"Neither of them know about the contents."
I have long considered BeachGrit to be the world’s greatest surf tabloid but shame, pure shame, has washed over me in waves as I have come to realize how shoddy we are and especially compared to Brazil’s gossip media.
They have sunk their shiny teeth into the Gabriel Medina family saga so deep, so enviously deep, and blood is oozing.
You have certainly been keeping up with the 1x World Champion first firing his step-father Charlie as coach then rumor and innuendo about various dramas bursting through the seams.
The latest?

Lingua Sogra is reporting that Medina’s mother had his new wife sign secret papers when the surfer and model began dating. Per the translation:
Another chapter in the controversy involving the couple. According to columnist Leo Dias, the surfer’s family had the model sign some documents as the beginning of their relationship – and to this day, neither of them know about the contents of the signed papers. Medina’s family would face problems with the city hall, adversity involving legalization and purchase of real estate and other tax issues. Therefore, the athlete would have hired a lawyer to review everything and resolve the problems with the Maresias district, on the east coast of Sao Paulo. Still according to the journalist, close friends of Medina claim that his mistake was to let the family always be in control of his personal and professional life. Although they all had separate belongings, everything was controlled by the surfer’s family. After discovering the illegalities, Medina would have even cut the allowance she was giving to the family. Tense isn’t it?
Boy.
It sure is.

Excellent. I use the same uniform at 58 much to my wife’s chagrin.
no name C grade “pro” surfer/vlogger
chances he’ll take the fight = slim to none
What’s truly wild, the real story, is how Charlie feared Gab’s focus would shift, so Gabs came out to take 2nd, 2nd, 1st in the first three events. Absolutely a maniac, and the biggest fuck you daddy I think I’ve ever seen. I hope he wins every contest in 2021 and dedicates it to Charlie. Ps. we all know the killer is having children.
Plus the comment he made in his victory speech – wow!
What did he say at his victory speech other david but with a c!?
Hi david with an f
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner – he did the usual thank yous, then went into this very unusual statement about “don’t let anybody take your happiness from you” thing, it was very un-Gabe like!
Good material for a dark comedy drama. Peter Dinklage could play Charlie.
I think Momma probably wanted a nice Brazilian Catholic girl to have bambinos & sit up on the back bleacher!
What region of Nazi Germany did Yasmin Brunet’s great grandparents escape from?
They lived next door to Giselles,
Am I the only one who knew Giselle was part Nazi?
Santa Catarina is famous for its blonde blue eyed Brazzoz and taste for pork knuckle
Gabriel resembles his step-dad so much more than his actual mother, freaks me out.
The single most lurid aspect of the Charlie / Gabz scenario would be the DNA tests proving your, Sir Charles, paternity of them both. There’s an audacity and a jawline between y’all 3 that is undeniable
Do you dress like an 8 year old?
Old news, but cool post.
Did we already cover it?
No, but our mate Paulo de Tarso brought this gossip to the board a few days ago. I don’t think most of us had seen it though. I’m mostly just being an ass.
I thought that it was perhaps suggesting that his mother had been in control of all his finances, including spreading the money out amongst family/friends.
Do you also like copy and pasting, giving up at the first hurdle, and naps? Is so, you’re hired.
Fascinating development. I’ve reinstated the BG ‘Deep Penetration’ investigative team to do some more digging.
So far we have googled ‘Brazil’ and can confirm that the above post would have most likely been translated from Portuguese, which it appears people in Brazil speak for some reason. More as it comes to hand.
You may know too much already. Be careful. The one time I investigated Brazil, I found out that they were nuts.
dude i’ve gone deep cover in brasil and it’s so nuts and also emptied nuts, hint hint. it’s a verifiable glory hole of a country, staffed by hot exotic ladies. i’d advise all BG commentators to ride the lightning of the Brazilian Storm. fucking oath, i humbly offer, for the aussie crowd.
…a man walks into the doctors office wearing only a shirt and shoes…”Well I can clearly see your/’re nuts”
Did your investigations take you to Help (nightclub) on Copacabana? Wooooweeee!
i’m here to report for said deep pentration, captain. where’s the hot ethnic lady peloton instructors to make this happen, tho? you’re cute, surfads, but not my type, being a dude and all.
You’ve got this one pegged.
Apparently his mother has also fallen out with everyone at the Derek Zoolander-esque Gabriel Medina Institute! Didn’t Kalani Robb have some issue with his parents and his finances?
Probably one of the worst examples is NHL’er Jack Johnson.
The TL;DR synopsis…his father bankrupted him.
So apparently (according to my Brazilian flatmate) Leo Dias is like the TMZ of Brazilian media – a source of questionable reliability. But in essence Gabriel was aware that his family was controlling his finances, though irregularities have recently come to light. Gabby has now cut the family off financially!
He is also right 90% of the time.
Does that mean ex-coach Charlie must resume chicken hawking?
I’m not sure the Grit reaches tabloid status yet. I see it more as the HuffPost of surf media – reposting the work of other journalists who actually speak directly to sources and go on location – unless, of course, the news breaks from the hotbed of breaking news that is Cardiff by the Sea.
no! you are!
I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but can someone explain this gibberish? I’m guessing something is lost in translation, because this makes zero sense.
Gabby is the Britney Spears if surfing.
Will he age as well at Britt Britt?
…”neither of them knew about the contents”…
Why not ?
I know a long held thought by many of the general populace is that surfers and models are halfwits and morons but can’t these two actually read ?
P.S.
Are there actually any other (quasi)surf tabloids, or is BG currently uncontested in low(ish) brow journalistic endeavours ?
P.P.S.
Obviously Longtoms’ contest reports are the exception to the attempted tabloid qualities enjoyed by most here…
Pretty standard for a beard to sign a non disclosure agreement.
In this case a bearded clam
Ten years. Ten years Gabriel has had to put up with this shit. His entire professional existence. Fuck, this freedom he’s getting must feel great.
he sure looks to like it in the water.. lets hope JJF gets it back going and the two battle to ….. (fucking) trestles… and lets hope he doesn’t land one of those full rotations in the flat anymore. jesus… my balls climbed back up when i see that.
Gabz clearly came to love his enslaver/prison-guard, a la the Stanford Prison Experiment. It’s why we erotically loathe E Lo.
mothers-in-law are nice the same way beers are nice: freezing cold, on the table…
