Shaper Matt Biolos responds to board being sold for $5 in dissent: “I guess I’m a racist, now. Must be because I denounce the violent destruction of hardworking people’s property as a way to protest police brutality.”

The sequel!

Surfboard shaper Matt Biolos, currently en route to the Maldives for an absolutely fabulous family surf vacation, came under Craigslist fire, two days ago, when an upset one-time Lost enthusiast sold his Puddle Jumper for $5 declaring, “Well, I really liked this board. It had an eco-element, lib-tech futuristic technology, and a really fun shape… Then I found out that Matt Biolos is an arrogant racist pig. I should have assumed, but fuck this guy.”

He went on to complain about hypocrisy, claiming that Biolos had built his brand on the backs of “degenerate drug users” then “veiling his racism with social elitism.

I was confused, not very much understanding what it was about, the tying of degenerate drug use to veiled racism and social elitism and heading out on a sailing yacht so couldn’t call Biolos straight away but purposed to as soon I was in back in port.

To figure out what this business was all about and share my pride in the Craigslist activist for putting his money where his mouth is.

Admirable in this day and age.

No signal on the high seas etc. and I put it out of my mind until arriving in Newport Beach and seeing that Matt Biolos had taken to social media and spoken up for himself.

@tcolla, a fine photographer, had posted the BeachGrit story on his Instagram account. Biolos, thinking it was the Craigslist activist, responded, “I guess I’m a racist, now. Must be because I denounce the violent destruction of hardworking people’s property as a way to protest against police brutality. Oh well, anybody want a Puddle Jumper for 5$? Reach out to @tcolla. He seems like an open minded guy.”

And the pieces are beginning are coming together. Matt, and his Lost, made their mark by being counter-culture, rock-n-roll black sheeps, etc. but now that he is wealthy he is standing up for conservative values, respecting authority, etc.

Right?

Am I reading this all correctly?

I’ll get this straight as soon as Biolos returns from the Maldives.

Serious question- Where is Randall these days?

EDIT: insert “And by….”

Wouldn’t expect anything less than a condescending reply from you. Simple fact is you dish out asshole personal comments and when you get it back you can’t take it. As for bat shit crazy, we’re on BeachGrit, pretty sure it’s par for the course and encouraged.

Biolis’ biggest problem is sounding ridiculously stupid by trying to sound smart saying that all politicians are bad. Where, as here, our politicians represent conflicting interests, Biolis’ argument is like having a house on fire and saying that you equally hate both the arsonist and the fire fire who are standing outside.

Lay off drugs and go to Stab if you don’t like the comments. Safer for you there with Ashole.

SSD

You really have nothing to say on here except snarky put downs so I guess you’re a hypocrite as well as a bitch

Biggest benefit is being able to send Otto into a frenzy which is quite easy.

Even funnier is how many Biden boys he can make look pretty dumb and expose their ignorance and their racist prejudice

It’s funny how people talk so tuff behind a keyboard…haha.. but to call Matt a racist so some funny shit ( not really funny). Matt is about as racist as Beach sand choosing who’s feet it sticks too. As someone who some time with Matt back them and his partner, staying in cory’s room at the Pier back then, stay he’s pretty humble and down to earth. The guy would give you the shirt off his back and has help many of averages surfer with boards and for some shaping pointers, and work within the surf industry. Good for Matt if able to get trip or two to the Maldives, as the guy nearly lost everything back in 08… and pull off what could of been pile driving nose dive. Sure we all change a we age and our view change too, but at the core we are typically the same… lot os times it take an old song to remember the cause. Matt’s a surfer, that shapes, and although the guys is no Waldo in the water, guys surf daily if not more and has dedicated this life too surfing.. As for the kook on craigslist, he is most likely a Trust-a-farian, definitely a total barn who should sell all his boards for $5 bucks.

Surf Free or Die! Say no to lock downs which is spreading poverty around the world. Just live life. Fuck your college professor that says otherwise.

SSD

I wouldn’t say admirable. His goal was to attack Biolos. If he cared about black lives he’d have donated the board to underprivileged kid and or taken him surfing. without making a public scene about it.

Thanks psychic internet psychiatrist. Let me do you:

Make Puddle Jumpers great again. Vandalism is not freedom of speech

Not a racist, just an idiot for believing the propaganda fed to you. A lot of the violence was alt-right agitators trying to make protestors look bad. A literal nazi was arrested in TN for trying to burn down a federal courthouse.

It’s the oldest trick in the book. But of course dotards are too stupid to see the obvious.

The BLM protesters are surely gods children. Especially the white ones. You can see the halos if you look closely

Nice lifting of the N. Korean’s press agency and their choice of a word to insult Trump from a couple years ago before they started their love affair.
