And they shall call themselves "Sack Lunch 2.0."
Oh we’ve all been saying “it’s over” for months now, as it relates to our World Surf League, but it is now, right? Blunders followed by silence followed by longest-serving-employee Dave Prodan being disappeared followed by the same Dave Prodan being awkwardly sandwiched in between Ross-Clarke Williams and Mick Fanning followed by unfortunate “opinions” followed by more silence followed by Dirk Ziff stomping out of the room, screaming “GRUMPY SURFERS BOUGHT GAMESTOP STOCK JUST TO SCREW ME AND I’M DONE!”
Congratulations, Grumpy Surfers, but what then should ex-professional surfers do?
The smart ones will hitch carts to fabulous “friends” and/or start a boy band together.
Boy bands trend in every single economic climate or are you not a student of history?
The Beatles, Menudo, New Kids on the Block, NSync, One Direction, Blackpink.
A forever up market, like GameStop, and who better to form up a brand new super group than Gabriel Medina, Kanoa Igarashi, Leonardo Fioravanti and Kelly Slater?
They shall call themselves Sack Lunch 2.0 and they shall make millions.

I feel the death of professional surfing has been over reported.
In fact, professional surfing is about to be saved by Australia. Again.
But who will care?
Care to save Beach Grit in the process and write about it here?
People close to me have killed themselves and I found Chas’ comments about people who suicide after wining lotto hilarious. Heard it just before I surfed and laughed all the way to the line-up. Anti-depressive.
I casually use this website, and I have to say. You ruin every single comment thread. Ive looked at four stories this morning and you have managed to ruin literally every single one.
News Flash:Trolling stopped being cool 10 years ago. And it was never really cool for grown men such as yourself.
Hopefully the people who run BeachGrit see this and know that your comments cost them readers.
Bex Inya. Ha!
Biden bent over and grabbed his ankles for Putin.
For being fans of cancel culture, you’d think Biden would try to use it for good. Cancel Putin ya swishy fuck Biden.
Biden gave Putin everything on START-3. How’s that a negotiation? It’s more bending to the whins of Putin. Biden’s administration is not only spineless, but dangerous. Putin has more tactical nukes in his arsenal than us, and believes in nuclear de-escalation. In other words Putin sees it fine to use tactical nukes to de-escalate. Trump saw that as dangerous but Biden thinks it’s fine so extended Putin’s desires till 2026. Biden, making the world less safe, one pen stroke at a time.
Pretty hot take seeing how Trump did nothing when Putin was putting bounties out on American soldiers. Then there was the time when Trump sided with Putin rather than his own FBI. Then we had the major cyber security attacks at the end of 2020 and Trump said nothing. Talk about bending over.
The Commander in that region of Afghanistan released a statement that after months of investigation no corroborating evidence could be found backing up what one Taliban detainee said. You should try dealing with the truth more.
You Dems believe too much in power of words alone.
What’s there to say to Russia regarding cyberattacks. You think saying “Bad Russia!” is foreign policy, you think that accomplishes anything? That’s not bending over to Russia. Stop deflecting and explain to me why Biden giving up everything to Putin re: START is a good thing. I’ll wait.
I should face truth more? The info didn’t just come from a detainee. They also found financial data that supported the bounties.
Secondly, I am not a Dem. I can see why you might think that but that is not my party. I am the party of calling out your baseless lies.
Saying “bad russia” is a foreign policy, so is placing sanctions on them. None of which was done by Trump.
I’m deflecting? Bex was talking about Faccism and you bring up START out of nowhere. I don’t know anything about START but at quick glance it seems to be a good idea to reduce nuclear arms. What is the downside to this?
They did not find financial data. SF found hard currency and asked what it was for. That’s all. One detainee and subsequent investigation found nothing. The Commander of forces in the region said so. You know more than him I guess. As an aside we put bounties on foreign fighters all the time. We call it a “Reward”, but it’s a bounty. And it’s not surprising and to be honest the troops don’t get worked up over it like you get your panties in a twist.
Trump placed more sanctions on Russia than any previous Administration. He was firstb to use sanctions as an effective foreign policy move. Look how he got Mexico to pay for the wall by spending their money on securing their southern border. That’s like paying for the wall. Trump used sanctions on Venezuela, China etc. Don’t spread misinformation saying he didn’t. Biden is undoing all of it. Did you vote for Biden?
Trump left START BC it placed no limitations on tactical nukes. None. Took Obama four months to negotiate the deal. According to Putin, Biden rejoined and extended START in one phone call. No terms, no conditions. Trump wanted China to join START. Trump wanted limitations on tactical nukes.
Facism happens abroad as well as at home. Biden’s Administration attacks US citizens with facsism, and makes the world less safe with START. It’s all part of the same shitty Biden Administration.
They 100% did find financial data, feel free to google it, its readily available. Imagine 20 years ago and defending an Afghanistan Commander over USA’s intelligence, yet here we are.
Trump did not place more sanctions than any other president. See the Cold War.
Mexico, Venezuela? What are you deflecting again? No, that cant be, not Otto, he never deflects!
According to Putin, really? That is the source you trust. You really ought to take a hard look in the mirror and see who you are puppeting. Its quite shocking that a Republican like you trusts Afghanistan and Russia more than his own government.
You sir have fallen ill to propaganda.
Why the fuck would you think I was referring to an Afghanistan Commander?
“It just has not been proved to a level of certainty that satisfies me,” General Frank McKenzie, commander of the U.S. Central Command, told NBC News.”
That was September, months after the story broke in June.
You don’t have to believe Putin, Biden released the transcript. One phone call “negotiation”.
Just admit you lied when you said Trump placed no sanctions on Russia. And the Cold War was multiple administrations.
Because you’re an idiot so I need to assume the most idiotic take.
I never said he placed no sanctions on Russia, I said he didn’t place sanctions for the hackings.
Cold War point still stands.
Are you still taking Putin’s word? I didn’t see a rebuttal there.
You always resort to name calling as soon as you start losing an argument with me. It’s pathetic.
As for Russia, they’re tickled pink with Biden.
Putin’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov enthused that “START-3 is being extended on Russian terms, for 5 years, without any conditions or additional requirements, without attempts to change the START verification regime, without those, in our view, absurd and unacceptable aspirations of the previous administration to make sure to draw the PRC [China] into this process without fail.”
The Cold War started with Truman in office and ended with Reagan. I’m sure if added up all those Administrations’ sanctions that’d be more than Trump, but that doesn’t refute my claim no Administration (not Administrationszzzzz) has placed more sanctions on Russia than Trump.
You lose again.
I call a spade a spade, I’m not losing anything cause this aint a game. Congress attempted to investigate the claims and was stonewalled. But sure lets take the commander’s word for face value and not allow an investigation. That seems like nothing happened.
It wild to me that you eat up Putin and his cronies words but can’t listen to your own intelligence agencies.
Even Obama had nearly the same amount of sanctions on Russia as Trump. Secondly, how do you claim to be tough on Russia while simultaneously trying to get them to join the G7?
An investigation was conducted. Congress is grossly inept at conducting investigations. Who do you think provides the intelligence to the CIA. Comes from the ground, and usually not CIA officers. If CentCom says there was no evidence, there was no evidence. End of discussion.
Russia is not going anywhere. Neither is China. China is a bigger threat but we allow them to be part of G7 discussions. You see, Russia was part of G8 before Obama suspended them in 2014. The talks are with industrialized nations and emerging nations, China being part of the emerging nations +5 group.
First off, the investigation was done by the Pentagon not congress. Therefore, they investigated themselves. Secondly, congress was pushing for an independent investigation into the claims. Centcom is not the beacon of truth, remember weapons of mass destruction?
I believe I asked, how do you claim to be hard on Russia while adding them to the g7, not, “is china worse than Russia.”
WMD’s in Iraq was.confirmed by CIA, not the Pentagon.
Russia was part of G8. In 2014 Obama rescinded their invite after Crimea. It did not serve any punitive purpose. Isolating Russia in that manner only pushed them into the open arms of China. After 2014, Russia increased military surplus sales to China, which further destabilized the region because instead of sanctions, the move by Obama opened up a cash pipeline for Putin. Sanctions are one thing. Isolation is another thing, and a bad idea another thing when utilized as a punitive measure. China is allowed to be part of G7 as one of the +5 emerging Nations, yet they pose as much, if not more of a risk to the US than Russia.
Oh really, the Pentagon didn’t investigate anything? A report by the Pentagon’s intelligence agency concluded last year there was “no reliable evidence” to prove Saddam Hussein had developed chemical weapons.
https://www.independent.co….
Obama sanctions on Russia – https://2009-2017.state.gov…
Why do I even bother with you, you don’t live in reality.
No. The point about the CIA and the WMD’s is that your beloved “Intelligence people” fucked up. And now you throw out a Pentagon investigation as being legit, but a Pentagon investigation for bounties would not be. You’re a fucking jackass who loses arguments with me right and left, but comes back for more. Sit down, shut the fuck up, or go step in front of bus.
And Trump issued more sanctions than Obama. Not to mention Obama was a hack that fucked up our country and only fucktards like yourself cheer him on. Everything Dems touch turns to absolute shit.
At this point a Civil War isn’t a bad idea. If it starts I hope you’re standing up front.
Weren’t you just crying about name calling? God damn you are one of the biggest hypocrites I’ve come across. Not only are you name calling you’re telling me to kill myself, a real class act I see.
Not once have I lost an argument with you, you just continue to move the goal posts on every point.
No you said, the pentagon didn’t investigate anything . They did investigate but why wasn’t this report shared prior to the invasion? My point being that departments agree and disagree with intelligence based on their own needs or what they are told they could move forward on. Just like in the bounty case, many intelligence officials believed there was enough evidence, the joint chief did not.
“At this point a Civil War isn’t a bad idea.” – Thank you for confirming how fucking retarded you are with just one sentence. Bravo Otto Bravo.
By the way you sound quite triggered and angry for being so self-righteous.
If pulling us out of a recession is fucking up the country, lets fuck the country up some more!
Like you said I’m calling a spade a spade. I said the Pentagon wasn’t the group that “found” WMD’s, it was your beloved CIA.
You act like Obama single handedly got the economy to recover from 2008. You’re blind allegiance to that piece of shit Muslim traitor is all too apparent. Obama fucked up the middle east. Now his dick holding VP is fucking things up again in the ME by increasing troop presence in Syria and setting the stage for going back to troop buildup in Afghanistan. Try taking Obama’s duxk out of your ass and realize he’s an unAmerican cunt just like you.
There were many things that assisted in the worst recovery. Dems love spending their way out. Signing an $800 Billion stimulus bill isn’t something Obama crafted. He increased unemployment insurance. Great, let’s have people make more money not working than working.
Moves that Bush made helped the exonomy too but cocksuckers like yourself can’t get enough Obama dick and give him all the credit.
https://money.com/who-reall…
Telling someone to kill themselves is a little different than calling someone an idiot but I digress, since nuance is not something you understand.
So many assumptions, where do I begin. I do not trust the CIA, so not sure how you came to the assumption that they are beloved by me. You still don’t get the point about the Pentagon and the CIA which is astounding, they were all in on it which is why the Pentagon supressed its report until 2014. If you think Obama was solely the reason for the insurrection in the middle east, I don’t know what to tell you. Not only that I do not have allegiance to any president, unlike you. A bit racist with the unnecessary Muslim comment eh?
And here you go again, moving the goal posts even further to the point you are now talking about Bush.
What is an “exonomy?”
Ah yes, Lee Crane’s infamous Sack Lunch. A precursor to BG in many ways. I think the story went that the “industry “ forced him to shut it down.
Yep, we need some Marjorie Taylor Greene on our side of the fence. Please, someone attempt to defend her.
She’s a fucking idiot.
Okay, now that that’s out of the way, let’s see you attempt defending Biden’s first 9 days in office.
glad you agree.
no we cant.
The bar is low on both sides
Can you at least criticize Biden then? Or is silence no longer violence?
I’ll criticize Biden if you criticize Trump.
Deal?
Trump is divisive. And an insufferable Ass.
Biden is a panderer, PCness is going to get out of control in the next 4.
Deal. Trump was too naive dealing with Obama holdovers, especially those unelected bureaucrats in various agencies. Trump should have pushed to end gerrymandering and abolish the 17th Amendment. He blew it not pushing those matters.
Wait, Mr. “its in the constitution” himself wants to abolish original constitutional amendments. HAHAHA Seem like you only want to follow the constitution to a T when it fits your narrative.
Thats hypocritical at best and you are off your rocker Otto.
The 17th Amendment was ratified in 1913. It’s not original to the Constitution. Our government was ORIGINALLY structured that the Senate would be elected by each State’s legislators, not the citizens. The Senate works as a backstop. The House is the Representative of the People. Not the Senate. The Senate should answer to the State Legislators.
Eliminating gerrymandering and abolishment of the 17th Amendment would be a fix to there being no term limits. Simply having term limits would make matters worse.
Gerrymandering has nothing to do with term limits. No term limits is an issue and then having term limits would make things worse? What are you talking about.
Yes, gerrymandering has to do with term limits. Both sides use gerrymandering for political advantage and the result is used to accomplish not being voted out of the seat, and dilutes the votes of citizens in House Districts.
By dealing with the issue of no term limits by simply having term limits, who will be left in charge are the 100’s if not thousands of staffers that run wild enough as it is. Let’s face it, they’re the ones that write the legislation. If the House is more accountable to the people by eliminating gerrymandering, and the Senate is accountable to State legislators instead of the people, then you fix the issue of no term limits and fix the problem with unelected unaccountable staffers.
Gerrymandering is used to split voting districting and has absolutely nothing to do with term limits.
Gerrymandering is a practice intended to establish an unfair political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries, which is most commonly used in first-past-the-post electoral systems.
You lose again.
I can appreciate your effort, I really can, but you just don’t get it. The issue of whether there should be term limits would not arise if gerrymandering was done away with.
Gerrymandering and term limits discussion do have to do with one another. Don’t believe me. Fine, believe her:
https://www.c-span.org/vide…
Did you vote for Biden?
I don’t believe you and I don’t believe her either.
I do agree that gerrymandering needs to be removed but I am not naïve enough to think that will automatically make districts competitive. Who decides the new redistricting? What happens when one district never changes its demographic, and votes for the same congressman over and over. These are the questions I ask when someone makes a claim that gerrymandering will remove term limits.
But lets not let this gerrymandering conversation distract us from that fact that you just advocated for removing an amendment you don’t like after yelling about the constitution for the post 3 months.
I don’t see the problem. It’s an offer of a solution to the issue of term limits. The 17th Amendment changed how Senators were elected. Prior to the Amendment Senators were elected by State legislators. Senators were thus accountable to State legislators making their decisions more closely aligned with State legislators’ decisions, particularly when it comes to spending and how spending packages often fall upon a State’s tax payers a federal source.
Here’s the thing, when someone’s decided to change how Senators were elected at least they went through the process of ratifying a Constitutional Amendment, which is more than I can say when it came how Dem Governors “changed” what the Constitution mandated they do.
Of course you don’t see the problem you’re not intelligent enough to see past what is presented to you. I would explain but you might tell me to kill myself again.
Fuck you and you’re quasi-constitutionalism, you only yell about the constitution when it suits your needs. We went over this already, the governors did not change the election. You probably didn’t know this but 29 states adjusted voting laws to better suit COVID, many of them being red states, but you would never bitch about the red state laws because you’re a fucking HYPOCRITE.
“adjusted voting laws”…. There, you said it yourself. You said it yourself that it was unconstitutional. You fucking lose again you fucking loser.
ahah are you fucking serious? Not once did I say it was unconstitutional to change voting laws, that was YOUR argument.
The constitution has no bearing on how elections are ran, those are left up to the state.
Youre just like Trump, you yell “i win” without any evidence to suggest you did in fact win anything. Fucking loser.
So keep the amendments you like, toss those u don’t?
The Amendment speaks to what the Founding Fathers saw as effective governance with checks and balances. The Senate was never meant to represent the people. The Senate was meant to represent the State legislators.
And citizens were never meant to open carry assault rifles either.
What’s an “assault rifle”?
Nothing to defend. Love all of it. Well, not sure about men playing women’s sports.
Not sure? He’s wiped out Women’s Equality.
That can call themselves the Wet Boyz. First singles will be “Backdoor Tubes'” and “Caught Inside (Your Love)”.
No one has done tandem porn on a surfboard yet.
It’s the only option left.
Tow in doggy style at 60 foot jaws will sell t shirts again?!?
I reckon once you’re 60+ you can start dying your hair again all crazy kine colours.
The ‘hiding the grey’ shit is stupid though. Triple retard with hair transplants.
Just be honest. Whacky colours isn’t dishonest it’s just fun.
I don’t really have any hair anyway so I’m just stirring trouble.
Upvote for ‘ crazy kine’.
Maybe the north shore vloggers could team up and form a boy band with a name something along the lines of backdoor boys, backyard boys, backside boys, back alley boys etc etc.
Or is that already happening the way they’re always in each other’s weekly videos ?…

Your solid commentary has never wavered.
None the less, I’m more interested in surfing than Brazilian goo gobbling.
