Love is love.
How much do you love this surf life? Enough to paddle out on less than appealing days just to feel? Enough to break up with your guy or gal because they just don’t understand you paddling out on less than appealing days instead of snuggling up and watching Titanic? Enough to steal a car, break into a surf shop, steal three surfboards, two leashes then leading the police on a wild chase before fleeing your vehicle though getting caught eventually?
I didn’t think so.
And so let us meet our new icon Nathaniel K. Jacques of Massachusetts who was arrested by Salem police after a wild chase during which he allegedly nearly struck an officer and crashed into two cars after running over a spike strip.
The police found three surfboards in his car that matched ones stolen from Cinnamon Rainbows Surf Shop.
According to court documents, the surf shop on Ocean Boulevard was broken into at 1:53 a.m. Surveillance footage showed a light-skinned male of medium build breach the rear door with a pry bar. Footage showed the man dressed in a long-sleeve hooded sweater, baseball cap with a surgical dust mask on, remove two surf leashes from behind the front counter. Another camera showed him leaving the store with three surfboards.
It must be assumed that one of the boards was a retro fish and would have looked/been silly with a leash.
But wow.
We don’t love this surf life so much, at the end of the day.
Wanna plan a heist?
Light skin males on the loose
Goldarnit. I’ve only got 2 out of the 3 key attributes of a core surfer.
judging by the picture, wilko has fallen on hard times
Me holyself bless thou! xoxo S2
Why are you calling him “light skinned”? Dude is WHITE. Light skinned is how we describe a black person’s skin tone. You are either unwittingly or on purpose trying to suggest that he’s a black man. Please change this. Btw, I’m a hapa woman with a “light skinned” son.
In the article, the section to which you’re grief stems states this at the beginning: “According to court documents…” Your grief is not with Chas.. it’s with the court documents of which he’s citing. I’ve never seen Chas write with any racial bias, whatsoever. I think everyone who read this article and saw the picture can surmise that he is, in fact, a white dude, REGARDLESS of what the court documents mentioned.
Did you ever consider that ‘we’ is not the entire human race and maybe not everyone has your hangups?
Very good point.
Honest mistake, he thought he was robbing a Dunkin Donuts. Kids, stay off the Oxi’s.
The kids may have had the wrong mixture at the “skittles parties”
Could you imagine committing a heist with Chas? He would definitely be heavily focused on his fashion.
my half-sister’s father sometimes tells a story about robbing a bank in a small town in western el salvador where his role was to take a position on the sidewalk and guard the entrance with his rpk and he went and knelt in a fresh smelly dog shit and his kerchief kept slipping off his face. i can totally imagine chas in that situation.
Haaa!
On the other hand, it runs in the family and he might have some insider knowledge.
A mate of mine told me he was going to start robbing banks etc if he wasn’t a millionaire by the time he was 30. Exciting! He died when he was 19 which was disappointing.
This guy needs to watch out. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Bakatcha LGR !
How do the Aussies here feel about surfing in the rain?
Is it my spooky imagination or does it really make it make the Noahs more active?
Either way, I just can’t bring myself to go out.
It’s pretty shit today anyway man.. but I find it great in the rain when there’s no wind. *edit, after rain I think the toothy fuckers hang out more than normal.
Yeah I know it’s heavily onshore and garbage. It’s more a theoretical question.
I’ve had some really fun sessions in the rain in Hawaii, but here… mmm not so sure ‘bout the wisdom.
Don’t mind the rain too much. Sometimes makes the walk around to the points at Noosa less crowded, so there’s that. It’s more about the murky water that squeams my guts.
One thing for sure surfing in the rain in Manly….you will be on the toilet for a few days.
Was happy to surf in the rain in tas, less comfy on the gc what with the runoff from the creeks – more worried about what’s coming from the agricultural runoff than sharks tho…..
Any details on the combined litreage of this haul? As we all know, knowing the litres of your board is of paramount importance in this day and age, and should have rightfully been included in this shocking report.
My New Years resolution is to commit more crimes
yeah, Ive been slacking too.
String of bank jobs, dodgy masks, some casual/very extreme skydiving and I’m in.
Come surf Jersey…. they’ll arrest you on site when u get back to Oz
I’m sooo hungover hey xox
My sister was sposed to meet us for lunch, didn’t see her till 830…pm. Hangover of the decade she reckons….
Good for her! The first day of the year and I was already hungover.
I reckon!!!
I guarantee they were mid lengths. So hot right now
If u feel the need to commit crime, step ur game up. Do private contractor work for the Gub. Enough money for a quiver, and u get away with m……….
Meth is a hell of a drug.
Get da boards bruh, surf tha pipeline brah!
A large black guy stealing boards from a shop in NH???
When monkeys fly out of my butt.
You have to be REALLY down hard on your luck to steal multiple surfboards. If it were just one, it might be more understandable but not any less reprehensible. Not really sure what the motivation was or what but then again CS makes a pretty good point with “what would you do for love?” However, this one is a little over board!!! (ba dum, tiss!)
its weird, but i can remember the first time I heard about boards getting stolen. it was about 12 years ago. one was taken off the roof of a buddys car. Another was out of a car at a pretty packed point. Think it was the same swell. Before that you left your shit anywhere and no one took your boards. No one that surfed stole in our area, and no one knew the value, or where you could sell them. Today… i guess you can sell them anywhere.
stealing a surfboard?, that’s way bad juju
on the other hand, borrowing one indefinitely from a friend, that’s love
he picked the shittiest boards of the bunch from what the word says. like big fat gremlin like things
