Look at that wave... it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a man skiing Mavericks!
I cannot imagine that you missed it, but in case you did, world-famous big wave skier Chuck Patterson confronted a girlfriend/wife-abusing man over the weekend and posted footage of the exchange to his Instagram.
The scene, pure Orange County noir, playing out under street lights in t-shirt warmth.
Chuck Patterson is wearing a long-sleeved flannel and flat-ish brimmed hat.
He describes the action, well, and let us soak it all in first.
I don’t normally post things like this but last night’s situation really bothered me. Date night took a turn after watching an abusive scene go on for way too long at the restaurant. It’s too easy to look the other way and not say anything but you could tell that she was so scared, and I don’t blame her. We cut dinner short to try and do the right thing. My girlfriend Trish tried talking with her in the parking lot while she was waiting for him in the car; in hopes to empower her in feeling safe and strong and that it’s not ok to be treated like this and letting her know we were there to help. He came out and after a few words we watched them drive off, but we were worried for her safety and decided to follow him and found the right moment to let him know no man can ever treat a woman this way. Apologies for the profanity; just about lost it!!Sadly this happens to so many people, and it’s rapidly on the rise in these challenging times. If you are in an abusive relationship, please know there is help. Don’t spend another night scared, feeling helpless. And if you see something, don’t stand on the sidelines, STAND UP, you can make a difference… do something about it, if it’s safe to do so. The National Domestic Violence Hotline 800.799.SAFE (7233)
Now, can you deny the man the world most needs is Chuck Patterson?
On the scene whenever justice is in demand?
He would absolutely smoke The Silver Surfer.
A Marvel franchise that would make The Incredible Hulk green with envy.
The Chuck Patterson.
After a two week hiatus, David Lee Scales and I discuss the future of superhero films, how the WSL has failed, VAL stuff, David Lee being trained to surf by a master etc.
Best show yet?
No.
No it is not.
Worth a listen?
Party Pete?
ever been to prison genius , or just lived a life on the forums pretending to be someone?
Just so you know rape was common in prison , as a lot of the older crims..you know real tuff ones like you and VS , who ran the prisons could do what they wanted….the guy I mentioned was one of Australia’s most Psychotic crims…
Nah mate, people who come on to comments sections under a pseudonym, talk bullshit about killing people in foreign countries, then threaten violence against others based in their military fantasies.
that’s how the Capitol Hill insurection happened , poor dumb bastards , now jail awaits them and Dumpy is really right behind them , but at a distance …you know like right down the back of the mob…heading for Florida LOL
Nice pic…sweepers are sort of annoying eh? I dont mind them splashing around, but the boards motion and their riders in general have ugly style. Also people failing to do aerials on a good wave. Even vals are more watchable.
What a lowlife.
“Babe film me talking to this poor bastard in the purple Hyundai for the Gram please.”
Premeditated virtue signaling? Three sides to every story. If that guy really was a woman beater what the fuck do you think happened when they got home after this confrontation? Road to hell is paved with good intentions.
he could be a super hero that brandishes a stand up paddle. oh nah weve already got one of them.
OC Laird, flaring
Just one. I figure it’s worth fuck all.
I’m wondering how they didn’t name “Idiocracy”, “Liberal Scum in the Future”!?
Whenever a guy “raises his voice”, and talks that much he’s as scared as the other guy. Looked like a draw. Then karen, and his girlfriend followed the guy which is a 2nd class misdemeanor. This guy is a f moron, and I wish they guy would have pulled a firearm and smoked him! F’gs that ski definitely run their mouths. The slut might have had the neighbors dick in her mouth. It’s none of your business, punk. I DREAM of some boy who is trying to look big to his girlfriend to follow me home in the States. Why don’t I ever get the fun moments in life. Had a car follow US for 8km out of Kandahar, and they no longer….
Towel he banned
(2)males(1)sex slave, fast tracked to the (72)virgin commodity(hell)!
I feel bad for the goat sex slave.
So good!
damn you’re tuff , is that Kandahar in Greece?
How’s Covid treating your sector? Are you going to survive the super duper deadly flu? Good luck,…
yeah we have zero Covid in our communities here…how about you….??
don’t worry you will still get the gold medal for the most deaths and dumbest conspiracy theories!
what is it about these people
They’ve probably worked for a living.
what in Khandahar Greece…LOL!
, and they no longer …
Followed you because they stopped for goat curry and iced tea?
Had erotic thoughts of other men?
Voted for Donald Trump?
Is there more to this story as it develops?
That’s what the Interpol report says, so I’m all about it….
I don’t think you’re just allowed to shoot people, are you?
It was just a flesh wound.
Totally urban hero stuff
I can’t believe he used the word empower in a non-ironic context.
Nod when you can point, wink when you can nod.
I still don’t own a smart phone.
I’ll listen to it later
Pete will comment later.
Can we crowdfund Chuck a trip to Lennox Head?
Pic?
A very Cali “confrontation”. Florida version of this would include f-bombs, screaming girlfriends and brandishing of firearms.
The confrontation needs background music.
Might I recommend Prince Midnight on an Uncle Filip “Skelecaster”
Prince Midnight made his “Skelecaster” using both the remains of a leftover Fender Telecaster and the bones of his dearly departed Uncle Filip, the man who introduced him to the rock genre back in the 1990s.
Filip died in a motorcycle accident in Greece in 1996 at the age of 28, and his skeleton was donated to a local college.
“After 20 years, he ended up in a cemetery my family had to pay rent on. Like, literally in a wooden box,” Midnight told HuffPost. “It’s a big problem in Greece because the Orthodox religion doesn’t want people cremated.”
So, with the help of a local funeral home, Prince Midnight had Uncle Filip’s bones sent from Greece.
The bones were in pieces, and after a few weeks of showing them to his friends, Prince Midnight decided that since Uncle Filip was a metal head “we’d turn him into a guitar.”

Well, that’s one way to get a skeletone out of a guitar.
Brings the death to death metal.
If they made a stringed instrument out of ELo’s bones, it’d be a kookulele.
(sigh)….I’ll show myself out.
I think the main problem is that he is basically strumming the guys groin.
The guy needs to rip like Wardo, then people still worship you and your abusive ways.
