter the content.
I’m not sure i ever met a norwegian girl I didn’t want to bone
Of course the same could be said of german, Danish, Finnish…Dutch
Quicker to name the countries I dont get that reaction
After being involved with girls from these five countries , I finally married one !

This is great and very anti-depressive.
She learned last year, and now is winning comps. I think we have a new prodigy on our hands. Long live the princess indeed!!
Royal blooded beauty who can surf… I’m a fan.
What’s not love?!
my self
WSL judging fuckery no doubt.
Don’t fuck with the Shield Maidens ….. The spirit of Lagartha Lives !
12.83 is a VALient effort in 1ft waves
What else can u do in 1ft waves other than look like a VAL?
Norwegian oil sleeper cell. Watch out if she moves to Torquay!
At least the Norwegian’s were smart enough to nationalize it and keep the benefits for all its citizens ?
who built the cages joe? oh sorry wrong chat
I think Otto is trapped in a snowstorm. Donner Party 2020, Eat the hunting guide and save yourself.

Go the Viking DNA!
Some a born to do it , some are chosen ?
She could do a surf trip / Royal Surf Tour to Tasmania with the Australian Born Princess of Denmark ?
It’s official: Surfing is now set to be renamed the Sport of Queens.
Not quite yet.
I’ve heard a lot of people describe it as the sport of queens ever since Kahlil Sk8a came to prominence in the early ’90’s…
12.87 in one foot slop.
I think she just qualified for the women’s CT.
After dropping a 10 ,for the full rote Royal Norwegian Air , it is such a shame she couldn’t find a decent back up ….. merely a common ( folk ) 2.87 ?
She’s getting royally fuked by her cousin. I’ll bet
Contact her with congratulations and ask for an interview. Maybe she’s so sheltered she thinks this is a serious surf news site and will agree.
I think a casual perusal of BG would nullify that idea.
I guess if she can read English it’s game over.
Hun kan prinsene være flytende engelsk.
Hi AstroP , just wondering with your Norwegian background if the Princess is a distant ( or close ) relative ?
No no, I have met her grandfather and father a few times. Her dad surfs, nice family. The Norwegian royalty is quite low key.
Lovely to see . In my travels I have met good , and sadly not so good , from all socioeconomic levels and nations .
If she doesn’t scroll down to our royally awesome commentary, they are in with a shot for an exclusive. Stab will be so jelly
My 95 year old Norwegian mom is in full support.
Even Chas thinks finnegan is a hack!!!!
Sometimes it seems that the world is spinning clockwise again.
