When will this cultural sickness end?
Earlier today, it was revealed that premium surf magazine Stab had unleashed an expletive-laced invective on small but wonderful bodyboard website Infoamed after it dared challenge a supposition that those standing on surfboards had the right to drop in on those laying down.
A classic bullying move much discussed, and frowned upon, in our modern times but also historically.
Nobody likes a bully.
The world’s largest surf blog, BeachGrit, deeply feeling the injustice, interjected, daring Stab to fight as near its weight class as possible.
Difficult to be in weight class as Stab appears to enjoy many California burritos.
Stab’s response?
Silence.
Utter quiet across multiple platforms.
The classic bullying move, to attempt harm on the littles then cowering when called out.
But when will this cultural sickness end?
Tomorrow, BeachGrit begins training in the anti-bullying art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
More as the story develops.
Worldstar! Worldstar!
What is STAB!? Boogers rip!
Maybe the Lidder mag can reinvent themselves as “Bludgeon” magazine to counter “Stab”.
Chas… when we get back to large-scale industry trade shows, you better get a larger security detail with a specialization in yellow beanie-profiling…
Come on Chasdz, put ya dukes up.
I’m sure more than a few of us will pay to see you fight the grogan…
More than happy to share a bodyboard video on their website thou.
Boogz that do BJJ don’t take anything lying down.
Speaking of Stab how are the ever devolving comment threads here?
Lidding is legitimately rad, I’m bi-surfial.
Can’t be all fun and games here all the time. Where’s the fun in that?
You and Johns knees could be talking about raping children and I wouldn’t even know. Skimboarding straight past your novels and graphs.
How would you know there are graphs if you went straight past it….

I do kick flips over them on my skimboard. That’s how I know.
You’re breaking my heart.

Body boarders are legit cool. Surfers are lame.
Just cleared my coffee table of debris. Beginning reps of 10 jumps, sets of 3, right now. Ready to go, coach!
